Introduction 1 Introduction The i90 GNSS Receiver User Guide describes how to set up and use the CHC® i90 GNSS receiver. In this manual, “the receiver” refers to the i90 GNSS receiver unless otherwise stated. Even if you have used other Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) products before, CHC recommends that you spend some time reading this manual to learn about the special features of this product.
If you have a problem and cannot find the information you need in this manual or CHC website (www.chcnav.com), contact your local CHC dealer from which you purchased the receiver(s). If you need to contact CHC technical support, please contact us by email (support@chcnav.com) or Skype (chc_support).
2 Getting Started with i90 2.1 About the Receiver The new CHCNAV i90 GNSS receiver offers integrated IMU-RTK technology to provide a robust and accurate GNSS positioning in any circumstances. Unlike the standard MEMS based GNSS receivers, the i90 GNSS IMU-RTK combines state-of-the-art GNSS RTK engine, calibration-free professional IMU sensor and advanced GNSS tracking capabilities.
