Setting a CORS Reference Station

How to Start

General
Parameters
• Open the Web Server's Configuration tab. The first time you
click on this tab, the Web Server will ask you to log in as
the administrator. Only the receiver administrator is
authorize d to access the Configuration tab.
You are allowed to change the destination of a receiver
(e.g. it is currently a rover and you want to change it into
a base). In this case, on opening the Base Setup tab, the
Web Server will retain part of the rover settings that could
be applied to the base (e.g. antenna type, etc.).
• Programming the data generated by the CORS station is
addressed separately (see Defining the Raw Data
Generated by the CORS Station on page 43).
• Click on the Base Setup menu. The Full Setup web page
opens.
• Set the receiver parameters:
– Dynamic: Choose "Static".
– Moving Position: Keep this option disabled.
– Latitude, Longitude, Ellipsoid Height: Enter the reference
position of the CORS station (three-dimensional
geographical coordinates).
(Clicking on the Get current position button assigns the
last position computed by the receiver to the reference
station as its reference position.)
• Set the GNSS antenna parameters:
– Reference Position: Specify the physical point of the
CORS station for which the receiver will collect data.
The three possible choices are: Antenna L1 phase
center, Antenna Reference Point (ARP) or Ground
Mark (reference point).
– Measurement Type: Specify the method that was used
when setting up the CORS station to measure the
height of the GNSS antenna (typically "Vertical" is
used, "Slant" being most of the time used for
temporary base setups on tripods).
– Antenna Height: Value of base antenna height,
expressed in the selected distance unit, as measured
according to the specified measurement method.
– Receiver Antenna: Specify the model of GNSS antenna
used by the receiver.
