  Reliance with FS/2 Field Operations Manual

and areas are not as detailed. The base station recording interval must be less than or 
equal to the rover recording interval for post-processing of all collected data.

Q: How many sessions can I record? 

A: The receiver can record up to 100 sessions or until the receiver memory is full. 
The number of sessions in a project is limited only by the memory available on the 
PC.

Q: How far away from the base station can I be and still get accurate positions? 

A: As the distance to the base station increases, the post-processed accuracy 
decreases by 1 ppm of the baseline length. Thus, for a 100 km distance between the 
rover and the base station, accuracy decreases by 10 cm. Distances beyond 100 km 
become increasingly less accurate because of ionospheric delays in the signals 
received by the base and rover. 

The base and rover must simultaneously track the same at least four satellites for submeter and 
decimeter accuracies, and six satellites for centimeter accuracies.

Q: What is a project?

A: A project is the collection of all the field and base data collected for the particular 
region being mapped, as well as any related feature and change information. A project 
also has a state, or set of defined operating parameters, that may vary from one project 
to another. As an example, one user of the data you process may wish to receive  data 
in latitude/longitude (geographic) coordinates, using the WGS-84 ellipsoid, while 
another might request all project work be delivered in UTM coordinates with the 
North American Datum of 1927 as their frame of reference. These values are set in 
menus within the Project Control dialog window.

Q: What is a session?

A: A session is a particular set of GPS measurements and features. A session can last 
as little as a few minutes or as long as several days. Each session must contain at least 
one feature. A session ends when a different feature file is selected, the recording 
interval is changed, the session name is changed, or the receiver is turned off. Turning 
off the FS/2 does not close a session. Sessions are the building blocks of a project: a 
pipeline asset inventory project might be called Pipeline.prj, while MondayAM.S01 
and MondayPM.S03 would be valid sessions names for collected field data.

Q: Do I have to use the default directories?

A: No. The default directory names suggestions. You may prefer to group the base, 
rover, feature, waypoint, and change files together in one directory on a day-by-day 
or project-by-project basis. However, once you set default directories for a project, 
they must remain the same throughout the project. If you change directory names or
