Power Saving

This function is intended for remote long-term deployments where power supply conservation is paramount.

Select Data Logging / Power Saving.

When the Power Off When Not Logging check box is selected, the system will shut down three minutes after a scheduled logging session has completed. At the next manual power up, you have three minutes to either turn off this feature or schedule a new data logging session before the system powers down again.

When selected, the receiver will power down to a very low power setting when not actively logging. The receiver will wake up one minute before the next scheduled logging session to prepare itself to log data. Once the session is complete, it will again power down.

Once this setting is enabled, you can also then enable the Periodic Wakeup function, which is useful, for example, if schedule connections to the receiver are required at a specific time during the day. This functionality is in addition to the data logging power saving function. This Periodic Wakeup function has the following settings:

Duration – The time that the receiver will stay powered on.

Interval – The interval over which the power up will occur relative to the start of the GPS day.
