Use GNSS Solutions' Geoids utility exclusively to upload a
geoid file to the field terminal.
From a given geoid model, the Geoids utility allows you to
extract part of the open geoid corresponding to your working
area before uploading the data to the field terminal. This
results in a smaller file in the field terminal. Follow the
instructions below to upload a geoid file.
• Turn on your office computer and field terminal.
• Connect a USB cable between your office computer and
field terminal.
• Run GNSS Solutions' Geoids utility on your office
computer.
• In Geoids, use the File>Open command to open the geoid
model you wish to use
• Use the File>Extract as command and define the limits of
the geoid corresponding to your working area.
• Name the resulting geoid and click on the Extract button.
A new window opens in Geoids showing the properties of
your geoid extraction.
• Select Transfer>Write.
• Select "FAST Survey data collector" in the upper field and
click OK.
