V90 Plus GNSS RTK System 1.1 Foreword V90 Plus is a new type of GNSS receiver by Hi-Target that is used for measurements. With a hi-tech, fully integrated design, the conveniently sized V90 Plus is one of the most flexible choices for any measuring task.
Supports electronic bubble calibration The internal NFC module makes Bluetooth communication quick and easy. Intelligent voice assistance guides the field operations. The voice can be DIY. The standard Rinex data and Hi-Target raw data are recorded simultaneously. Optional Transceiver UHF Radio The transceiver UHF radio enables you to switch working modes between the base and the rover.
V90 Plus GNSS RTK System The product is powered by a high-capacity (5000mAh) Li-ion battery in order to ensure it will operate for a full day. Rugged Design IP67 dustproof and waterproof Able to survive a natural 2-meter fall onto concrete 1.3 Precautions...

(insufficient storage space) 2.4 Wi-Fi password setting The V90 Plus receiver can be used as a Wi-Fi hotspot, which supports a user-defined password. (The factory default password is 12345678) Note: 1. See the attached list 1 for the Wi-Fi factory default password.
2.5 Static data collecting (by button operation) The V90 Plus GNSS Receiver can collect static data. To operate it, see the instructions below. 1. Set up the receiver on a control point, making sure that you center and level it.

V90 Plus GNSS RTK System generally smaller in the north and east, the rotation is about zero, the scale is between 0.9999 and 1.0000 (in general, the closer to 1, the better the scale is), the smaller the plane and elevation residual is, the better the result .
V90 Plus GNSS RTK System There is a process to make the current point (triangle mark) close to the target point (round plus cross sign). When the staking-out circle turns red, it is finished and meets the precision parameters. In the process of staking-out, you can also collect detail points, by the Store on the interface or store keying on the hand-held.
