Measure The Antenna Height - Pentax G6 User Manual

procedure lasts about 1 minute.
3. If each module led are ON (not blinking) and voice broadcast the self-checking
success (for example "self-check GPS OK" it means the modules could work
normally.
Note: After self-checking, built-in radio frequency will return to factory settings. If
necessary, please contact your local dealer to change the frequency to match your
usage.

2.4 Measure the antenna height

When we use G6 collect static data or set G6 on a known point as a base station,
the antenna height should be measured. Antenna height is actually the vertical
height of the phase center to ground measurement point. But there are differences
between different measure methods.
Base and Static mode antenna height measurement: You can measure from the
ground to the altimetry piece of the receiver, you can measure from the ground
(known point) to altimetry piece. In this situation you should select "Height to
altimetry piece".
Rover mode antenna height measurement: Measure methods of rover mode
includes pole height, straight height and slant height.
(1) Pole height, the height of the carbon pole, we can read it from the pole, then
input to the software.
(2) Straight height, straight height it's the antenna phase center height. Straight
height = the height from ground to bottom of Receiver + antenna phase
center to the bottom of receiver.
(3) Slant height, measure from ground to the altimetry piece of the receiver.
Select slant height in the software, then input the height you measured.
2.5 Sensor Calibrate
Activate tilt survey function is the first step, then it's "Sensor Calibrate". Some times
when you check "Sensor Calibrate", it can't be used. You should check
Configure—System Setting, make sure tilt survey function is opened."Sensor
Calibrate" contains "Horizontal, Azimuth and Declination", now describe them.
