e. Enter 6 in the
EPOCH COUNTER
submenu and press
↑
+
↓
<2 seconds to
accept the parameter setting (or
↑
+
↓
<2 seconds cancel the parameter
setting).
5. Enter the site-specific information for the rover point, most importantly the
SITE.
Enter SITE into receiver via
SURVEY:KINEMATIC
submenu (refer to Figure
4.1).
a. From the main menu, press
↑
<2 seconds until
SURVEY:KINEMATIC
is
selected.
b. With
SURVEY:KINEMATIC
selected, press
↓
>2 seconds to enter the
submenu.
c. Within the
SURVEY:KINEMATIC
submenu, press
↑
< 2 seconds repeatedly
until
SITE:****
is selected.
d. Press
↓
<2 seconds to place receiver in edit mode.
e. Press
↑
or
↓
<2 seconds to scroll through possible characters for SITE
character (press
↑
or
↓
>2 seconds to scroll quickly release when
reaching the desired character).
f. Press
↑
+
↓
<2 seconds to accept the selected SITE character (pressing
↑
+
↓
>2 seconds cancels the parameter setting).
g. Repeat steps e and f until all four SITE characters have been selected.
The entered SITE will scroll by for visual confirmation.
At this time, data is being logged under the SITE entered (e.g., ROVE).
Monitor the PDOP closely (refer to “RECEIVER STATUS
(SURVEY:MODE)” on page 47). It is important that good PDOP values
are maintained when collecting such short data sets on each point.
The number of epochs left will count down to 0. (See the
SURVEY:KINEMATIC:SITE:LOG#
submenu) and the new SITE will be
proposed. In this example it shows SITE:ROVE, since the Site ID doesn’t
end with a number it won’t be automatically incremented so it needs to be
rejected (to >2 seconds) before going to step 6.
The initialization process is now complete. The system is ready to begin the
kinematic survey by moving to unknown points to be determined. If more than one
rover is being used, all rovers must perform the initialization process before
beginning the kinematic survey.
6. Move the rover to the first unknown point to be determined. Be sure to
maintain lock on at least four satellites at all times. If at any time loss of lock
occurs, return to the previous point to reinitialize the survey by repeating
Step 1.
