Equipment
Instructions
Survey Location
Click on the Receiver Configuration Tab on the left hand menu
Click on the Reference Station Tab
Use the Reference Station Page to view and utilize the following:
Reference Position
Current Position
Average Position
The Reference Position needs to be manually updated before RTK-PPK operations. For relative accuracy, let the base station perform a self survey and load the Average Position. For global accuracy, enter the known location of the base station.
Self-Survey
To perform a Self-Survey, click the check mark next to Auto Average on the Reference Station Page, then click OK. By Default, the base station will survey for 120 seconds.
The webpage will display the time left in the survey.
Once the base station has finished surveying, scroll up the the Reference Position and click Average to load the Average Position.
For the highest accuracy to ground truth use the known location method below.
Known Location
If the operation location has a known surveyed point, the latitude, longitude, and altitude information of the point can be entered into the base station via the Web Interface and used as the reference point.
Enter the Latitude, Longitude and Height with your known location information.
This is useful, as a known survey point gives the highest global accuracy.
