Configuration
The HiPer VR receiver is primarily used for surveying land and construction job sites, and to support
static and RTK applications. You can also log data internally to a non-removable SD card. These logs
can be downloaded from the receiver for static or kinematic surveying, mapping, monitoring, and
positioning applications. The receiver uses different built-in communication technologies to transmit or
receive RTK corrections, and to achieve RTK solutions using field applications like MAGNET Field or
Pocket 3D.
The receiver can be configured in a variety of ways, depending on your project requirements. Typically,
the receiver supports the following operation modes:
• Static and kinematic post-processing
• Network RTK rover as NTRIP client
• UHF/FH base and rover in RTK or DGPS configuration (for receiver with UHF/FH modem)
• LongLink base and rover in RTK or DGPS configuration
• UHF/FH modem repeater (for receiver with UHF/FH modem)
• DGPS or RTK repeater
• Precise Point Positioning (PPP) rover
• SBAS rover
This chapter describes: receiver configuration, receiver options, loading a new Option Authorization File
