    (PPK). Function The Base Station Mono records GNSS RINEX data (or corrected GNSS position data), which can be fed to postprocessing software (such as REDtoolbox) for correcting the position of a rover GNSS device. For this to be possible, the rover must also record GNSS RINEX data, and the base station data must be recorded from before the beginning of the project until after its end.
  • Page 6: Use Within Photogrammetry Workflow

    Use within photogrammetry workflow There are five main tasks involved in completing a photogrammetry project with the Base Station Mono and 3D ImageVector Mono (or equivalent rover GNSS device). These are shown in the image below. Preparation 1. Charge ImageVector, camera and Base Station.

    Troubleshooting Interpreting LED indicators There are two LEDs on the front of the Base Station Mono that indicate its status. These are labelled LED 1 and LED 2 in the figure below. LED 1 – On/error This LED should stay on steadily whenever the base station is switched on. It is always useful to check that this LED is on, as sometimes you may mistakenly think you have turned on the base station.
