Titan IntroductionCongratulations on your purchase of an SMI Titan! For years surveyors have asked us when we were going to have data collection software on a platform other than the HP48-GX. Some surveyors wanted a data collector that was more rugged, others worried about how much longer Hewlett-Packard would continue making the 48’s. We had some of the same concerns but we knew that moving our software, which has been developed and refined over the last 10 years, to a new platform represented a huge challenge. We knew that we had to find the best possible platform before we made the jump. Great software is only half of a data collector. Surveyors like a data collector that is easy to hold. Most are used to having real keys to press. Many prefer the vertical format like the 48.

We feel that the Titan addresses all those concerns. It is tougher than nails and runs Microsoft Windows CE Version 3.0 as the operating system. The screen display looks just like the HP48 so you don’t have to learn a new system. In fact, it runs an emulated version of the HP48 operating system. The same software that has been running for years in the HP48 is running on the Titan, so you can use it with confidence.

Mark Bellamy has done the majority of the work in the software development of the Titan with some help from Rick Grevelle and myself. As always, Stanley Trent, the founder of SMI, has been highly involved in the design. This project may have not happened at all without the encouragement of Butch Herter, who saw the need for this product, helped to get it started, and contributed to the design. Other valuable input to the project came from Brandon Wampler, Bryan Dean, Phil Trent, and many surveyors in the field.

It has been a pleasure to work with this talented team on a product that has turned out so well. I want to thank all of them for their hard work. They all know that it isn’t over yet. We will continue to work to develop tools for land surveyors that will make their jobs easier and more productive.

Sincerely,

Kenneth TrentProject ManagerSurveyors Module International

Use of the KeyboardThis section explains how to use the keyboard on the Titan. You will learn how to turn the unit on and off, as well as the keys and overlay on the Titan.

Turning the Unit OnTo turn the hand held unit on, simply press F1 on the keyboard. The Titan screen normally activates.

If the battery is too low to start the unit when pressing the F1 key, refer to Charging the Titan Battery on page 11 for steps on how to charge it.

Turning the Unit Off ManuallyTo turn off the Titan, press the following keys: blue key and F1, one after the other (releasing the previous key before pressing the next). The display clears and the keyboard no longer beeps when a key is pressed.

� The device does not turn off when charging.

Keys and Overlay on the Titan KeyboardThe table in Titan Overlay on page 3 lists all the keys on the Titan keyboard (Figure 1-1 on page 3), as well as a description of what each key does. The keys in Blue require that the Blue key is pressed and released before the appropriate key is pressed. The keys in Red require that the Red key is pressed and released before the appropriate key is pressed. The keys in Brown require that the Brown key is pressed and released before the appropriate key is pressed. The keys in Black do not require that a key is pressed and

tartedreleased before the appropriate key is pressed. You can just press that key to execute the function listed.

Titan OverlayIt is important to note that the functions printed on the overlay on the Titan refer to the SMI program. This means that if you are in the system software, you need to switch to the application software to use these functions. The only exceptions are the Function keys (F1-F4), which are accessible in either the system or application software.

� The Emu48 icon will make the SMI program current if it is running, or start the program if it is not running.

Mode Keys on the TitanThe Titan keyboard comes with four different Mode keys that have different functions. If you are using any software other than SMI software on the Titan, it is important to note that the system software CTL, ALT, and SHIFT keys have been remapped. The CTL key is accessed by pressing and releasing the Blue key, then pressing and releasing the 8 key. The ALT key is accessed by pressing and releasing the Blue key, then pressing and releasing the 9 key. The SHIFT key is accessed by pressing and releasing the Blue key, then pressing and releasing the UP ARROW key. This is important to know. If you are using SMI software, there is no need for the CTL, ALT, or SHIFT keys.

The four different Mode keys on the Titan are the Blue, Red, Brown, and Alpha keys. These keys will behave differently whether you are working in the system software or the SMI software. When you use any of these keys, they display in the system tray in the lower right corner of the screen to indicate that you have turned one of these keys on. The following sections provide a brief explanation of these keys.

