Receiver Description ensure electrical connection of the battery to the HDS800. GNSS Antenna Setup for Heading Measurements Choosing the In theory, the baseline length (i.e. the horizontal distance between the phase centers of the two GNSS antennas used, Baseline Length also called antenna separation) can be set between 50 centimeters and 1,000 meters.
Page 39 Receiver Description Azimuth Offset Ideally, the antennas should be installed to generate a baseline strictly parallel or perperpendicular to the vehicle centerline. However, you may also be facing some installation constraints on your vehicle compelling you to install the antennas differently. The azimuth offset describes the non- alignment of the baseline with the vehicle centerline.
