How to Utilize Surveyor Forums
How to use Forums
Our forums on Land Surveyors United are here to be used as much for finding help with problems in the field as the are for you to express your opinions on anything that has to do with land surveying in general. Feel free to share anything that is on your mind, as long as it isn't meant to damage another member's reputation. Please keep it clean and help insure that everyone has the opportunity to enjoy the benefits of being part of a community that grows together.
We are committed to allowing freedom of expression for all of our members, and that includes maintaining a safe space for people with opposing views to express themselves. We get posts from all over the country and even the globe, so needless to say, people come with different viewpoints on lad surveying practices and processes. We see this diversity and variety as a real strength-- dialogue and debate are an integral part of the educational process, as well as an important tool in exploring different sides of complex issues.

Hi, is the unit used as a base or rover?, It is best to configure the radio settings via the Pac Crest software. Regards, Walter
the C has something to do with a capture mode. they say to clean the contacts of dirt or moisture. we use PacCrest radios, so this is all I got. hope it helps.
Try Trimble PDLCONF to set PDL450 (is a PC software), meaning RS232 settins, the channel you want to issue cossection, and so on. To set the GPS base to issue corrections, use TSC2 and set "Base radio" mode PDL450, serial port settings (I think port1 is Lemo and port2 is 9-pin connector), check wich type of correction you send from base (RTCM or CMR) and go ahead.

PACIFIC CREST RADIO CONFIGURATION
using PDLCONF version 4.0 software
To configure the Pacific Crest Radios (PDL Base and/or the Internal PDL Rover Radio) you will
need to have the following software installed on your computer:
Evaluate (available from Thales Navigation at ftp://ftp.thalesnavigation.com) and
PDLCONF Version 4.0 (available from Pacific Crest at http://www.paccrst.com)
PDL Base Radio Configuration
You will need the PDL Base Radio, antenna, power supply and PCC cable (P/N A00470). For computers
with USB ports only you will also need a USB to Serial Adaptor.
Page 2

Connect the antenna to the Base Radio and then connect the PCC cable to the Base Radio and
computer COM Port. Connect the power supply last.
Turn on the Power for the Base Radio only after connecting the antenna.
(NEVER turn on a PDL Radio without first connecting the antenna)

Open the PDLCONF program on the computer.
Select a Serial Port if prompted.

Left click on the
icon in the upper left corner of the dialog box and click on Set Capture
Method and Soft Break. If you were not prompted for a Serial Port upon starting the software
you can click on Select Serial Port from this menu to open the appropriate dialog box.
Click on the
button.
The Capturing Modem dialog box should open.

When a successful connection to the Base Radio has been made the Loading dialog box will
open and the software will begin reading the current configuration of the radio.
The Port Baud Rate in PDLCONF and the Port Baud Rate of the Base Radio must be set the
same for a successful connection, if not an error message will occur. If this happens try again
using a different Port Baud Rate.
Information from the PDL Base Radio will appear under the Identification Tab. Enter your call
sign and company name in the Call Sign and Owner fields.

Verify that there is an internal radio installed in the ZXtreme and that it is a PDL Radio. The
Model label on the rear panel of the ZXtreme indicates the radio type and frequency range.
On the back panel of the ZXtreme connect the antenna to the Radio Port and the PC-Download
cable to Serial Port A. Then connect the PC-Download cable to the computer COM port. (If an
external power supply is used connect it.)
