Typical Setups
On a Tripod (static survey):
• Place the receiver in its field bracket and mount the
assembly onto one the tripod’s legs.
• Insert the antenna vertical extension (a short pole
provided along with the receiver) at the top of the tripod.
• Secure the antenna provided at the top of this short pole.
• Connect the antenna to the receiver antenna input using
the coaxial cable provided.
• Install the tripod over the chosen point (the reference
point for a base, the surveyed point for a rover).
• Skip to page 22 for a base, page 23 for a rover.
On a pole or bipod (kinematic survey):
• Place the receiver in its field bracket and mount the
assembly onto the pole at a suitable height.
• Secure the antenna provided at the top of the pole.
• Connect the antenna to the receiver antenna input using
the coaxial cable provided.
• Skip to Rover Collecting Raw Data in Stop & Go Kinematic
on page 25 or Rover Collecting Raw Data in Continuous
Kinematic on page 27.
IMPORTANT! Choosing the right setup before starting
collecting raw data is crucial.
Modifying the setup after starting data collection will have a
detrimental effect on the post-processing of your field data.
Please follow the recommendations below once data
collection is started:
• DO NOT change the external antenna.
• DO NOT switch between external and internal antenna (by
plugging / unplugging the external antenna cable).
• DO NOT change the tracking mode (in GNSS Toolbox,
GNSS Settings).
Not following these recommendations will inevitably force the
receiver to close the current raw data file and create a new
one, thus impeding seriously the outcome of the post-
processing step.
