  • Use this mode when the base is positioned in a place of which coordinates are not known.

  • The base is started with the approximate position of the receiver.

The position of the GNSS base can be later be corrected in the field with Base position adjustment function.

  • Open the Start base page.

    • Base ID: the name of the base. The name of the base is displayed on the rover. The rover can be set so that it only accepts corrections coming from the base with a certain ID.

    • Code: code to assign to the point that is created in correspondence of the position of the base.

    • Antenna height: the antenna elevation from the Antenna Reference Point (ARP) to the ground. Click on arrow to open the Calculate antenna height page.

    • Log data for PostProcessing: activates the recording of raw data on the base. Recorded raw data can be used for data post-processing.

      • Logging rate: frequency for recording raw data.

      • File for PP: name of file where to save raw data.

      • File type: the raw data file type to store.

  • Click Next to open the next page.

  • Click Measure here to specify the coordinates of the base.

    • Get approximate position: store the approximate position of the receiver.

    • Get RTK position from NTRIP: if a GPRS RTK profile is used for this receiver, accurate positions of the base are obtained from the connection to an NTRIP server.

  • Click Next when the coordinate has been defined and open the next page.

  • This page allows to create, simultaneously to configuring the base, a local coordinate system on one point having just the base as reference point. If the option is activated, the local coordinates can be specified to the position of the base.

  • Click Start base to start the GNSS base.
