3.3. Field Operaons
Satlab SL600 is, in default, equipped with full tracking and operaonal opons. There is no need to
acvate, RTK Rover or Base or L1/L2 etc. It can perform Real Time Kinemac Operaons or Stac
Sessions. In this secon, consideraons to perform such operaons are explained
3.3.1. Network Rover
Satlab SL600 with any part number is equipped with a 3G modem and capable of performing
Network Rover operaons. Login parameters to NTRIP Caster can be set by using either Satlab GNSS
Management Soware under NET tab or Satlab SurvCE Field Soware. Once all the parameters are set,
next me powering the receiver up, Login to NTRIP server shall be done automacally by the receiver.
In Network Rover operaon, correcon data stream is being provided by Internet from NTRIP servers.
The amount of data is relavely low compare to any other internet based services. Consequently,
any internet generaon from 2.5G (EDGE) to 4G should be ne to meet the bandwidth requirements.
However it requires a connuous connecon to provide correcons at 1Hz.
It is advisable to use both internal modem in SL600 and modem in SL55 controller with dierent GSM
operators in case of any coverage problems.
As another opon, internet can be provided to controller from mobile hot spot boxes or smart phones.
3.3.2. UHF Base/Rover
Satlab SL600 with P/N of 0201010269 is equipped with a transceiver UHF radio with adjustable 2 was
output. The unit can work in both Base and Rover mode during the eld operaon by using either front
panel buons or eld soware.
In most of the countries, usage of UHF radio is restricted and licensed. Please refer to your local dealer
for more informaon on regulaons. You might be limited to use certain frequency and bandwidth.
The coverage of signal coming from the base staon to reach to the rover staon is based on
topographical condions and arcial obstrucons such as buildings. In order to maximize the coverage,
place base staon on visible spots such as high hills or top of high buildings.
In order to meet the requirement of being mobile, a half wave omni direconal antenna is being used
in both base and rover staons. In case of long range requirements, a high gained full wave base staon
antenna could be used.
3.3.3. Stac Data Collecon
Raw data collecon for stac observaons can be done in the eld either by using either front panel or
eld soware. SL600 is equipped with an antenna with NGS calibraon parameters. Consequently, raw
data from SL600 can be processed by any commercial or scienc post processing soware suits.