Blue Key

When you press the Blue key, a Blue key icon displays in the system tray in the lower right corner of the screen, as shown in Figure 1-2 above. You are only allowed to press one key after you press and release the Blue key. Once the next key is pressed, the Blue key mode is turned off until you press and release the Blue key again.

You will need to use the Blue key to enable any of the keys that are affected by the blue functions in the overlay. The keys affected include the character and mathematical symbol keys. The Blue key allows you to type characters and mathematical symbols in the SMI program. The exceptions are the letter keys (A-Z keys). To type letters in the SMI program, you can simply press the appropriate letter key directly.

You can also use the Blue key to enable CAPS LOCK in the Titan system software. To do this, press and release the Blue key and then press and release the 0 key.

There are a few more special key combinations using the Blue key. For all these combinations, you must first press and release the Blue key, then press and release the appropriate key. These special combinations are:

Blue + 1 = Home

Blue + 2 = Page Down

Blue + 3 = End

Blue + 5 = Page Up

Red KeyThe Red key enables all the keys affected by the red functions in the overlay. The red functions are shown above the key, on the left side, as shown in Figure 1-1 on page 3. In this figure, the Red key is located where the CTL key is located. When you press the Red key, a left arrow icon displays at the top of the screen, as shown in Figure 1-3 below. You are allowed to press only one key after you press and release the Red key. Once the next

� Note that Red Mode is only available in the SMI software.

� Note that the SMI software uses the CTL key for the Shift Left or Red keys.

Brown KeyThe Brown key enables all the keys affected by the brown functions in the overlay. The brown functions are shown above the key, on the right side, as shown in Figure 1-1 on page 3. In this figure, the Brown key is located where the ALT key is located. When you press the Brown key, a right arrow icon displays at the top of the screen as shown in Figure 1-4 below. You are allowed to press only one key after you press and release the Brown key. Once the next key is pressed, the Brown key mode is turned off until you press and release the Brown key again.

� Note that Brown Mode is only available in the SMI software.

� Note that the SMI software uses the ALT key for the Shift Right or Brown keys.

Alpha KeyWhen you are in the SMI program, the Alpha key enables you to use the white letter keys (Figure 1-1 on page 3). To turn Alpha Mode on, simply press and release the Alpha key. This will enable the letter key instead of the function associated with the key.

The α in the figure below shows that you are in Alpha Mode. To exit Alpha Mode, simply press the Alpha key again.

Special KeysThere are a few keys on the Titan that behave differently, depending on if you are in the system or application software. These keys include the Insert, Escape, and Cursor, or Turn, keys.

Insert KeyThe Insert key is only active in the system software.

ESC KeyIn the system software, the ESC key is used like a normal ESC key on any computer keyboard. You can use it to exit or cancel most of the dialog boxes, so you do not need to press the X button in the upper right corner of the dialog boxes.

In the SMI program, the ESC key is used the same as the ON key on the HP48. Pressing the ESC key will cancel the current operation. If there are numbers on the stack, pressing the ESC key will clear the stack.

� Sometimes the SMI program will say to press the ON key. In these cases, you should press the ESC key instead.

tartedPowerTo get to the Power Properties window, click on the Start icon to start the Explorer. Select Control Panel and click on the Power icon. This displays the number of hours the battery has left. The Power Off tab in the Power Properties dialog box allows you to control how long a period of no keypress passes before the screen turns off, and how long before the Titan shuts off. The Warning tab determines what level of battery weakness is reached before the Battery LED turns on.

Automatic ShutoffYou generally do not have to worry about turning off the Titan to save the battery. If the Titan remains inactive for more than 10 minutes, it turns off automatically. The Titan saves the exact status of your application program and data before turning off. Refer to Power on page 11 for more information on changing the automatic shutoff setting.

The Titan is turned off when the display is empty and the keyboard does not beep when a key is pressed. To restart, use the normal start-up procedure. Once restarted, you can resume your task where you left off.

Charging the Titan BatteryCurrently, the Titan units are charged using a special split serial cable. The cable connects to your serial port on your PC for communications. The long end has a LEMO adapter that inserts into the Titan. The shorter end attaches to the charger. The charger and the computer are always connected, so you can just leave the Titan plugged in after you have transferred your information to easily charge it back up.

