Receiver Setup and
Survey
After configuring the receivers for surveying, each receiver needs to
be setup up and the receiver’s height measured and the survey can
begin. The MINTER provides quick access for logging data,
changing receiver modes, and viewing general data logging and
satellite information during a survey.
Receiver Setup
A typical GPS survey system consists of a Base station set up over a
known point and a Rover receiver set up to be a mobile data collector.
After setting up the Base and Rover receivers, the antenna height
must be measured.
Before collecting data, make sure the Base and Rover receivers
contain a current almanac and current ephemeris data (see “Collecting
Almanacs and Ephemerides” on page 2-21).
Step 1: Set up the Receivers
The Base station must be set up, logging data, and transmitting data
before setting up the Rover receiver. Receiver setup for either post-
process or RTK surveys is the same.
 Set up the Base station and its components.
See “To set up the Base station” on page 4-2 for details.
 Set up the Rover receiver.
See “To set up the Rover receiver” on page 4-3 for details.
