3.
Just watch the noise for 30 seconds or so, then grab the slider and set it so it is above at
least most of the noise. The occasional noise spike (every ten seconds or less) breaking
the threshold is OK.

Now hit end test and you are done!

Repeat the procedure every once in a while, so you become familiar with the local noise
patterns. In particular, do it when you have lost track even through the target is nearby.

tracking from the menu bar. The system will now communicate with
the station attached to the selected COM port and initiate tracking operations. If there is a
communication error a message box will appear.
System Status Indicators
During real-time surveying and replay mode, system status is reported by the System Status
Indicators (bottom of the main screen). The System Status Indicator group is made up of a Position
Signal Indicator and four baseline station Range Indicators, one for each station. The baseline
station Range Indicators have two possible states, red or green. Successful operation is indicated by
a green circle and reported range (in meters), unsuccessful operation with a red circle and zero
reported range. Using the Range Indicators it is possible to know if there are any problems with the
baseline stations themselves.
The Position Signal Indicator has
three
possible states, green, orange and red. Green indicates a
good calculated position fix, orange indicates a bad calculated position fix and red indicates no
position fix with possible loss of communications. During replay mode only the green and orange
signals are reported. See
Appendix 4: Troubleshooting
if problems occur.
