.

The Data Collection screen is used to collect GPS measurements and
store new points in the job.

GPS Status

: displays the current solution type, the data

modem reception quality, the number of satellites used

and the horizontal precision computed by the receiver.

When this area is tapped, the GPS Status screen (Page
R-168) will open.

Point

: is where you enter the point name for the next

point to be stored.

Description

: is where you enter the description for the

next point to be stored.

Set HR : displays the current antenna measurement and

measure to setting. You can change the antenna

measurement by entering a new value in the edit box.
This new antenna height will be sent to the receiver with

your next data collection point. You can change both the

antenna measurement and measure to setting by tapping on Set HR
to open the Receiver Antenna screen (Page R-181).

Post Process : opens the Receiver Session screen (Page R-197), where

you can occupy a point for a post processing only session. This allows

you log a session in the post processing file using an existing point

name without changing that point record in the job file.

Control : opens the Control Points screen (Page R-192).

Topo SS : stores a point with a single epoch of data. The current

position is checked against the criteria, and if acceptable, the point is

stored.

Note: The Topo SS function never puts the receiver in static mode, so
the precision of the rapid side shot will be less than a point occupied
in static mode.
