HiPer Ga/Gb Operator’s Manual

6-8



A discrepancy exists between the differential standards used at
the Base and Rover receivers.

Ensure the Base and Rover receivers use the same corrections
input/output format:

1. Connect your receiver and a computer, and start PC-

CDU. See “Connecting the Receiver and a Computer,” on
page 2-14.

2. Click

Configuration



Receiver

and the

Ports

tab. Use

the same input/output format for both receivers.



Poor satellite geometry (PDOP/GDOP values are too high).

Conduct your survey when PDOP values are low.



The elevation mask is above 15 degrees.

Lower the elevation mask. See “MINTER Configuration,” on
page 3-17 for information on setting the elevation mask.



The modem battery is low.

• Attach an external power source to the receiver. See

“Powering the Receiver with an External Battery,” on
page 2-13.



The transmitting and/or receiving antenna may be improperly
connected.

• Check that the radio modem’s antenna is securely and

properly connected to the antenna connector.

• Check that the radio modem’s antenna is undamaged. If

damaged, contact your TPS dealer to replace the antenna.



The specified baud rate is incompatible with the baud rates the
modem supports.

The baud rate is the rate at which the receiver transmits
differential messages to the modem and vice versa.

Change the baud rate to that which your modem supports.
Refer to the modem’s manual for information.