� The serial connection does not need to be connected to a computer for the Titan to receive a charge.

The Titan’s Battery Status Indicator turns red in the first five seconds, indicating that charging is in progress, and becomes green when the full charge is completed. This could take up to four hours.

If the unit was turned off, it should turn back on after a few seconds. Processing resumes exactly where it was interrupted once recharging starts.

Calibrating the BatteryThe battery for the Titan is calibrated before it is sent to you. However, if you have cleared the Titan’s memory, you will need to calibrate the battery. The steps below explain how to calibrate the Titan battery.

1. Connect the Titan to the battery charger.

2. Click on the Windows Start icon in the lower left corner of the screen.

3. Click on Style in the menu and make sure that Supervisor Mode is turned on. If not, turn it on using the password YIWT.

4. Double click on Windows.

5. Double click on BATMNGR.EXE.

6. Select File � Start Calibration.

It can take up to 24 hours to perform the calibration.

Operating Environment

Operating TemperatureThe recommended temperature range within which the Titan may be used is from -20 degrees Celsius to +50 degrees Celsius (-22 degrees Fahrenheit to +122 degrees Fahrenheit).

A short exposure to temperatures lower or higher than these could possibly make the screen very dark or light until the unit returns to the suggested temperature range.

Long exposure to temperatures below -40 degrees Celsius (-40 degrees Fahrenheit) may damage the screen. Prolonged exposure to temperatures above +60 degrees Celsius (+140 degrees Fahrenheit) damages the main battery and above +70 degrees Celsius may damage the unit (+158 degrees Fahrenheit).

Rain and Water ResistanceThe Titan can withstand exposure to rain without the ingress of water. It is designed to withstand occasional immersions. The unit floats, making it easy to retrieve when dropped in water.

These characteristics can be impaired if the battery compartment or the PC-Card doors are improperly closed or if their gaskets have deteriorated.

tartedResistance to Shock

The Titan is designed to withstand shock and accidental drops from up to two meters (six feet) onto a hard surface within the fully specified temperature range.

It is obvious that these situations should be avoided as much as possible.

Electromagnetic ResistanceThe Titan works well in most common environments involving electromagnetic fields such as when near power transmission lines, electric motors, transformers, compressors, low power RF transmitters, etc. Performance can be degraded when using a communication cable, a peripheral, or a battery charger under these conditions.

Titan Operating SoftwareThe Titan uses Microsoft Windows CE as its main operating software. When you turn on the Titan, the screen in Figure 1-7 below displays.

To start the Explorer interface of the operating software, click on the Windows Start icon in the lower left corner of the screen.

Figure 1-7 Main Titan Screen


When you click on the Windows Start icon, the Explorer interface displays, as shown in Figure 1-8 below. All commands in the Windows CE software can be found in the menus at the top of the screen. To open a folder or file in the Explorer, double click on it.

How to Set Supervisor ModeWhen you first receive the Titan, or if the Titan is reset, the default mode is Standard Mode. This mode gives you the fewest options. The most common mode to work in while in the Titan is the Supervisor Mode. To set Supervisor Mode, follow the instructions below.

1. Click on the Start icon in the lower left corner of the screen.

2. Select Style from the menu.

3. Select Supervisor Mode.

4. Type �� for the password.

Option FunctionAuthentic 48 Speed

If this option is toggled on, the emulator will try to match the speed of the 48. This is generally only useful for programs that do not work correctly at a faster speed. If this option is toggled on and the emulator seems to be running slow, toggle off this option.

Size of Port 2 Card

This drop list allows you choose the size of the virtual RAM card in PORT 2 of the emulator. You can select from the following sizes: 256K, 512K, 1M, and 2M. You should use the largest size that disk space permits. A larger virtual RAM card allows you to store more data (more points). The file that represents the RAM card is exactly twice as large as the as RAM it allows (a 1M card takes up 2M of disk space, a 2M card takes up 4M).

Wire This option allows you to map a physical serial port on the unit to the virtual wire port of the HP48 GX. Set this to Disabled if you do not want the emulator to use a wire serial port.

