Configuring a Base

It is assumed that the ProMark3 RTK base has been set up as
explained in RTK Setup on page 11. If you want to use the Bar
method to initialize the rover, don't forget the kinematic bar
between the antenna and the tribrach.
1. Tap on the Equip tab.
2. Tap the on the Instrument button.
3. Select ProMark3 Magellan Base and tap OK.
4. Tap on the Configure Base button, define the antenna
height and type as well as the elevation mask.
If you intend to log base raw data, check on the Data
Recording option, set the recording interval in seconds,
define the media where to store the data (SD Card or
Internal memory) and enter a Unit ID. Reminder: This
parameter is used as header in raw data filenames.
5. Tap OK to enter all these settings. FAST Survey then asks
you to enter the position of the base and then the refer-
ence station ID.
6. When base configuration is complete, FAST Survey asks
you to save the base settings in a ref file (<job_name.ref).
The ProMark3 RTK will then run as a base until you exit
FAST Survey.

Configuring a Rover

It is assumed that the ProMark3 RTK rover has been set up as
explained in RTK Setup on page 11.

2. Tap the on the Instrument button.
3. Select ProMark3 Magellan Rover and tap OK.
4. Tap on the Rover Settings button, define the antenna
height and type as well as the elevation mask. Indicate the
type of position solution that is expected from the rover
("Float" or "Fixed" status).
