Page 38: Calibration Verification
Basic Operation 3.5.2Calibration verification In order to make sure accuracy is not strongly interfered with by the environment and procedure, verification is necessary before starting the tilt survey. Put the device at 30 degree tilt approximately, on the pole, and rotate it slowly clockwise for a week. - Page 39 SL900 GNSS RTK System Getting Started 450MHz-470MHz and provides 116 communication channels for users to choose. User uses the handbook software for channel setting Notice: Once the base station's transmitting station channel is modified, the mobile station also needs to modify to the corresponding channel, otherwise the differential signal cannot be received.
