Pre-Setup Preparation - Topcon Net-G3A Operator's Manual

Pre-setup Preparation

Successful deployment and operation of a Reference Station system
with the Net-G3A receiver requires careful site planning, feasibility
studies, and proper equipment configuration. These factors are critical
to maximize the performance of the Net-G3A and to seamlessly
integrate the receiver into an existing network or in establishing a new
network.
Once a location for the Net-G3A has been determined, you can begin
installing the hardware and software required to configure and
maintain the Net-G3A. After determining the application, use the
selected software to configure the receiver for your application.
Finally, collect almanacs and ephemerides to begin working with the
Net-G3A in its intended application. The following sections describe
these steps in detail:
