    • Post-processed surveying This chapter introduces the basics of the two surveying methods. Note that all Magellan RTK-capable receivers can intrinsically be used for post-processed surveys. With these receivers, post-processed surveying can be used either as a backup method or as an excellent source of comparison for checking your real-time survey results.

    If you are using field software such as Magellan FAST Survey, you can also use the Localization function to attach your job to a local system.
  • Page 319 Precise Surveying - Field Applications & Concepts For this reason, initialization is a requirement you should constantly keep in mind. NOTE: This initialization process should not be confused with the initialization of a GNSS receiver, corresponding to the start sequence during which the receiver searches for the visible satellites in order to be able to compute its first 5-to 10-meter accurate position.

In post-processed surveys, there is the same need for initialization except that the system is not always able to inform you, in real time, that this requirement is met.

It is usually inside the antenna and often on, or close to, the vertical axis of the antenna. The phase center location is accurately determined by the antenna manufacturer after a long series of tests.
  • Page 327 Rather than performing a bad vertical measurement, it is a better idea to resort to a slant measurement, which is much more accurate, provided the antenna parameters are also accurately known and the specific Magellan measurement tape is used for this purpose.

  • Page 347 So the recommendation is to constantly keep an eye on the age of corrections as you progress in your field operations. In some of the available Magellan receivers, you can set a parameter, called “maximum age of corrections” defining an upper limit for the age of corrections.
