Verify Base Receiver Function

Determine if the base system is functioning properly as follows:
• Determine if the base receiver is tracking satellites. This can be accomplished
by either using the Power/SV LED on the front panel of the receiver, or by
using the FAST Survey software
• Determine if the base radio is transmitting data, as indicated by the
COMMUNICATION LED on the front panel of the receiver (the second LED
from the left). This LED should flash once every time the base radio transmits
a packet of data. The default transmission frequency is 1 second. If you are
using the GSM modem as the data link, transmission will not occur until the
rover modem connects (calls) the base modem, so the COMMUNICATION
LED will not be active until the rover is set up.
The base system is now functioning as an RTK base. No further interaction with the
base is needed throughout the remainder of the survey. Figure 4.5 shows the base
system fully configured and ready to survey.
