3.Click button on the right to get the mountpoint list and choose the mountpoint. NOTE The mount point "Office" in the figure is an example. Please find out the appropriate mount point via the website of your local NTRlP/CORS provider. Make sure that the baseline doesn't exceed 50km.
Page 17
5.Auto connect to network: When this option is opened, SingularPad will connect to network automatically so that user don’t need to click start to connect network. 6.Base Coordinates Change Alert: Singular- Pad will alert when you connect with different base station. When you are using VRS, please do not turn this on.
3.1 SingularPad Top Status Bar Introduction After completing your E1 RTK setup, check current RTK solution status at the top of the SingularPad software. RTK solution status...
The satellite icon shows calculated satellites number/tracked satellites number. You can click it to check satellite map and more information. Age means the time since the last differential data was received. When connecting to a CORS account for measurement work, please ensure the “age”...

Pole Height: Typically, select the Antenna Measuring Type as Pole Height and enter the height of your centering pole. In the floating window of the survey interface, you can see the display information. The default display information is NEH and Base distance, and click the floating window you can set them as you need.

•Click to select different map types or do map calibration. SingularPad supports Google Map (Standard Map/Satellite Map), OpenStreetMap and WMS Map. •Click to jump to map center. •Click to show the all points on the interface. •Click to enter the point database and view the coordinates of the measured points.
Page 22
•Click to enter Settings interface Settings interface, you can modify Tolerance Setting such as solution limit, HRMS limit, VRMS limit and etc. and modify Smooth parameters and other Settings options. Display Info interface, you can set the display information to the floating window, such as longitude, latitude, altitude,etc.
3.3 Calibrate Point When changing the position of the base station, there will be offsets between surveying points under different base stations. Users can use the Calibrate Point to calibrate the offset. Go to Project > Calibrate Point. Add a point measured under the previous base station Known Point Coordinates, and measure the same point under current base station as GNSS Point...
Or measure the GNSS point under the current base station in advance and click to select from the point database. Then click Calculate complete the Calibrate Point. 3.4 Localization When starting a new project, if you are using the local small-scale coordinate system, you can use this function to transform the geodetic coordinates system to your local system.
Page 25
Click to add the corresponding pairs. Firstly, input the Known Point Coordinates. Then select the corresponding GNSS coordinates of the known point. Add the remaining point pairs in sequence. You can also enter the known point in point database in advance and select the input points.
Page 26
After adding all the point pairs, click Calculate. Select the convert method and the accuracy limit according to your project requirements.
Page 27
You can click Export Report to save the projected coordinate system parameters. Click Apply to apply the localization.
3.5 Tilt survey The E1 GNSS receiver has a built-in IMU module that supports tilt surveying up to 60°. The system will accurately calculate the actual offset based on the tilt angle, reducing the user's burden on centering pole at each measurement.
In survey interface, you can find the bubble and angle value showing how you tilt the pole in real time. To ensure the accuracy, please keep the tilt angle less than 60°. When the pole tilts within 60°, the built-in IMU precisely calculates the actual offset, the accuracy of which can be accurate to ±2.5cm.

4 STATIC SURVEY This chapter describes how to conduct static survey through E1 receiver and to use SingularXYZ Converter software to convert data format. For static survey, E1 supports 3 data formats: binary XYZ, Rinex 3.02 and Rinex 3.04. SingularXYZ binary format (*.XYZ) is a raw observation data format and you can convert it to RINEX format via SingularXYZ Converter Software.
Page 32
2.Options Settings interface: Input Record name and Point name. Set the Collection Interval, Observation Time and Data Format. 3.Turn on/off the Loop Record according to your needs. If this option is turned on, the receiver will delete the earliest recorded data to keep recording when the record space is full.
PC directly. In addition, you can download the static data via Web UI, connect your PC or phone to the WiFi of the E1 receiver(WLAN name: the SN of E1) and log in the web page in browser via IP 192.168.10.12...
4.3 RINEX Convert After copy raw observation data to PC, you can convert the data from SingularXYZ binary format (*.XYZ) to Rinex in SingularXYZ Converter software. The following steps give an example of Rinex convert.
Page 35
•After import the binary file, click set then input the marker name and choose the measure type of antenna height, and the antenna type is automatically identified as SITE 1 for E1 receiver; •Click convert to start convert XYZ to Rinex, and the Rinex files will be output to the output file path.
CAUTION - A Caution alerts you to a possible risk of damage to the equipment and/or data loss. Warranty Notice SingularXYZ does not warranty devices damage because of force majeure (lighting, high voltage or collision). SingularXYZ does not warranty the disassembled devices.
