Localization (or Calibration, or Local Grid)

This operating mode is used in the following cases:
- The coordinate system should be unknown or its characteristics are not accurate
enough.
- The base station is operated on a reference point whose position only results
from a position determination in autonomous GPS mode.
- A local coordinate system is used for field operations.
In either of these 3 cases, you will have to calibrate your system before starting your
job, using control points. The use of 3 control points or more is highly recommend-
ed to achieve horizontal calibration. This number should be raised up to 4, or more,
to ensure vertical calibration, as this will guarantee the consistency of your control
points.
