System Configuration
Foreword
Prerequisites
Please read the following before going any further:
• System configuration for post-processed surveys is
required only when FAST Survey is used to control your
system. Configuring the system then only consists in
activating a Bluetooth connection between the field
terminal and the desired receiver.
• The FAST Survey field software is required to perform
stop&go or continuous kinematic surveys, but it is
optional for static surveys. Static surveys may indeed be
run either with or without FAST Survey.
• When a static survey is run without FAST Survey, data
collection is started/stopped directly from the receiver by
pressing the Log button (see Logging Raw Data on
page 69).
In this case however, because the antenna height will be
missing from the raw data file, you will have to measure
and remember the antenna height, and later enter this
information, for antenna reduction, when post-processing
the static raw data file with GNSS Solutions.
• Opening a job file is mandatory when running FAST Survey
but is in fact useless in the case of post-processed
surveys. In addition, the notion of "base" and "rover" as
presented in FAST Survey's Equip menu is irrelevant for
post-processed surveys in the sense that you don't need to
upload a "base" or rover" configuration to your receiver
(except for changing the GLONASS or SBAS setting). So
consider creating a job just as a means to access the FAST
Survey main menu, with the following objectives:
1. Allow a Bluetooth connection to be established with
your base and rover through the Equip>GPS Base or GPS
Rover button.
2. Check communication between the field terminal and
the receiver using the Monitor/Skyplot function.
3. Access the Survey>Log Raw GPS function to perform
your survey.
• Your base and rover are properly set up and powered on.
• Your field terminal is on and within Bluetooth range of the
base and afterwards, of the rover.
