log in, Survey Pro will automatically detect the correction

format type and setup the rover when you start a survey.

8. Go to the Job > Settings > Post Process screen. Set a

Recording Interval

in the drop down list if you wish to

record raw GPS data in the receiver’s internal memory for

post processing in the office. Set the Recording Interval to
OFF

if you do not want to log post processing data

simultaneous with the RTK survey.

Setting up a Job

This section describes:

¾

How to start a new job with a default ground level

coordinate system.

¾

How to setup a job to use GPS with existing coordinates

where there is no map projection and no datum to relate
GPS measurements to the job’s coordinates.

¾

How to setup a job to use GPS with a defined map

projection, such as a US State Plane zone.

If you are starting a new survey on a site, you can open a new

job and enter a starting coordinate. When you start the first
GPS survey in a new job with just one point, a default

coordinate system for ground level distances will

automatically be setup for you.

If you are starting a GPS survey on an existing job site, you

can open a job file with the coordinates of your local points in

it, or you can import these points into a new job as a control
file. In this case, you want your GPS to fit to your current

locations, but there is no map projection and no datum to
relate GPS measurements to local coordinates. When you

start the first GPS survey in this existing job, you will be

prompted to solve a localization to fit the GPS measurements
into your local ground level coordinate system.
If your job coordinate system is a defined map projection, such

as a US State Plane zone, then you must set the coordinate
system in the job before you start a survey. This can be done

in one of three ways:
• You can create a job file with the office software (DXM or

SPSO) that includes the coordinate system definition
