Kinematic (Stop & Go)
Surveying for Rover Stations
In a kinematic, stop and go survey, the stationary receiver (Base
station) is set up at a known point such as a survey monument, or an
unknown point. The receiver continually tracks satellites and logs raw
data into its memory. The Rover receiver is set up at an unknown
point and collects data in static mode for 2 to 10 minutes. When
finished, assign the Rover to kinematic status and move to the next
survey point. At this point, and each subsequent point, the receiver is
changed to static mode to collect data. So, while moving, the Rover is
in kinematic mode, and while collecting data, the Rover is in static
mode.
1. Set up the Rover at an unknown point and press power. Allow the
Rover to collect static data for two to ten minutes. The REC LED
will be orange.
2. Check the STAT light for satellites tracked.
3. When finished, press the FN button for less than 1 second to
assign the Rover to kinematic.
4. Move the Rover to the next location (survey point), and press the
FN button for less than a second to collect the data in static mode
for two to ten minutes.
5. 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.
6. When finished, press the FN button 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.
TIP
Remember, if the REC LED blinks green, the
current mode is dynamic, if it blinks orange, the
current mode is static.
