6. Move to next point.
When data collection is complete, a message is displayed in the front
panel display and the receiver stops logging data. Move to the next point
and set up the survey pole in the new point.
7. Confirm new Site ID.
If the last character of the Site ID is numeric, the Site ID will automatically
increment by 1 (for example to PT02). If this Site ID is correct, press the
ENTER key. If the Site ID is not correct, enter the correct Site ID and press
the ENTER key. Data logging will start at the new point.
Repeat steps 3 through 8 until all points in the survey have been observed. You are
now ready to return to the office and download the data.
If during the survey, the RTK SOLUTION LED blinks YELLOW wait until the receiver
re- initializes and the LED blinks green again before occupying a point. If the LED
does not become green again, you will have to troubleshoot the system to determine
the problem. See Chapter 6 - Troubleshooting for more information about
troubleshooting your system.
TRAJECTORY RTK SURVEY
Trajectory surveys are used for setting stakeouts, or other surveys where data is
collected at fixed distance intervals. In Trajectory RTK surveys, a 'Distance Interval'
parameter is set in meters. As you traverse across the site, the receiver will monitor
the distance covered and log data at each interval set in the Distance Interval
parameter. You can also collect trajectory data at set time intervals by setting the
Distance Interval parameter to 0 and setting the Recording Interval parameter to the
desired time interval.
Trajectory Set Up
1. Verify the SURVCONF menu is in RTK ROVER mode.
From the SURVCONF menu, use the UP/DOWN control keys until the
MODE is displayed. Verify that the mode is MODE:RTK ROVER. If it is
not, press the ENTER key and select RTK ROVER.
2. Set the positioning algorithm.
From the SURVCONF menu, access the POSITIONING submenu. Select
the desired RTK positioning algorithm. COARSE will output Fast RTK
positions. FINE will output synchronized RTK positions. Either type is
acceptable. The default is COARSE. To change this parameter, press the
ENTER key and select the desired algorithm.
3. Set the logging method.
From the SURVCONF menu, use the UP/DOWN control keys until the
