3.7. Quick Setup Your Receiver With the help of this section, you can easily configure your Sfaira ONE Series and achieve accurate positioning for your subsequent tasks. This chapter introduces three work modes, allowing you to select the one that best suits your working conditions and accuracy requirements.
After configuration, the PPP mode will take around 10 minutes converging to typical accuracy. You can see the positioning state in the top status bar will change and remain in Converging for around 10 minutes. Sfaira ONE Series GNSS Receiver User Manual...
After the positioning state changes to PPP mode, you can then conduct surveying tasks. 3.7.3 SBAS Mode Click the satellite icon in the top status bar to enter the Position Information interface, then click Settings on the top right corner. Enable SBAS and click OK. Sfaira ONE Series GNSS Receiver User Manual...
3.9. Point Survey The Sfaira One series receiver offers two measurement modes: Handheld Measurement: This mode is suitable when only planar data is needed, with no requirement for elevation data. Pole-based Measurement: This mode is designed for professional surveying, where measurements of North, East, and height are required.
