Receiver Setup

8. Setup and Survey
After configuring the receivers for surveying, each receiver needs to be setup up and the receiver's height
measured and the survey can begin. The MinPad provides quick access for logging data, changing
receiver modes, and viewing general data logging and satellite information during a survey.
8.1. Receiver Setup
A typical GPS survey system consists of a Base station set up over a known point and a Rover receiver set up to
be a mobile data collector. After setting up the Base and Rover receivers, the antenna height must be measured.
Before collecting data, make sure the Base and Rover receivers contain a current almanac and current
ephemeris data (see "Collecting Almanacs and Ephemerides" on page 44).
The Base station must be set up, logging data, and transmitting data before setting up the Rover receiver.
Receiver setup for either post-process or RTK surveys is the same.
To set up the Base receiver:
1. Install a tripod or RTK Caddy over a known control point.
2. Attach the TRIUMPH-1 receiver to the tripod or RTK Caddy.
3. Carefully level the tripod and tighten the screws.
4. Attach any other accessories as needed.
To set up the Rover receiver:
1. Attach the TRIUMPH-1 receiver to the to the bipod/range pole. Make sure the receiver locks into place.

8.2. Measure Antenna Height

The location of the antenna relative to the point being measured is very important for both surveys in
which the elevation of the points is important and in surveys for horizontal location only. Horizontal
