Start Survey at Rover

[Survey] [Start Survey]
When you are starting a survey at the RTK rover, either because the RTK base is already set, or because you are using
an NTRIP network for base corrections, select the Start Survey menu item. You will first be prompted to select a
receiver with the

Connect to Rover

screen.

Connect to Rover

The Connect to Rover screen is used to select a rover receiver to connect to, and to pick the format for base
corrections. The display of the receivers to select list is identical to the

Receiver Settings

screen. Below the list of

receivers, the modem type of the selected receiver is displayed.
Correction Format: Select the correction format of the base receiver broadcast. The formats available will depend on
your brand and model.

Note: If you have already set the correction format, either by setting the base with this instance of the Start Survey
workflow, or if you are reconnecting to the rover to resume a survey, then the Correction Format field displays the
format currently in use.
