Suggested exercise: Measure a very short baseline

You can now switch off the sensor.

Once power is off, put the equipment

back into the shipping case.

You might now move to another site

and repeat the procedure outlined in

this chapter. Once your fieldwork is

finished you can proceed by

processing the collected data in SKI-

Pro in order to get accurate baseline

results.

It might be a useful exercise to start

with a very simple static baseline.

Choose a location which is free of

obstructions.

Mark two points on the ground

which are a few meters apart and

measure the distance by tape (for

comparison later on)

Set up two System 500 sensors on

tripod as explained in chapter 2.

Log raw data simultaneously on

each unit for about 10 minutes,

using the PP_STAT configuration

and newly created jobs.

Measure and record the height of

the antennas correctly using the

height hook.

Enter Point Id's of your choice

Transfer the data of both sensors

into SKI-Pro and post-process the

collected raw data.

Compare the GPS results with your

initial tape reading. The resulting

slope distance should not differ by

more than a few millimeters.
