Elevation Mask: Enter the cutoff vertical angle

above the horizon. For any satellites below
this angle, no data will be transmitted to the
rover for use in calculating positions.

The recommended setting for the base
receiver is 5° (degrees); however, the
height of on-site obstructions will dictate
this setting. Collecting poor data (e.g.
through trees) at the base will
unknowingly degrade the performance of
the rover.

Position Rate: The position update rate to

transmit the position to the rover. Keep the

1 Hz

default. It displays one reading per

second. (The

5 Hz

setting is 5 times per

second.)

USER Antenna Suggestion: Create a
USER antenna type so that the slant
height measurement can be taken at the
bottom of the battery casing which is
coincidental with the Antenna Reference
Point (ARP) as shown on the National
Geodetic Survey (NGS) Antenna Models
web site.

• Tap the

(Antenna/List) button on the

Receiver window (see Figure 25). The Define
Antenna window opens. Tap New and the

calibrated Antenna Reference Point (ARP)
called the SHMP, and the L1 and L2 Phase
