*** ## Instructions {% stepper %} {% step %} ### Setup Base Station Set the base station up in a location with a clear view of the sky.\ \ Do not place under or directly next to: * Trees * Buildings * Large metal objects * Tailgates {% endstep %} {% step %} ### Power On Hold the power button to turn the base station on. {% endstep %} {% step %} ### Survey Location Select whether to use Self-Survey or Known Location for the survey location, then update the reference position. {% endstep %} {% step %} ### Verify Status Verify the status of the base station in its application or web interface {% endstep %} {% step %} ### Verify Logging (PPK ONLY) Verify in the base station's application or web interface that the base station is logging PPK data. {% endstep %} {% step %} ### Verify Antenna is mounted (RTK ONLY) Verify that the Antenna is mounted on the drone. {% endstep %} {% step %} ### Verify Radio Connection (RTK ONLY) Verify that the Antenna is mounted on the drone, and the Sentera ground radio RSSI status lights are either scrolling green (searching for air radio) or solid green (connected to air radio). {% endstep %} {% endstepper %} --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com. ## Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters: ``` GET https://support.senterasensors.com/home/rtk-ppk-module/operation/base-stations/generic-base-stations/usb-out.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
