RTK Extend is a unique patented technique, not
available on any other manufacture
r‟s receivers.
Multi-Format RTK
Refer to Appendix E, Base Network RTK
Configuration, in the Sapphire Technical Reference
Manual for detailed instructions.
User-Defined Datum
Users can check the current datum (a reference
surface to be used in defining the 3D coordinates of a
position) or set a specific datum to be used as the
position for all PVT data output. Refer to the Sapphire
Technical Reference Manual and the StarUtil 3000
User Guide for detailed instructions on the use of the
[DATUM] command.
Heading
The SF-3050 heading system consists of two
SF-3050 receivers connected via a serial cable.
Each receiver‟s antenna is located on the platform at
the maximum possible separation. One of the units is
configured as a moving base and computes its
position 10 times a second using any available
augmentation signal. The moving base outputs
position and RTK measurement corrections to
the
other unit, which is configured as a heading rover.
The heading rover computes the heading looking
from the base antenna to the rover antenna and
outputs the heading and position of both antennae up
to a rate of 10 Hz. Applications include construction
equipment such as excavators and marine
applications such as dredging.
