you are using a rover with a radio and the base is already

Remote Rover section.

Start Base Receiver
1. Go to the Survey > Start GPS Survey screen. If you are

using a serial cable for base and rover, connect the base

serial cable to the data collector. If you are using
Bluetooth for base or rover, tap Base when prompted for
the receiver to connect to.

2. Measure the base antenna height while you wait for the

base to warm up and verify its position. Enter the
Measured

height and select the correct Measure To mark

in the drop down box. If required, you can also enter the

base antenna serial number for book keeping.

Note: When the base is on a variable height tripod, you
usually measure a slant height from the setup point to the top

of the notch on the EPOCH L1/L2 antenna. If the base
antenna is on a fixed height tripod, you would enter the fixed

height and the Measure To mark would be the bottom of the
antenna mount. If the base antenna is on top of the
EPOCH25 receiver which is on top of a fixed height tripod,

then you would enter the fixed height and the Measure To
mark would be the bottom of the EPOCH25 receiver.

3. When the screen says the base is ready to set, and you

have the antenna height and measure to mark correctly
entered, tap Next >.

Note: If you have a Post Processing Recording Interval set to

anything other than Off, the base receiver will start a static
post processing file when you start the RTK.

rover setup. If you have existing points in the job, follow
