*The 'Reset to Surveying Defaults' button*

First, configure the RTK device to output *only* NMEA messages. QField currently does not correctly parse other messages such as RAWX or RTCM so these will interfere with communication if they are enabled.
309+
310+
These RTK device settings can be found under the [Messages menu](https://docs.sparkfun.com/SparkFun_RTK_Firmware/configure_messages/) through the [WiFi config page](https://docs.sparkfun.com/SparkFun_RTK_Firmware/configure_with_wifi/) or through the [Serial Config menu](https://docs.sparkfun.com/SparkFun_RTK_Firmware/configure_with_serial/).

Hopefully, these examples give you an idea of how to connect the RTK product line to most any GIS software. If there is other GIS software that you'd like to see configuration information about, please open an issue on the [RTK Firmware repo](https://github.com/sparkfun/SparkFun_RTK_Firmware/issues) and we'll add it.
