Kinematic (Stop & Go) Surveying for Rover Stations After the survey completes, data the receivers collect can be downloaded onto a computer and processed using post-processing software (for example, JAVAD GNSS Justin). 8.8. Kinematic (Stop & Go) Surveying for Rover Stations In a kinematic, stop and go survey, the stationary receiver (Base station) is set up at a known point such as a survey monument, or an unknown point.
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.
Checking an OAF Note: For a complete list of options and their details, visit the JAVAD GNSS website. You can check the status of your receiver's options, and load any new OAFs via NetView. 1. Connect your receiver and computer. See “Connecting the Receiver and a Computer” on page 28 for this procedure.
• Date – the date the leased option will be disabled, if applicable Loading OAFs JAVAD GNSS dealers provide customers with OAF files. For any OAF related questions, E-mail at support@javad.com. Please have your receiver ID number available. 1. Connect your receiver and computer. See “Connecting the Receiver and a Computer” on page 28 for this procedure.
9.6. Loading New Firmware 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.
Attaching Optional UHF/GSM Antenna to TRIUMPH-1 The TRIUMPH-1 modem antenna can be mounted on standard poles (5/8-11inches thread). Attached to the TRIUMPH-1 receiver this antenna gets a part of survey pole, making handling with receiver easy and simple. 1. Connect the receiver to PC using RS-232 port.
