Delivering an RTK Position for Antenna #1

There may be an additional requirement you should take into
account when setting up your antennas for heading
measurements, which is the fact that your application may
also require that the receiver deliver an RTK solution of
position for Antenna #1. In this case, the absolute location of
Antenna #1 in the vehicle is probably critical and this will
impact the location of Antenna #2 as well.

Setting the

Heading Mode

• Run the ProFlex Web Server

• Click on the

Configuration tab

• Enter the administrator username and password, then

click

OK.

• Click on

Heading in the left-hand part of the web page.

• In the

Antenna 1 field, select the model of antenna used as

antenna #1. Ignore the

Antenna 2 field.

• If you wish the receiver to output heading at a fast rate

(20 Hz), check the

Fast Output option.

• Keep or change the default value (5°) of

Position Elevation

Mask.

• Keep or change the default settings for GPS, GLONASS,

SBAS, QZSS and GALILEO tracking, at your convenience.

• In the

Mode field, select “External” as the heading mode

used.

• In the

Input Port field, select the port that will receive

corrections from the external GNSS receiver (Antenna #2)

• Enter the parameters that result from the particular setup

of your two antennas:

Baseline length (in m). You may not enter this value and
instead check the

Auto Calibration box (recommended).

By doing this, you will let the receiver determine by
itself the exact length of the baseline through a
calibration sequence that will start as soon as you click
the

Configure button.

Azimuth offset (in degrees)

Elevation offset (in degrees)

Baseline length error: WIth Auto Calibration checked
(recommended), the value given to this parameter is