Flow Control If this option is toggled on, the RTS serial port line is enabled.

Force baud rate to

Toggle this option on if you want to override the internal HP48 GX baud rate and force it to a different baud rate. This is useful if you need to communicate with a specific instrument/device that does not work with baud rates of 9600 or below. Make sure this option is not toggled on if you want the emulator to control the baud rate.

New Card

The New Card command creates a new empty virtual RAM card (port2). After selecting this menu item, you are prompted to save the existing RAM card. You should select a directory other than in the \STORAGE CARD\ directory or its subdirectories if you are using an 8 Meg storage card, because the program will be consuming most of that memory. It is recommended the you either save it to the root directory, “\,” or create a subdirectory under the root directory and save it there. If you cancel while saving the RAM card, the entire operation will be canceled and a new RAM card will not be created. This is done to prevent accidental loss of data.

Save Card

The Save Card command saves the current RAM card to a file. This allows you to save the state of your RAM card, and load it back later. See New Card above for information on where to save the file.

OverviewThe Field Exchange part of the emulator converts the selected jobs to ASCII and sends them to the Eagle Point Field Exchange server or the reverse process. Your office is then able to use a standard Web browser or FTP client to download and upload files using your ISP. Connection from the field is done via an 800 number through a land line, cell phone, or acoustic coupler.

Sending JobsUsers can select the different file types (Coor, Raw, Chains, Backup, etc.) and multiple jobs to send. All the jobs in the current Titan Card file are listed with a toggle box. Multiple jobs can be selected to send at the same time. If the file that was being sent to the Field Exchange server already exists on the server, the program reacts according to the options set in the options window (Auto Rename, Prompt Rename, Replace).

When the Send button is clicked on, the Titan dials the 800 number, connects to the Field Exchange server, and starts transferring the files. The Field Exchange Transfer Progress dialog box lets you choose what to do when the transfer is finished.

Get DataWhen the Get option is selected, the 800 number is dialed, the Field Exchange connection is made, and the files available for importing into the Titan are shown. Valid files for importing are Coordinates, Chains, Random Point files, and Job Backups. Each file has a toggle box to toggle on the options to be imported. Chains are prefixed with the name of the job they are associated with. When a job is selected, the chains in that job are automatically selected too. The job prefix is removed from the chain as it is put into the SMI program.

If the file being imported to the Titan already exists on the Titan, the program reacts according to the options set in the options window (Auto Rename, Prompt Rename, Replace, Merge Ignore, Merge Replace).

� Files may be merged in such a way on the Titan but not on the Field Exchange Server.

Figure 3-3 Get Data From Internet Dialog Box


SetupThe Field Exchange Setup dialog box contains all the options for sending and receiving job data. Notice that the data directory on the Field Exchange server can be changed, allowing for different sets of jobs for different crews.

How to Download Data Transferred with Field Exchange

Data transferred with the Field Exchange feature of the Titan is stored on the Internet on an FTP (File Transfer Protocol) server. This is a very common way to transfer and store files on the Internet. You must have an active Field Exchange account with us to be able to use this feature. We manage the accounts by assigning a username and password to each Titan. When performing the Field Exchange on the Titan, the username and password are used automatically, so you never have to type them.

After you have transferred some files, you can download the data from any computer that is connected to the Internet and has a Web browser installed. You may also use an FTP client. An FTP client will let you do more things, because Web browsers tend to limit what you can do with the FTP server. To be able to log in and download the data, either with a Web browser or an FTP client, you must know the username and password of your Titan.

Determining the Username and Password Each Titan has a unique username and password. To determine the Username and Password of your Titan, navigate to the \STORAGE CARD\EMU48CE directory and double click on the SETUP.EXE file. This displays the username and password of the unit.

� The username and password always use lower case letters.

� The username is the same as the serial number, which can be found on the back of the unit.

Figure 3-5 Titan Update Dialog Box


Using a Web BrowserOnce you know the username and password of the Titan, you can log in and manage the files from a Web browser. You must type a specially formatted URL to make this work.

