Page 11: Chapter 1. Description And Operation
PERATION 1.1. Principles of Operation Delta receivers’ family is based on our TRIUMPH Technology implemented in our TRIUMPH Chip and is designed to meet all the needs of today’s high precision GNSS satellite receiver market. For the first time in the GNSS history we offer up to 100 Hz RTK. 216 channels of single or dual frequency GPS, Galileo and GLONASS in a small attractive, sturdy, and watertight box.
Page 12 Description and Operation Principles of Operation DELTA can receive and processes multiple signal types (including GPS C/A, P1, L2C (L+M), P2, L5 (I+Q), Galileo E1 (B+C), E5A (I+Q), E5B (I+Q), AltBOC, GLONASS C/A, L2C, P1, P2, L3 (I+Q), QZSS C/A, L1 (I+Q), SAIF, L2C (L+M), L5 (I+Q), Compass B1, B2, SBAS L1, L5 signals) improving the accuracy and reliability of your measuring points and positions, especially under difficult jobsite conditions.
Page 13: Getting Acquainted
Getting Acquainted 1.2. Getting Acquainted DELTA is a 216-channel GNSS receiver with an interface for controlling and viewing data logging (TriPad). The DELTA receiver can be equipped according users needs and have different ports on the front and back panels. 108.6* Figure 1-2.
Page 14: Tripad
STAT LED REC LED Figure 1-3. DELTA TriPad The STAT (Status) LED displays the number of tracked satellites. • When the receiver is on and no satellites are tracked, the STAT LED will blink red. • When satellites are tracked, the STAT LED will produce one blink for each tracked satellite (green for GPS, orange for GLONASS).

Getting Acquainted Data and Power Ports 1.2.2. Data and Power Ports The DELTA receiver can be equipped according users needs and have different ports on the front and back panels. Below are presented some examples of possible configurations (Figure 1-4):...
Page 16: Cables
When the receiver is purchased, a new OAF activates desired, purchased options permanently. Receiver options remain intact when clearing the NVRAM or resetting the receiver. The OAF enables the following kinds of functions. For a complete list of available options and details, visit the JAVAD GNSS website (http://www.javad.com) or consult your dealer.
Page 17: Operation
1.4.1. Software Installation Use the NetView software program for configuring and maintaining the receiver. This software is available on the JAVAD GNSS website. NetView™ is a comprehensive Windows® software product designed for controlling GNSS receivers developed by JAVAD GNSS. Note: Refer to the NetView Software Manual for full details on installing and using NetView Software.
Page 18: Powering The Receiver
A single external power supply with 5 pin ODU connector or SAE connector is necessary to operate DELTA. If external power supply has only SAE connector, Receiver-to-SAE power cable shall be used. The external power supply needs to be Listed for US and Certified for EU countries, it needs also to be a Limited Power Source and have an output rated for 4,5...35 V DC, not less than 2A.
Page 19: Connecting The Receiver And A Computer
NetView: • an RS232 cable and a computer/controller • a USB cable and a computer/controller with the JAVAD GNSS USB driver installed. Once you have established a connection between the receiver and the computer/controller, you will be able to configure the receiver and its components, send commands to the receiver, download files from the receiver’s memory;...

Open Positioning tab and set the Elevation mask to 15 degrees (Figure 1-9). Figure 1-9. Positioning tab - Elevation Mask 6. To set up the base station, open the Base tab and set the following parameters (see Figure 1-10 on page 23): www.javad.com...
Page 23 Description and Operation DELTA Configuration Establishing a USB Cable Connection • Antenna Phase Center Position (APC) - enter latitude, longitude, and altitude (ellipsoidal height) values of the antenna position. Do one of the following: • If known, type in the values.
Page 24 Description and Operation DELTA Configuration Establishing a USB Cable Connection • Confidence Level for Ambiguity – list box governs the process of the RTK engine fixing integer ambiguities. The RTK engine uses the ambiguity fix indicator when making a decision whether to fix ambiguities or not.

Activate Code multipath reduction (mpnew) on base and rover for DGPS mode. For RTK mode activate Carrier multipath reduction (mpnew) as well (Figure 1-13).
Page 26: Tripad Configuration
Description and Operation DELTA Configuration TriPad Configuration 1.5.1. TriPad Configuration The DELTA’s simple user interface (TriPad) consists of two buttons (Power and FN) and up to six LEDs that control and display the receiver’s operation (Figure 1-14). ON/OFF button button...
Page 27 Description and Operation DELTA Configuration TriPad Configuration • Elevation Mask for Measurements Output (the minimum elevation angle for the satellites whose data will be put in the receiver files logged when pressing FN). • Satellites Number Mask for Position computation - Satellites with elevations lower than this mask will be excluded from position computation.
Page 28: Setup And Measuring
1.6. Setup and Measuring 1.6.1. External Antenna Setup The DELTA receiver can be used with an external antenna. Follow the steps below to connect an external antenna to DELTA and measure its offset. 1. Attach the antenna to a tripod or bipod and center it over the point at which data will be collected.
Page 29: Tripad Operation
To change the baud rate of the receiver’s serial port, press the FN button for 5–8 seconds. This is useful if the data collector does not support the rate that the receiver port is set to. After about five seconds, the REC LED becomes red. Release the FN button during the next three seconds. www.javad.com...
Page 30: Static Measuring For Base Stations
• The necessity of resolving carrier phase ambiguities After the measuring completes, data the receivers collect can be downloaded onto a computer and processed using post-processing software (for example, JAVAD GNSS Justin). 1.6.4. Kinematic (Stop & Go) Measuring for Rover Stations In a kinematic, stop and go measuring, the stationary receiver (Base station) is set up at a known point such as a measuring monument, or an unknown point.
Page 31: Receiver And File Maintenance
The receiver requires firmware to properly operate and provide appropriate functionality. As JAVAD GNSS releases firmware updates, loading these updates into the receiver will ensure that the receiver operates at its full potential.
Page 32: Downloading Files To A Computer
When your measuring finishes, you can download your measuring files to a computer for storage, post- processing, or backup. Also, the DELTA memory holds a finite amount of files and information, so downloading the files to a computer ensures that no files are lost. You should download files as soon as possible after collecting data at the jobsite.
Page 33: Managing Receiver Options
NVRAM can eliminate communication or tracking problems. Clearing the NVRAM in your DELTA can be interpreted as a “soft boot” in your computer. After clearing the NVRAM, your receiver will require some time to collect new ephemerides and almanacs (around 15 minutes).
Page 34: Checking Firmware Version
Base and Rover receivers must be loaded with the same firmware version. Use the latest firmware version, available for download from the JAVAD GNSS website, to ensure your receiver has the most recent updates. To load new firmware use NetView.
Page 35: Chapter 2. Troubleshooting
• Check all power sources. • Check that the most current software is downloaded onto the computer and that the most current firmware is loaded into the receiver. Check the JAVAD GNSS website for the latest updates. Then, try the following: •...
Page 36 • Order a new OAF with the desired options activated to enable or extend validity of the corresponding receiver options. Contact your dealer or visit the JAVAD GNSS website for details. • Refer to the NetView Software Manual for a detailed description of options.
Page 37 • Check that the radio modem’s antenna is securely and properly connected to the antenna connector. • Check that the radio modem’s antenna is undamaged. If damaged, contact your JAVAD GNSS dealer to replace the antenna. • The specified baud rate is incompatible with the baud rates the receiver supports.
