Kinematic - Magellan ProMark3 RTK Getting Started Manual

Make sure the base is sited
in a clear area giving the
best possible view of the
sky!
When this is possible,
avoid trees, buildings or
any high obstacles in the
vicinity of the base.
Having a clear view of the
sky will allow the base to
collect data from a maxi-
mum of visible satellites,
which is highly recom-
mended to perform a suc-
cessful and accurate
survey.

Key Instructions:
1.
Two units needed: one stationary (the base) and the other (the rover)
moved along each surveyed trajectory. There can be several rovers
logging data at the same time.
2.
Survey must be preceded by an initialization phase (see page 42).
3.
Once initialization is achieved, be careful not to mask the rover's
GNSS antenna throughout the survey. In case of satellite signal
loss, you will have to resume the initialization phase.
4.
Data must be collected simultaneously by the two units. We recom-
mend that you start the base first and you turn it off last. Use the
same logging interval on both units. Rover collects data continu-
ously throughout the survey.
5. Site ID is automatically incremented along the trajectory according to
the recording interval used.
