2 Setting up RTK

2.1 Base station compatibility

With built-in support for the standard RTCM RTK data transmission protocols, the
eBee RTK with eMotion can be expected to receive and process corrections from
a wide range of base stations. senseFly has tested a series of RTCM-compliant
base stations from leading brands, checked for non-standard features that might
cause incompatibility, and has thus validated them for use with the eBee RTK and
eMotion.
Some base station manufacturers also make available proprietary data transmis-
sion protocols, and senseFly has used these to develop additional base-eMotion
automation features for some of these bases.
Please refer to the following Knowledge Base article for a list of base stations that
senseFly has validated, and which base-eMotion automation features you should
expect:

Note: This list will change as senseFly enhances eMotion, so please
refer to this list regularly, especially if purchasing a base station, or if
considering using one with your eBee RTK for the first time.

2.2 Setting up your GNSS/RTK base station

To enable high-precision navigation and geo-tagging, connect eMotion to an RTK-
capable base station (not provided in the eBee RTK package). Corrections will
be sent through the ground modem, and precise geo-tags will be automatically
stored alongside your photos in the automatically generated flight logs.
You can set up several base stations in eMotion. Once in the field you can then
quickly change base station using the Choose RTK Source menu on the eMotion
toolbar.
