Antenna Type:

[ANSSF3040]

If preferred, create a USER antenna
type so that the slant height
measurement can be taken at the
bottom outside edge of the battery
casing on the SF-3040/SF-3050 which is
coincidental with the Antenna Reference
point (ARP) per the NGS Antenna
Model. Refer to the GPS Base Setup
section above for instructions on how to
create a USER antenna.

Antenna Height: Enter the height in the

current job units, and select Slant. Take the
slant height measurement at the ARP at the
bottom of the receiver.

If working in feet, the height can be
verified. Tap the Antenna Height box.
Enter the height in meters, for instance
2.000m.

Tap outside the box.

The meters

are converted to feet.

Elevation Mask: Enter the cutoff vertical angle

above the horizon. For any satellites below
this angle no data will be processed at the
Rover for use in calculating positions.

The recommended setting for the rover
receiver is 15°. If it is necessary for the
rover to connect to more satellites, its
elevation mask can be set as low as the
Base. However, the lower setting may
result in more noise and less accurate
positioning. Be aware that solid
obstructions will block a signal, and
