Red lights on T1M during TCP session and lost/station connection

Was doing a T1M and LS TCP session the other day - towards the end got the dreaded station in the signal box. I went straight to the base and all the lights were red except the power light, which was yellow. My mistake as I write this was to power off the base without downloading, I guess? Seemed to lose the dpos on some ppk points but luckily didn’t lose the points themselves. Next time download before powering off? Not sure if downloading would have worked with the red light situation? Anyone else experience this?

Stn means standalone, no corrections are being received. It sounds like the base locked up for some reason. This would not cause you to lose any points in the rover, as you have found. Your base session is probably still in the receiver, you just need to download it. You should have used stop and download in base rover setup after rebooting the base. You would not have been able before rebooting. But you can still download the file. In base rover setup, connect to your base, then select the small panel below Start Base that shows the base and the rover names. Go to manage files (these are files on the base receiver). Select the file that was being collected during the lock up. It will likely be one of the last files listed. Select it and press the green down arrow to download. The file will download. Once downloaded, J-field should automatically associate the file to the base point. If not there are tools in the points screen to make the association. Let me know if I need to explain this process.

This is also the easiest way to eventually delete all the base files in the 1M which needs to be done periodically to keep the storage from getting full.

This button and way of accessing the base files from the LS desperately needs to have some sort of identification of such. There’s no way to possibly know to hit the button that displays the base and rover names to be able to access base files in the 1M. I believe it was said a long time ago that that button would be improved.

That being said though, the LS does so, so many things it’s basically impossible to put every command immediately visible on every button. For instance, take the additional actions button on the points screen. There’s about 12 different processes that the user can achieve just from that area.

I've talked to two people this week who's base quit sending Corrections over TCP. when they went back to check the jetpack at the base it had gotten hot and shut off on both accounts. Hot days like today I wrap my jetpack up in a t-shirt with two frozen water bottles.
 
Hmmm, I checked the hotspot to see if it was on but not for heat. It’s been a hot summer. I did previously download and DPOS the base data but the PPK comparison data seemed to be missing from the few points that were static. Luckily I got rtk on everything and still retained the ppk points to compare. The horizontals were tight and the vertical was off a few tenths rtk/ppk, went with rtk.
 
Roger that guys, thanks. I do still owe on the T1m but not to Javad, so OAF is good. Hopefully an outlier.

Love the system and support and look forward to the new stuff coming!
