GR10 Operation
GR10 Operation
The GR10 instrument can be operated by:
• pressing its buttons (ON/OFF button, Function button)
• the GR10 Web interface
• Leica GNSS Spider software
• or with the Leica Binary 2 (LB2) interface. Contact your Leica Geosystems representative for information
on LB2 documentation.
The GR10 instrument is delivered with default settings which cover the needs of the typical user. Use the Web
interface or Leica GNSS Spider to adjust the GR10 settings.
Operation by GR10 Web interface
The Web interface is the main component used to configure and operate the GR10. A detailed description of every
Web Interface page is included in the Web Interface section.
Supported operating systems for the GR10 Web Interface
• Windows XP Professional SP2 and SP3 (32 bit)

Web interface security
When accessing the Web interface for the first time use the default User name (Admin) and Password (12345678).
For security reasons, it is recommended to create a new administrator account when logged in for
the first time. After creating the new administrator, log out and relogin with the new user
credentials. The default user account can then be deleted.
Refer to the Access the web interface for the first time and change the default user for a step-by-
step guide.
Operation by Leica GNSS Spider
The reference station software Leica GNSS Spider provides some of the same instrument operation functionality as
the Web interface.
Some configuration settings are available both in the Web Interface and in Leica GNSS Spider. If
such settings are configured in the Web interface, and then an Upload Settings or Start is done
from GNSS Spider, these will be overwritten. In this case use the Web interface exclusively for
settings that are not available in GNSS Spider.
To operate Leica GNSS Spider, refer to the
• GNSS Spider / Remote Access for basic information.
• Leica GNSS Spider Online Help for advanced information.
Requirement
• GR10: Leica GNSS Spider v4.0 or later must be installed.
GNSS Spider Features
• Simultaneous configuration and communication with one or many instruments.
• Monitoring and messaging on instrument key parameters such as power voltage level, data storage
availability, instruments internal temperature or events logged on the receiver.
• Visualisation of satellite tracking status.
• Transfer raw data automatically from the instrument to a central data storage.
• Perform RINEX conversion manually or automatically at different decimation rates and file lengths.
• FTP push archived data to multiple locations.
• Perform automatic quality control of archived RINEX data.
• Manage a whole network of reference stations.

Software: Overview
Software for GR10
Software type Description
GR10 firmware
(GR10_x.xx.fw)
The GR10 firmware is called RefWorx.
This important system software covers the basic functions of the instrument.
The onboard web server is integrated into the firmware and cannot be deleted.
The English language is integrated into the firmware and cannot be deleted.
Language software
(REF_LANG.sxx)
Numerous languages are available for the instrument web server. Language
software is also referred to as system language.
The system software enables a maximum of three languages which can be
stored at any one time - the English language and two other languages. The
English language is the default language and cannot be deleted. One language
is chosen as the active language.
Windows CE Operating
System
(GR10_WinCE_x.x.xx.fw)
Windows CE is the underlying operating system on the GR10.
Measurement Engine
firmware (ME4.xx.fw) This file contains the Measurement Engine firmware for the GR10. This firmware is always included in the GR firmware file however it is also possible to
load this file separately should an update become available.
Software upload
Softw re for aDescription
GR10 All software is stored in the System RAM of the instrument.
A new firmware file must be uploaded to the SD card before installation. The file can
be uploaded via:
• the GR10 Web interface.
• direct copy to the SD card using a computer.
• direct FTP access to the SD card.
After uploading, the firmware must be transferred from the SD card to the System
RAM via the GR10 Web interface. For detailed step-by-step instructions, refer to
Firmware upgrade step-by-step.
Leica GNSS Spider can also be used to install the firmware. Loading the firmware to
the SD card and installing it on the instrument is done in one step when using
GNSS Spider. Refer to the Leica GNSS Spider Online Help for more information.
