Overview of Local base station operation
Satellites send GPS data that is received simultaneously by both the GPS in the vehicle and the GPS in the
base station.
As the base station is fixed and has been given an accurate or calculated ‘fix’, the calculated variation
(correction) from this position is transmitted via radio to the vehicle GPS which then calculates the corrected
position of the vehicle.
Correction data is usually transmitted via radio once per second and the vehicle GPS uses this data to
calculate the position of the vehicle every
⅕
th
of a second (5Hz).
For land levelling, the implement GPS can be set to calculate the position of the implement blade every 1/10
th
of a second (10Hz).
