The General screen enables the user to view information about their OmniSTAR subscription. It provides the following
information:
• Current Channel – This is the channel the OmniSTAR Demodulator is currently configured to listen to.
• Serial Number – This is the serial number of the OmniSTAR Demodulator. This is required to be given to OmniSTAR to
set up the subscription.
• End of Subscription – This is the date the current subscription will end.
• Subscription Type – This is the subscription type (XP or HP). This is determined when the subscription is activated.
Accuracy
Figure 4-17 Accuracy
The Accuracy screen displays two buttons enabling you to choose the Startup Accuracy level at system start up. The
OmniSTAR signal is accurate, however it takes time for the system to converge and reach the advertised accuracies. Some
users do not require this initial high accuracy to begin work and just want to get started as soon as possible. Others require the
accuracy at all times and need to wait until the system is fully converged. The user must decide if they want a faster startup
with possibly lower accuracy or a longer startup with the higher accuracy. This choice affects how long the user will have to
wait until the AutoSteer is ready to go.
GeoSteer allows the user to choose the initial accuracy level they require for their needs. They have two choices:
• Fast Startup - This indicates that the operation does not require high accuracy and AutoSteering should be available as
soon as the system has a valid position.
• High Accuracy - This indicates that the operation requires higher accuracy and the system must wait until the accuracy
reaches the proper level before AutoSteering is allowed.
