Setup and Survey

6. Move the Rover to the next location (survey 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 have been
surveyed. The occupation time for the points depends
on the same factors as for the static survey method.
8. When finished, press the FN key for one to five
seconds to stop logging data. Turn off the Rover if
needed.
This method of GPS survey allows the operator to reduce
the point occupation time, thus permitting field crews to
survey many more points compared to the other methods
available.
Kinematic Continuous
Kinematic continuous surveying, also known as trajectory
surveying, allows the Rover to move without having to
stand still, record data, move to another point, and repeat
the procedure.
If the surveyor knows the coordinates of the starting point,
the rover 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 survey completes, raw data collected by the
receivers are downloaded onto a computer and processed
using post-processing software (for example, Topcon
Tools).
1. Using PC-CDU, configure and set up the Base as
described in “Static Survey” on page 3-9.