Use the format below when typing your information in the web browser:

��

Replace username and password with the username and password assigned to your Titan. Be sure to use all punctuation as shown above. Once you are logged in, you should see all of your files. Each Web browser is different in how you manage the files (download, rename, delete, etc.).

� If you are using Microsoft Windows Explorer, you may need to download the latest version.

Using Field Exchange ClientWhen using an FTP client, you need to know several things in order to log in.

1. The host address is ftp.smi.com.

2. The port is 21 (standard).

3. The username and password fields should use the username and password from the Titan. (Anonymous access will not allow you to see your files).

TroubleshootingThe following is a list of operations that can be performed if something is wrong with your Titan. They should be performed in order, because each successive step will cause more data loss than the previous step.

Resetting the SMI ProgramIf the Titan seems “frozen” or will not start as usual, you should follow the steps below before trying a more drastic method. This will not affect job data and any settings loss will be minimal.

1. Start the SMI program if it is not running.

2. Select File � Reset Calculator.

Clearing the SMI Program’s Internal MemoryClearing the internal memory should only be performed if resetting the SMI program does not work. This clears the internal memory (port 0) of the SMI program. You will not lose job data, but you will lose some internal settings.

1. Start the SMI program if it is not running.

2. Select File � Clear Calculator.

If you cannot start the SMI program, the same effect can be achieved by deleting the “DEFAULT.E48” file that is located in the INSTALL directory.

Resetting the TitanIf the Titan happens to “freeze” or lock up and will not let you exit the operation that you were trying to perform, the device may need to be reset.

To reset the Titan, press and hold the F1, 0, and 9 keys down at the same time for five seconds until the screen goes blank.

If you were running the SMI program when you reset the Titan, you may need to reset the program. See Resetting the SMI Program above.

GPS Equipment SetupTo setup the GPS equipment, put the base antenna on a tripod over a known or unknown point. Connect the cables between the antenna, receiver, radio, and batteries. Turn on the receiver so it can begin the process of finding the satellites while you set up the rover receiver.

Mount the rover antenna on a prism pole and connect the cables between the antenna, receiver, radio, and batteries. Turn on the receiver so it can begin the process of finding the satellites while you set up the data collector.

For specific instructions for your type of receiver, see Appendix A: GPS Drivers, which begins on page 37.

Data Collector SetupTo set up the data collector, follow the steps below:

1. Press Z-[GPS], then using the Softkey menu in the display, press {OPT} to get in the GPS Options menu.

2. Press the first softkey labeled {SPCS} and enter the State Plane zone you are in.

The format to use is the state abbreviation followed by the zone abbreviation if there is more than one zone. Examples of valid entries are: ALE (Alabama East), CA3 (California 3), UTS (Utah South), TXNC (Texas North Central), and SC (South Carolina). A space can be entered between the state and zone if desired (i.e., AL E, CA 3, UT S, TX NC, SC.) See State Plane Zones on page 74 for a complete list.

3. Select whether you are using State Plane coordinates or local coordinates using the SPC/LOCAL toggle key.

Measurements that exceed the tolerances will be rejected with an error message.

4. To change the default values for quality and position tolerances, press TOL.

5. Press Enter to leave the quality at 5.

6. Enter the HDOP and VDOP tolerances and press Enter. See Glossary of GPS Terms on page 74 for an explanation of Quality, HDOP, and VDOP.

7. If you are not using Geoid files and you are using State Plane elevations, enter the geoid separation using the GEOID soft key.

You can find your local Geoid separation at the website http://www.ngs.noaa.gov/cgi-bin/GEOID_STUFF/geoid99_prompt1.prl.

8. Press INST and select the type of receiver you have (i.e., JAVAD).

PS

For specific instructions for your type of receiver, see the Appendix A: GPS Drivers, which begins on page 37.

9. Turn on elevations by pressing the [RED] 3-[EL] keys. Turn on raw data by pressing the [RED] 2-[RAW] keys.

10. If your coordinates are in meters, switch modes by pressing B-[CHG] {NEXT} {MODE} and the {FEET/METR} toggle key.

11. Enter antennae heights of the base and rover using the {HI} and {HROD} keys in the SETUP menu.

When measuring the antennae heights, use the method recommended by the GPS equipment manufacturer.

