Chapter 3. Post-Processed Surveying
Introduction
ProMark 800 can be used either as a base or a rover for
collecting raw data in post-processed surveys.
Post-processed surveys with ProMark 800 can be performed
either with a standalone ProMark 800, or with a ProMark 800
used in conjunction with a field terminal running a field
software application.
The standalone configuration is enough for both static and
continuous kinematic surveys, but for stop & go kinematic
surveys, you need the field terminal and its field software to
mark the static occupations.
Generally speaking, using a field terminal and its field
software is also more convenient in static and continuous
kinematic than using a standalone ProMark 800.
The following field software applications can be used to
perform post-processed surveys with ProMark 800:
• FAST Survey
• Survey Pro
For more information on how to use these applications in
post-processed surveys, refer to their respective
documentation.
The present chapter deals with the following three topics:
• Receiver setup for static (base, rover) and kinematic
(rover) post-processed surveys, with or without a field
terminal.
• Collecting raw data with a standalone ProMark 800.
• Downloading the raw data collected by a standalone
ProMark 800.
