Initializing The Rover - Magellan ProMark3 RTK Getting Started Manual

Initializing the Rover

Remember in this example that the position of the point used
for initializing the system is stored in the ProMark3 RTK as a
control point (see page 19). Follow the instructions below:
1. Hold the pole in vertical position over the known point.
2. Double-tap the Surveying icon.
3. Press MENU, tap Receiver Mode, then Real-Time.
4. Press MENU and tap Initialize RTK.
5. Tap Known Point.
6. Tap the name of the known point from the displayed list.
This opens the Initialization window.
7. Keep an eye on the displayed parameters while the
receiver initializes:
• Baseline: Baseline length.
• 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 connection to the cor-
rections provider.
• 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.
8. Tap OK to close the Initialization window.
9. Refer to Standard RTK: "Surveying" on page 24 to start
your survey.