LocalizationLocalization is the process of orienting to a local or state plane coordinate system. How to establish a GPS orientation depends on whether you are using a local coordinate system or a State Plane Coordinate System (SPCS). When a particular step only applies to a local system or State Plane Coordinate System, it will be started with (Local) and (SPCS) respectively.

1. Connect the data collector to the base receiver.

2. Start the instrument position screen by pressing the [BROWN] SP-[POS] keys.

Information about the current position and accuracy will continuously update on the screen. Make sure there are plenty of satellites in view and that the accuracy is good. You should have at least five satellites and the HDOP and VDOP should be below 2. Accuracy should improve with time.

3. (SPCS) The base antenna should be set up on a known SPCS point with a good elevation. Press {BASE} in the [GPS] menu and enter the point number. If starting a new SPCS job with no known points, use point number 0 and a new point will be created.

� Be aware that if an autonomous point is created, the job will not be on the true SPCS coordinates.

(Local) If the base is set up on a known point or the first point of a new job, enter the point number and press {BASE}. If you will orient to local points later using the rover, enter a point number of 0. If a point number of 0 is entered, a point will be stored at the base in SPCS coordinates.

4. After pressing {BASE}, you should turn on the base radio.

If the settings and connections at the base are correct, you will see the transmit light on the base start blinking.


5. Turn on the rover radio.

You should see the receive light blinking on the rover radio as the data from the base is being sent.

6. Connect the data collector to the rover receiver. Press {ROVER} in the GPS menu.

7. Start the instrument position screen and check the accuracy as in step 2. Do not continue unless the quality is 5.

Problems that can cause low quality include insufficient number of satellites, bad radio link to base, or insufficient time to acquire an RTK fixed solution. RMS values should be below two centimeters.

8. (SPCS) You are ready to use Stake to check some points to verify your localization. Skip the rest of the steps.

(Local) If this is the first point in a new job, you are ready to survey. Otherwise, continue with step nine.

9. If 0 was entered for the base point number, occupy the first reference point with the rover and press {REF1}. Enter the point number of the reference point and press Enter.

10. Occupy the second reference point with the rover and press {REF2}. Enter the point number of the reference point and press Enter.

The best results will happen when the reference points are at the far edges of the job.

11. If you want to use a third point to establish a sloped plane approximation of the Geoid, you should have a value of 0 in the Geoid Separation variable in the GPS Options menu. Occupy the reference point with the rover and press REF3 on the second page of the GPS menu. Type the point number of the reference point and press Enter.

For best results the point should be away from the other two reference points.

12. If you do not want to use the elevations of {REF1} and {REF2} to establish the vertical localization, occupy a benchmark point with the rover and press H-[BMRK] (Benchmark). Type the point number and press Enter.

Verifying the GPS SetupIf on a new job, occupy a point with the rover and take a sideshot by pressing the K-[SIDS] key. For more information about Sideshot, see GPS Functions on page 71. If there are existing points you can check, use the Stake function to check accuracy. Refer to Stake on page 71 for more information.

GPS Functions

OccupyG-[SETUP] {OCPY} Key

After localization, the point used for {BASE} or {REF1} is the occupied point. Stakeout directions such as go/com left/right will be relative to the occupied point. The distance shown after a sideshot is stored is from the occupied point. The occupied point can be changed to any point you choose if you would prefer a different frame of reference. For example, if a point stored at a building corner is easier to see than the first reference point, occupy that point.

GPS Status Screen[BROWN] SP-[POS] Key

The GPS screen shows a live update of the current position, number of satellites, percentage of radio link quality, position quality (5 is RTK float), HDOP, VDOP, horizontal RMS, and vertical RMS. The GPS Status screen does not change the current menu. When any key is pressed, the status screen will disappear and the key is executed.

SideshotK-[SIDS] Key

Occupy a point with the rover antenna and take a sideshot by pressing the K-[SIDS] key. If the position from the receiver is within the tolerances, the point will be stored. If one of the tolerances is exceeded, the data collector will beep and show the value that is bad. The Titan will continue to try to collect the position and show the bad value until a good position is collected.

