Page 13: Static Measurement
Static measurement (1) Set up the receiver over the station to be measured with the ‘measure plate’ fixed to bottom of the receiver. (2) Measure the instrument height from the ground point to the upper surface of the measure plate. (3) Record the station name, instrument number, instrument high, date and start observation time. -
Page 14: Static Data Download
When the receiver storage space is less than 10MB, the signal red light flash, and will stop recording data; the existing data files will not be overwritten. Static data download Receiver file management uses U disk storage, plug and play, direct drag and drop download. To ensure data security using U disk memory, only static data download is possible and file deletion of the data is not possible. -
