Example of Network Profile To add a new network profile:
• Tap the Instrument icon and select Switch to GNSS.
• Tap the Instrument icon and select Manage Instruments. This opens the
Settings screen listing the currently existing GNSS receiver profiles.
• Tap on the Networks tab
• Tap Add Network. Enter your network parameters (see below), then tap .
A network profile is defined by:
• A name
• An IP address
• An IP port
• A server type ( NTRIP, Direct IP or Automatic)
• Additionally for Automatic or NTRIP server type, you need to set the Force
NTRIP password option. If this option is enabled, you will be prompted for
user name and password for every NTRIP mount point, even if the NTRIP
table specifies that they are not required. This option is to deal with poorly
formatted NTRIP tables, where the source table says that password is not
required, but the selected mount point actually requires one.
• Additionally for Direct IP server type, you need to specify the data format
of the corrections the network delivers.
When later starting a survey, you will be requested to specify the network your
receiver will work with. Choose the name of the network profile to specify this
network.
At this point, the Manage Networks button allows you to return to the list of
existing network profiles to make changes if necessary.
Checking the GNSS Status
Checking the GNSS status of the connected receiver is recommended before
starting a job.This implies that the GNSS receiver is in real conditions of use,
preferably in an open sky environment.
Use the GNSS Status function on the Survey menu to read this information. The
GNSS status is split into six different tabs:
• Receiver: Provides additional information describing the position solution
computed by the receiver. In RTK, the
Reset Ambiguities button allows you
to re-initialize the computation of the position. For more information, see
6. GNSS Surveying on page 48.
• Data Link: Describes how a rover is provided with RTK corrections, or the
type of RTK corrections generated by a base. For more information, see 6.
GNSS Surveying on page 48.
• Post Process: This tab shows the data recording status (Yes/No), the
recording interval (1 or 2 sec), the name of the point on which data
recording takes place (only when static) and the time elapsed since data