StakeP-[STAKE] Key

Follow the instructions in the Version 6 manual, starting on page 5-2.

Construction StakeJ-[CONST-V] Key


Follow the instructions in Chapter 7 of the Version 6 manual.

Graphical StakeoutTab in the Realtime Stake F-key menu.

Press the F in the lower right corner of screen and select the Realtime Stake menu from the popup window. Use the FSPT F-key to enter a point number to stake. Orient the top of the data collector so that it is pointing toward the occupied point. Press GPSTK and the stakeout data will be displayed. If the point being staked is far away, a line will point from the center toward the point to be staked. When the point is within 10 meters, a plus symbol in the center of the screen represents the rover and a circle represents the point being staked. When the point is within one meter, the scale changes to one centimeter per pixel. Press ESC to exit the graphical stakeout menu.

If no point is on stack, NXTP (Next Point) searches a random point file for the closest point to the last shot and gives go/come. If a point is on stack, it gives go/come to that point from the last shot. If two points are on stack, NXTP searches a range of points for the one closest to the last shot and gives go/come.

If several points are to be staked, you can select EDIT from the RPTS menu and enter the point numbers or range of points separated by a period to stake. See PC A-115 of the Version 6 manual for more details on using the random point file. After entering the points in the random point file, FSNXT (Foresight Next Random Point) and FSPRV (Foresight Previous Random Point) can be used to walk through the points in the random point file instead of entering one point at a time in FSPT.

Storing a Known GPS Position to a PointTo convert known latitude, longitude, and ellipsoid height to a coordinate and store to a point, press GPS and the softkeys UTIL and then LL2PT. Enter latitude, longitude, and height and press ENTER. The point is stored using the current localization.

Term DefinitionHDOP Horizontal Dilution of Precision

Quality In the SMI GPS software, quality refers to the type of location solution the receiver has calculated. There are five possible values:

1 – Autonomous position: The base always has a quality of 1. If the rover has a quality of one then the rover is probably not receiving data from the base.

2 – Code Differential Mode: Does not apply to RTK mode.

3 – RTK positioning with codes: Not a good RTK position.

4 – RTK positioning with float integers: Not a survey grade position.

5 – RTK positioning with fixed integers. A good position has been calculated.

If your ISP is a long distance call from your current location, long distance charges will apply for the duration of the call.

The Titan uses an email client by Microsoft called Pocket Inbox. After everything is configured, you must launch Pocket Inbox to send and receive email.

How to Make a Remote Networking ConnectionThis step is only required if you want to be able to send email from the Titan. You may use our remote networking connection that uses an 800 number to receive email, but not to send email. You must make a remote networking connection to your ISP if you want to both send and receive email.

Pocket Inbox does not support outgoing email authentication, so you cannot dial into our dial-up number to send email, since most email hosts deny anonymous third party email relays in an effort to prevent spamming.

Before completing this section, you will need to know:

� The ISP’s phone number

� Your Username and Password for the ISP

To create a remote networking connection, follow the steps below.

1. Connect the PCMCIA modem card to the Titan. Connect the phone cable to the PCMCIA modem card and to a phone jack.

2. Make sure that you are in Supervisor Mode. Navigate to the root directory in Explorer by clicking on the Up Arrow a few times. Double click on the Windows folder. If the Windows folder cannot be found, verify that Supervisor Mode is enabled.

This file launches the remote networking application that allows you to manage remote networking connections. We will use this program to create a connection that will dial your ISP.

4. Double click on the Make New Connection icon.

The Make New Connection dialog box displays.

5. In the text field, type the name of this connection.

The name can be anything as long as you remember it, because you must select this connection later when configuring the email client program.

6. Choose the Dial-Up Connection option.

7. Click on Next.

This takes you to the next page of the Make New Connection dialog box so that you can select a modem.

8. Select the name of the modem card to use for dialing your ISP.

The name of the modem card supplied by SMI is CIRRUS_LOGIC_56K__MODEM_CL_M. If you do not see any modems other than Hayes compatible modems, you should turn off the Titan, reinsert the modem card at the top of the Titan, turn the Titan back on, and repeat this step.

