close the job and quit ProMark Field.
Using the Stake
Out Function
The file containing the stakeout points is a survey file (csv) or
a shape file (shp). It may have been prepared with GNSS
Solutions and/or derived from a job run earlier with ProMark
Field. With a csv job, stakeout points can also be added
directly in the open job file using the
Add button after
selecting
Menu>Job>Points.
To export stakeout points from a GNSS Solutions project,
select these points in the project, then use the
Project>Export
Geo Data to File command, choosing “CSV” as the output
format.
NOTE: The Stakeout function can also be used simply to take
you back to the selected point (navigation function).
Follow the instructions below to use the Stakeout function:
• Set up the rover as explained in Choosing the Survey Type
• Turn on the receiver, run ProMark Field and open the job
file containing the stakeout points.
• Go to
Menu>Options, select “Stop & Go Kinematic” and
“Real-time” on the
Survey tab, then tap OK.
• Think about which initialization method you will be using
at the beginning of the survey and take the corresponding
steps:
– On the Fly: Nothing special needs to be done.
– From Known Point: Go to the known point and place
the rover antenna exactly over this point.
– From Bar: Go to the base (fitted with the initializer bar)
and place the rover antenna at the free end of the
initializer bar.
–
Statically: You will stay static for a while on a point of
your choice.
