Chapter 1
Getting Started
GRX Utility (the Application) is a hardware configuration software
for Sokkia GRX receivers available for installation on desktop
computers and hand-held controllers.
This manual describes Mobile version 2.0 of the software.
The Application is primarily designed for advanced users who need
to configure the GRX receiver hardware, or peripheral devices
(internal, and external modems, Bluetooth boards, etc.).
The Application currently has three modes, Terminal, Receiver
Managing and Modem Managing.
Starting GRX Utility

The Application can be installed on a PC with Microsoft Windows
2000 or later, or into controllers with Microsoft Windows CE.NET
4.2 or later, or Windows Mobile 6.1 or later. Two type of installers
are available: one for PC and one for Mobile devices.
To install GRX Utility onto the controller, run the Mobile Installer on
the PC. The Installer automatically detects the mobile platform
connected to the PC (CPU, OS, specific hardware), and installs an
appropriate edition of the Application on to the controller. After
installation, shortcuts on the desktop and in the Program menu are
created.
To start GRX Utility, double-click the shortcut or launch the
Application from the Start menu. The main application window
displays (Figure 1-1).

When the Application is in Receiver Managing mode, it will attempt
to detect the device connected to the port.
2-4
Disconnecting Auto Detection
When detecting a receiver, the detecting a receiver dialog box

(Figure 2-5 on page 2-5) displays. An ActiveSync animated icon and
a Cancel button displays. Additional parameters display when using
serial transport, i.e., baud rate and flow control as shown in
Figure 2-5 on page 2-5.
Figure 2-5. Detecting a Receiver
Press the Cancel button to terminate the process.

The Application always remembers the last successful port settings.
When you try to establish a new connection, the Application first tries
to use the last selected settings. The connection is established right
away if you are connecting to the same device.
Disconnecting Auto Detection

When in Receiver Managing or Modem Managing mode, the
Application periodically checks if the device is still connected by
obtaining the receiver ID. If connection to the device is lost, an error
message displays (Figure 2-6).
Figure 2-6. Error Message Connection to Receiver is Lost
The Application then closes the established connection and makes the
tool area inactive. The Application will not try to reconnect to the

Disconnection auto detection does not work when

in:
T
- Simple Terminal mode while using any tool,
- Receiver Managing mode while using the
Terminal or Firmware Upload tool,
- Modem Managing mode while using any tool.
When using a Bluetooth connection the OS can
notify the Application that the connection has
physically been broken (e.g., the remote device was
switched off, or it was moved too far from the
controller). In that case, GRX Utility also closes the
established connection irrespective of the current
application mode or active tool.
Chapter 3
Simple Terminal
In Simple Terminal mode, GRX Utility does not:
detect a device
adjust port settings
send any data to the port
This mode is intended for advanced users. Everything is decided by
the user in this pure manual mode.
Simple Manual mode can be used for the following:
when you want to connect to a device that GRX Utility doesnt
support.
when you need to export firmware files to an inoperative receiver
that cannot even be detected (e.g., if the previous firmware
update has not been completed, and the receiver cannot be
detected in Receiver Managing mode).
If you choose Simple Terminal mode, you will see the following
icons on the desktop (Figure 3-1):

When the Application is in Simple Terminal mode,

it does not change port settings.
Firmware
NOTICE
Port settings depend on the OS. Usually the OS for

the PC remembers the previous port state, so if the
port baud rate was changed, the assigned value will
be kept. CE.NET and Windows Mobile will usually
reset port settings by default. I.e., the next time you
open a serial port, you should adjust port settings
again.
Simple Mode if the Simple Mode item is selected, the terminal

works in a similar way as HyperTerminal. Every time you press a
key the key code is immediately sent to the connected device.
If not selecting the Simple Mode, you have to compose a
command in the edit box, then press either the Send button or
Enter, and only after that the entered text (ended with carriage
return and line feed) will be sent to the connected device.
ASCII/HEX toggles text/HEX mode.
Text Size sets the size of the text (Largest, Larger, Normal,
Smaller, Smallest).
Bytes in a Row selects the number of bytes in a row, and
whether you want to display the left hand (data) pane and the
right hand (character) pane. This option applies to HEX mode
only.
Firmware
Normally firmware updating is performed in Receiver Managing
mode. However, if a receiver becomes inoperative, e.g., the previous
receiver firmware updating was not successful; only the Simple
Terminal mode will be available for use.
The firmware updating process in Simple Terminal mode is similar to
that described in Chapter 4, Receiver Managing on page 4-1. There
is only one difference: when in Simple Terminal mode, only the
Power ON capture method is available.
GRX Utility allows uploading firmware files to the GRX receiver
(GMSX board), internal modem and power board.

Receiver Managing
Receiver Managing mode is intended for configuring GRX receivers
and updating firmware of GRX1 receiver boards, internal modems,
power, and Bluetooth modules.
When in Receiver Managing mode, the Application tries to detect a
receiver at the time of connection. If there is no receiver, or if it
doesnt respond, a connection cannot be established.
In Receiver Managing mode, you will see the following icons in the
tools area (Figure 4-1):

Tools
The Tools icon opens the Send Command dialog box that allows you
to reset the receiver and to clear the NVRAM.
Figure 4-11. Send Command
Reset Receiver leaves all files intact. Resetting the receiver is

similar to a hot resetting of the computer, but without going
through a power cycle.
After a receiver reset operation, the receiver requires a few
seconds to a few minutes to begin tracking satellites and logging
data.
Clear NVRAM this command will not delete any files from the
receiver memory. It will reset the receiver parameters to factory
default values (such as active antenna input, elevation mask and
recording interval, and information about the receivers internal
file system).
After clearing the NVRAM, the receiver will require some time
to collect new ephemerides and almanacs (around 15 minutes).
Clearing the NVRAM can be interpreted as a cold reset of your
computer.

position is unavailable in the current epoch.
Code Differential (DGPS): for a Rover receiver run in RTK
Float or RTK Fixed mode unable to obtain an RTK solution
at the current epoch, outputs the current code differential
position. If enabled and Code Differential solution cannot be
obtained, enable Standalone to have the receiver output
single-point positions for the unavailable differential
positions. This mode requires the Base (Reference) receiver
to broadcast Code Differential (not RTK) messages and the
Rover receiver to receive these messages. If either of these
requirements is not met, enabling Code Differential will have
no effect.
