SETUP AND MEASURING
Measuring with the Maxor
3
6. Move the Rover to the next location (measuring point), and press
the FN key for less than a second to collect the data in static mode
for two to ten minutes.
7. Repeat steps five and six until all points hav
e been measured. The
occupation time for the points depends on the same factors as for
the static measuring method.
8. When finished, press the FN key for on
e to five seconds to stop
logging data. Turn off the Rover if needed.
This method of GPS measuring allows the user to reduce the point
occupation time, thus permitting fi
eld crews to measure many more
points compared to the other methods available.
Kinematic Continuous
Kinematic continuous measuring, also known as trajectory measuring,
allows the Rover to move without having to stand still, record data,
move to another point, and repeat the procedure.
If the user knows the coordinates of the starting point, the rove
r will not
need to be initialized. The determination of ambiguity parameters is
carried out while the rover is moving and is called "on the fly ambiguity
resolution". Furthermore, if loss of lock occurs (such as, an obstruction
that prevents a clear view of the sky), the receiver will be re-initialized
on the fly.
After the measuring completes, raw data collecte
d by the
receivers are
downloaded onto a computer and processed using post-processing
software (for example, Ensemble).
1. Using PCView, configure and set up the Base as described in
“Static Measuring” on page 3-7.
2. Using PCView, click Configuration->Receiv
er->MinPad, and
configure the Rover with the following parameters, then click
Apply (Figure 3-8 on page 3-11):
• FN Key Mode, Occupation Mode Switch – enable
• Initial data collection dynamic mode, Kinematic – enable
3. Set
up the Rover at a starting point with unknown coordinates and
press the power k
ey. Pause for several minutes while the receiver
compiles an almanac.
4. Check the STAT light for satellites tracked.
5. Press the FN k
ey for one to four seconds
to begin logging data in
kinematic mode (the antenna status is kinematic).
