NTRODUCTION
TriPad (Figure 1) is a simple user interface that consists of keys and LEDs, which can control and display
the operation of the receiver.
TriPad brings a new level of automation to the GNSS field operation. Its function is similar to what is
available on advanced photo cameras, where the camera takes several light and distance measurements,
adjusts all the settings of the camera, and conveys the ready status of the camera (by a green light) for the
photographer to push the button.
Behind the simple appearance of TriPad, there are sophisticated algorithms and tests that ensure reliable
data collection and recording.
