GPS Information
•
Cold Start:
Press this button to perform a cold start on the VBOX Touch. This means the receiver will clear any
data currently stored within its internal memory. It may be required to do this when the GPS engine has locked up or
the VBOX Touch is struggling to acquire satellite lock.
When the button has been pressed, the unit will make an audible sound and a ‘
PLEASE WAIT
’ message will be
displayed on the screen which will count down from 3. The number of satellites will then be displayed as '
00
' and
GPS status will show ‘
SEARCHING FOR SATELLITES
’ until satellite lock has been acquired. It will take
approximately 25 – 30 seconds for the unit to reacquire satellite lock.
•
Satellites:
Displays how many satellites the receiver is currently using.
◦
VBOX Touch RTK units:
If using an RTK variant VBOX Touch, there is also a separate satellite constellation
count to the right of the satellites number. GPS, GLONASS (GLO), Galileo (GAL) and Beidou (BDS)
constellations are displayed. The constellation not selected within the
area within the
General
Settings
menu will be greyed out.
•
GPS Status:
This indicates the current GPS lock/RTK status of the unit: When the unit is searching for a
valid satellite lock, ‘
SEARCHING FOR SATELLITES
’ is displayed. When the GPS receiver has acquired satellite
lock, one of the following will be displayed:
◦
STANDALONE
: Position computed from GNSS only.
◦
CODE DIFF
: Position computed from assisted SBAS corrections.
◦
RTK FLOAT (VBOX Touch RTK only)
: Position computed from GNSS corrected by RTK. Float means the
GNSS receiver is still calculating the integer ambiguity, a small error will be present on the position computation
at this time.
◦
RTK FIXED (VBOX Touch RTK only)
: Position computed from GNSS corrected by RTK. Fixed means the
integer ambiguity is established and the optimum position correction is applied resulting sub 2 cm relative
accuracy in good conditions.
