Survey Pro GPS Quick Start Guide 1
Before You Leave the Office
• Make sure your software is registered. Go to Register
Modules on the Files menu. Check to see that at least the
Standard and GPS modules are registered.
• If you are using a geoid model, make sure the correct
*.GGF data file is on the data collector.
• If you are using a grid datum transformation, make sure
the correct pair of *.DGF files are on the data collector.
Note: Geodetic data files must be in the proper geodata
folder. For Windows Mobile 5 devices, this will be ‘My
Device\Geodata’. For Pocket PC 2003 devices, this will be
‘Built-in Storage\Geodata’. For Windows CE.net devices, this
will be ‘Disk\Geodata’.
• Make sure your equipment all works together. Some
equipment settings can not be configured using Survey
Pro. You should set up your base and rover and do a
short test session to ensure:
¾ The base and rover modems are programmed with the
correct channels and protocols. Although you can
change some modem parameters with Survey Pro, you
need to make sure they are correctly configured with
the manufacturer’s software application.
¾ The GPS receivers’ internal data storage has been
backed up and emptied. Although you can download
and delete receiver files from some brands of receiver,
this function is not available on all receiver brands
and models supported in Survey Pro..
¾ The base and rover receivers support compatible RTK
correction formats. This is especially important when
using older and newer base and rover pairs, or mixing
equipment from different manufacturers.
¾ All additional equipment, such as batteries, cables,
GPS antennas, external data modems and antennas,
range poles, tribrach adapters, etc… are in working
order.
