Antenna Settings

This screen allows you to view and change the value settings in
relation to using MapSight used with an external antenna.
The GPS Antenna Offset is used in conjunction with a fixed-position
external antenna (on a pole or backpack) connected to the
MapSight units external antenna port.
The 'Vertical (m):' value is the distance above the MapSight unit
•
that a connected external antenna is located.
The 'Horizontal (m):' value is the distance to behind the
•
MapSight unit that a connected external antenna is located.
Tapping the [Save] button stores the Vertical and Horizontal values
to memory and adjusts GPS location and Laser range calculations
accordingly.
WARNING! When an external antenna is not connected to
the MapSight unit the GPS Antenna Offset Vertical and
Horizontal values should always be saved as 0.00
This example shows an external antenna mounted on a
backpack.
WARNING! To ensure best accuracy, it is not recommended
that a connected external antenna be secured forward or
beneath the MapSight unit. The Vertical offset should
always be above the MapSight unit, and the Horizontal
offset should always be behind the MapSight unit.
