Backsighting
You can calibrate the encoders by Backsight in a single shot or a double shot. You can use Zebra pole or
attach the J-Target to the Zebra pole as the target to be followed by the J-Mate.
A single shot Backsighting:
• Setup J-Mate and TRIUMPH-3 at Occupation Point.
• Do Base/Rover setup TRIUMPH-3 with TRI-
UMPH-LS and do Auto position.
• Aim J-Mate roughly towards the Backsight point
• Take TRIUMPH-LS Rover to the Backsight.
• Focus J-Mate at your rover (J-Target or Zebra)
• Do "Backsight" with option "J-Mate is at Base".
Double shot Backsight 2:
• Setup TRIUMPH-3 at an arbitrary point as your RTK
base or use other RTK base.
• Setup J-Mate and TRIUMPH-LS at Occupation
point.
• Take Occupation Point with "Take Occupation Point
for Backsight".
• Aim J-Mate roughly towards the Backsight point
• Take TRIUMPH-LS Rover to the Backsight.
• Focus J-Mate at your rover (J-Target or Zebra)
• Do Backsight with "Take Occupation Point for Backsight".
Astro-Seek feature: Sun as the Backsight point!
We have added a new innovative feature to the J-Mate that it can automatically calibrate itself via its auto-
matic Sun Seeking feature.
Attach the Sun filter to the camera of the J-Mate, select the "Take Sun-Seek for calibration" option of the
"Backsight". J-Mate will automatically find the Sun and use its position to calibrate the angular encoders
automatically.
