Rover Setup – Set Base Reference Position

When you are using a remote base station, and the base reference

position is not yet known to Survey Pro, you must complete the Base
Setup wizard for the remote base position in order to store the base

position in Survey Pro and update the raw data.
Similarly, when you set the rover and the remote base position
received at the rover is different than the one set in Survey Pro, or

when you are doing RTK surveying and the rover detects that the
base position has changed, you will be prompted to complete the Base

Setup wizard for the remote base position.
1. Choose a name for the remote base point. If the base reference

position received at the rover matches a single point in the job

file, then the prompt to choose a point name is skipped, and you

go to the next step. If the base position does not match any points
in the job file, you are prompted to choose a name for the new

base point to store. If the base position matches more than one

point in the job file, then you are prompted to select from among a
list of possible points.

2. Review the antenna details for the remote base position. Most

base receivers broadcast their antenna height along with the
reference position. However, some do not. The different scenarios

are outlined below:
