Localization (or Calibration, or Local Grid)

This operating mode is used in the following cases:
- The coordinate system should be unknown or its characteristics are not accurate 

enough.

- The base station is operated on a reference point whose position only results 

from a position determination in autonomous GPS mode.

- A local coordinate system is used for field operations.

 

In either of these 3 cases, you will have to calibrate your system before starting your 
job, using control points. The use of 3 control points or more is highly recommend-
ed to achieve horizontal calibration. This number should be raised up to 4, or more, 
to ensure vertical calibration, as this will guarantee the consistency of your control 
points.
Click on the 

Equip

 tab and select 

Localization

. The screen that now appears is de-

scribed below.

Control coordinates can be entered manually or read from a file stored in the hand-
held computer. When you click 

ADD

 to add a point, a new screen is displayed (see 

figure 25 on next page). You may either enter the points coordinates manually or 
select an existing point from the pre-defined list.
