Magellan GPS PROMARK X, User Manual

Page: 9 / 188

v
Welcome to the world of accurate positioning through the Global Position-
ing System (GPS). This manual was created to serve as a reference guide for
the ProMARK X-CM and the ProMARK X GPS receivers, manufactured by
Magellan Systems Corporation.
The ProMARK X-CM receiver is a 10-channel, SPS receiver that can collect
carrier phase data. The ProMARK X receiver does not have carrier phase
capability. Both models were designed for professional applications. Through-
out the guide, references to the "ProMARK X" will be understood to mean
both models; where information is specific to the ProMARK X-CM, the
receiver is referred to as the "ProMARK X-CM."
This guide assumes that the user has a background specific to the application
for which the receiver is being used. The guide therefore does not describe
applications except where they directly affect the operation of the receiver.
The guide was designed to follow the logical order of the receiver's functions
wherever possible.
Feel free to skip the functions that do not pertain to your applications. Users,
for example, who do not use differential need not read Chapters 6 and 7. All
users, however, should read Chapters 1 through 4, which cover the basic
operation of the receiver and the setup and auxiliary functions. The user who
has no navigation experience may benefit from reading Chapter 5. Those
with no previous experience with global positioning may also want to read
the general information about GPS found in Appendices 6, 7, and 8.
The ProMARK X User Guide should be used in conjunction with the post-
processing software guide and, where applicable, the submeter guide.
