After configuring the receivers for surveying, each receiver needs to be setup up and the
receiver’s height measured and the survey can begin. The MinPad provides quick access for
logging data, changing receiver modes, and viewing general data logging and satellite
information during a survey.
4.1. Receiver Setup
A typical GPS survey system consists of a Base station set up over a known point and a Rover
receiver set up to be a mobile data collector. After setting up the Base and Rover receivers, the
antenna height must be measured.
Before collecting data, make sure the Base and Rover receivers contain a current almanac and
current ephemeris data (see “Collecting Almanacs and Ephemerides” on page 41).
4.1.1. Set up Receiver
The Base station must be set up, logging data, and transmitting data before setting up the Rover
receiver. Receiver setup for either post-process or RTK surveys is the same.
To set up the Base receiver:
1. Install a tripod or RTK Caddy over a known control point.
2. Attach the TRIUMPH-1 receiver to the tripod or RTK Caddy.
3. Carefully level the tripod and tighten the screws.
4. Attach any other accessories as needed.
