iG5 User Manual
All of these errors are eliminated if you use a fixed height 2.0
meter tripod or a 2-meter pole with a Hold-a-Pole for every
static occupation.
The answer is always just “2.0” meters.
Which is very easy to remember.
Rotate your Receiver Correctly
Every antenna has a ‘correct’ rotation. It is VERY important to
spin the antenna so that it faces the correct direction.
You can determine the correct rotation for any modeled
antenna by looking up the antenna definition on the NGS
Antenna Calibration website
The iG5 should have the MMI (the button/LED panel) turned
to face the North.
What happens if you don’t rotate the antenna correctly?
OPUS has a calibration file for every antenna that relates a
change in L1 height offset by the position of the satellite in
the sky and the XY offset of the center of the antenna from
the center of the mounting nut.
OPUS compensates for the northing, easting offset assuming
the antenna is facing North. If you rotate the antenna 180
°
so
that the MMI is pointing to the South, then the offset error is
doubled and your final solution will be in error by double the
centering offset!
Bad rotation alignment can also be responsible for making an
occupation appear noisy. OPUS compensates for the antenna
vertical offset changes depending where satellites are in the
sky. If you mis-rotate the antenna then the compensation will
be applied incorrectly.
Use the Correct Antenna Model
Make sure that you have the correct antenna model selected.
Some antenna have multiple radomes and revisions listed.
For example: the Ashtech version of the Dorne Margolin
chokering (which is a replacement of ASH700936 which has
even more models and revisions) has 10 revision / dome
combinations:
