5. Power-up the rover system
Power on the rover system by pressing the power button on the GPS
Receiver Module for two seconds. The handheld computer is turned on using
the power button on the keyboard. Check that all components are powered-
up. The Power/SV LED on the front panel of the GPS Receiver Module will
blink red to indicate that the receiver is on.
6. Configure rover system to function as a kinematic rover
As with performing a static survey, the only parameter that may need to be
changed is the recording interval. The recording interval is set to 20 seconds
by default. As stated earlier, an interval of 1-5 seconds is normally used for
kinematic data collection. The recording interval can be set using the Front
Panel User Interface or by the field application software running on the
handheld computer.
NOTE: It is very important that the recording interval on the rover is set to the same interval as the
base.
In addition, there are parameters that, while not required, can be very useful
in executing a kinematic survey.
