Running A "Stop & Go" Survey - Magellan ProMark3 RTK Getting Started Manual

Make sure the rover
antenna will have the best
possible view of the sky at
all times during the sur-
vey. This should result in
#Sats continuously greater
than 4 and PDOP continu-
ously less than 4.
Obs. Range is equivalent to
Obs. Timer in ProMark2.

8. Watch the following data on the rover unit:
• Obs. Range (Observation Range): Indicates the maxi-
mum length of the baseline that could be accurately
determined through post-processing considering the
amount of data currently collected. The more you col-
lect data, the longer this baseline.
• Elapsed: Time elapsed since data collection began.
• # Sats: Number of received satellites.
• PDOP: Current PDOP value.
9. When according to the Obs. Range parameter on the rover,
enough data has been collected in this observation ses-
sion, tap the Done button at the bottom of the screen or
press the ENTER key.
10.Follow the steps presented above for each observation
session required to complete your survey. After data col-
lection is complete, take all ProMark3 receivers used in
the survey to the office and download the data to an office
computer as described in Downloading Raw Data on
page 62. The data is now ready for post-processing using
GNSS Solutions.
Running a "Stop & Go" Survey
This chapter describes a typical Stop & Go survey in which ini-
tialization is performed using the initializer bar. (This is the
initialization method recommended by Magellan.)
It is assumed that you have already run all the instructions de-
tailed in Chapter 2. Preparing For First-Time Use on page 4.
