2.4.1. Turning On/Off the Receiver
To turn ON the receiver, press and hold the power button until the LEDs briefly flash. To turn OFF
the receiver, press and hold the power key for more than one and less than four seconds (until both
the STAT and the REC LEDs are off).
This delay (about 1 second) will prevent the receiver from being turned off by mistake.
2.5. Connecting the Receiver and a Computer
JAVAD GNSS TriVU software provides an interface for various configuration, monitoring, and
management functions for the receiver.
To configure, manage files, or maintain the receiver, connect the receiver and a computer using
one of the following methods and start TriVU:
• a Bluetooth®-enabled external device (computer/controller)
• an RS232 cable and a computer/controller
• a USB cable and a computer/controller with the JAVAD GNSS USB driver installed
Once you have established a connection between the receiver and the computer/controller, you
will be able to configure the receiver and its components, send commands to the receiver,
download files from the receiver's memory; as well as, upload new firmware, upload an OAF, and
upload configuration files to a receiver, using TriVU.
