  • The software offers a tilt verification procedure useful in these cases:

    • The user wants to confirm the tilt measurement accuracy under current installation.

    • A different pole is used on the GNSS. Since the straightness of the pole is critical to tilt measurements we recommend the tilt verification procedure.

  • To start the procedure click on IMU icon and select Calibrate IMU.
