6. Keep an eye on the displayed parameters while the
receiver initializes:
• Baseline: Baseline length. Should stay 0.0 km in the
case of a bar initialization.
• Elapsed: Counts the time since you started initializa-
tion.
• # Sats: Should be 6 or more for fast initialization.
• PDOP: Should be less than 3.
• Age: Should stay around 2 seconds. If it starts increas-
ing steadily, this probably means RTCM corrections are
no longer received. Check your radios.
• Solution: Position solution status. Should be a blinking
"Float" throughout initialization.
When "Fixed" appears in the Solution field, this means
the rover is initialized. A new button (OK) then appears
next to the Cancel button.
7. Tap OK to close the Initialization window.
8. Move the rover antenna from the initializer bar to the top
of the rover pole (see picture below right). While doing
this, take care not to mask the rover antenna or else you
would have to resume initialization.
9. Refer to Standard RTK: "Surveying" on page 24 to start
your survey.
