Maxor Receiver Setup
4.
Once the receiver has locked on to one or more satellites, the STAT light
will blink green for GPS satellites, orange for GLONASS satellites, and a
short red blink indicating it has not solved a position. Four or more satellites
provide optimal positioning.
5.
Once the short red blink is gone, the receiver has a position and surveying
can begin. You should wait for green and orange lights before beginning
data collection. This ensures that the receiver has the correct date and time,
and is locked on to enough satellites to ensure good quality data.
The process of locking on to satellites normally takes less than one minute.
In a new area, under heavy tree canopy, or after resetting the receiver, it may
take several minutes.
Step 3
Collect Data
1.
To begin collecting data, press and hold the FN (function) key for more than
one second and less than five seconds.
2.
Release the FN key when the REC (recording) LED light turns green. This
indicates that a file has opened and data collection has started. The REC
LED blinks each time data is saved to the internal memory.
Tip:
You can use PCView to configure data logging. See
“MinPad Configuration” on page 2-15 or refer to the
PCView User's Manual for more information.
3.
When finished, press and hold the FN key until the REC LED light goes out.
4.
Press and hold the power key until all lights go out, then release.
External Antenna Setup
The Maxor can also be used with an external antenna. Follow the steps below to
connect an external antenna to the Maxor and measure its offset.
1.
Attach the antenna to a tripod or bipod and center it over the point at which
data will be collected.
2.
Measure the antenna height. Antennas have two types of measurements:
•
Vertical - measured from the marker to the antenna reference point (ARP)
located on the bottom of the antenna at the base of the mounting threads.
•
Slant - measured from the marker to the lower edge of the antenna's slant
height measure mark (SHMM).
