Setting a CORS Reference Station
How to Start
•
Open the Web Server’s
Configuration
tab. The first time you
click on this tab, the Web Server will ask you to log in as
the administrator. Only the receiver administrator is
authorize d to access the
Configuration
tab.
You are allowed to change the destination of a receiver
(e.g. it is currently a rover and you want to change it into
a base). In this case, on opening the
Base Setup
tab, the
Web Server will retain part of the rover settings that could
be applied to the base (e.g. antenna type, etc.).

Programming the data generated by the CORS station is
addressed separately (see
Generated by the CORS Station on page 43
General
Parameters
•
Click on the
Base Setup
menu. The
Full Setup
web page
opens.
•
Set the receiver parameters:
–
Dynamic
: Choose “Static”.
–
Moving Position
: Keep this option disabled.
–
Latitude, Longitude, Ellipsoid Height
: Enter the reference
position of the CORS station (three-dimensional
geographical coordinates).
(Clicking on the
Get current position
button assigns the
last position computed by the receiver to the reference
station as its reference position.)
•
Set the GNSS antenna parameters:
–
Reference Position
: Specify the physical point of the
CORS station for which the receiver will collect data.
The three possible choices are: Antenna L1 phase
center, Antenna Reference Point (ARP) or Ground
Mark (reference point).
–
Measurement Type
: Specify the method that was used
when setting up the CORS station to measure the
height of the GNSS antenna (typically “Vertical” is
used, “Slant” being most of the time used for
temporary base setups on tripods).
–
Antenna Height
: Value of base antenna height,
expressed in the selected distance unit, as measured
according to the specified measurement method.
–
Receiver Antenna
: Specify the model of GNSS antenna
used by the receiver.
