Relative RTK Rover
Reminder: Relative RTK refers to the ability for the SP90m to
compute and deliver the three components of the vector
connecting it to a mobile base. The components of the vector
are provided with centimeter accuracy.
One of the typical applications of Relative RTK is the
constant monitoring of the position of a vessel relative to that
of another vessel or to the jib of a crane on a quay.
On the receiver’s General Status screen, the receiver will
display “AUTO” or “SDGPS” when computing a position in
standalone or SBAS mode. The computed position is
displayed after pressing
.
The components of the vector are visible in the Web Server
(in
Receiver
>

>

tab on the right) or by
programming an NMEA VCR or VCT message on one of the
receiver ports (see Web Server’s
I/Os
tab).
When corrections are received and used,

the General Status screen together with the age of corrections

To configure the receiver in Relative RTK, use the Web Server
as follows:
• Go to
Receiver
>
Position
>
Rover Setup
.
• Set
Processing Mode
to
Only Relative RTK
.
• Specify how the corrections are being forwarded to the
receiver by setting
Input Mode
accordingly. If you choose
Automatic
, the receiver will find by itself which of its ports
are used to acquire the corrections. If you choose
Manual
,
you need to specify the port.
• Additionally, in the
Other Settings
section, you may change
the primary GNSS system used (
GPS
is the default
selection) or change the