9. After you have chosen a modem card, click on Next.

This will take you to the next page of the Make New Connection dialog box so that you can type the phone number of the ISP.

10. Leave the Country code edit field set to 1.

11. The factory supplied default Area code field will be different than the area code of your ISP, so replace the Area code edit field with the area code of the ISP’s dial-up number.

12. Type the ISP’s dial-up number in the Phone number edit field. It is OK to use a dash here, but not required.

13. Click on Finish.

The Make New Dial-Up Connection dialog box (Figure D-6 on page 81) closes and you should see a new connection in the list with the name that you gave it.

14. Double click on the newly created connection.

This displays the Dial-Up Connection dialog box, allowing you to type in your username and password for the ISP.

15. Fill in the User and Password edit fields.

These are usually case sensitive, depending on the ISP.

16. Leave the Domain edit field blank unless you know that your ISP requires it.

17. Toggle on the Save password option if you do not want to retype the password every time you dial out.

18. Near the bottom, the dialog box indicates which phone number it will dial when attempting a connection. Take a close look at the phone number, and if this number looks invalid, click on the Dial Properties button.

The Dialing Properties dialog box allows you to select the location you are dialing from. You should create a new dialing location for every location you will dial from (especially if the area code is different).

19. Click on the New button to create a new location.

20. Change the Area code edit field to reflect the area code you will be dialing from.

This is important because the default area code from the manufacturer will be different from your actual area code.

21. Make sure that the Location edit field is set the your current location and that the area code listed reflects the actual area code of the location you are dialing from.

This is important because Windows CE will compare your current location area code with the area code of the ISP to determine whether or not to include the area code in the dial string.

22. If you need to dial a special number sequence to dial your ISP, click on the Dialing Patterns button.

The Dialing Patterns dialog box displays.

Use this dialog box for things like adding a 9 to outgoing calls from a certain location.

23. Click on OK when finished with the Dialing Patterns dialog box to save the settings.

The Dialing Patterns dialog box closes and the Dialing Properties dialog box redisplays (Figure D-9 on page 83).

24. Click on OK on the Dialing Properties dialog box (Figure D-9 on page 83) when finished to save the settings and return to the Dial-Up Connection dialog box (Figure D-8 on page 82).

You are ready to test the connection.

25. Make sure the cable is plugged into the modem card and the other end of the cable is plugged into a phone outlet. Click on Connect on the Dial-Up Connection dialog box (Figure D-8 on page 82).

The system dials to connect to your ISP. Status information is displayed on a status window as it attempts to dial your ISP. Any errors that occur are reported. You may or may not hear the dial tone and number tones being dialed as it dials, depending on which modem card is used.

When you see the status window show “Connected” and hear the distinct sound when it connects, you have successfully connected to your ISP. An icon displays in the system tray that looks like a computer, a PDA, and a phone connected via a wire. You may click on the Hide button on the status window to make it disappear.

Once you have established that this connection will dial your ISP, you are ready to begin configuring Pocket Inbox.

26. To disconnect, click on the Remote Networking icon in the system tray.

The status window appears.

27. Click on the Disconnect button to disconnect from your ISP.

28. Close the remnet.exe program by clicking on the X in the upper right corner or by selecting File � Close.

How to Launch Pocket InboxTo start the Pocket Inbox program, follow the steps below.

If any of the folders or icons cannot be found, verify that Supervisor Mode is enabled. If Supervisor Mode is enabled and you still do not see the folders, then Pocket Inbox is not installed.

How to Configure Pocket InboxBefore you set up Pocket Inbox, you will need to know some configuration information from your existing email account.

You will need to know:

� Type of incoming email server (POP3 and IMAP4 are supported)

� Username of email account

� Password of email account

� Incoming mail server address

All of this information can be provided by your ISP or organization hosting the email account. You can also find these settings in a configured PC email client, but most hide the password field. If you are dialing an ISP to check your email from your PC, the mail username and password are often the same as the username and password used to dial in. The POP3 type of server is commonly used by ISPs. If you do not know which type of incoming mail server is used, choose POP3 by default.
