RTK Implementation

If the increase is only temporary, then you should not care too

much about the data link as long as the rover continues to

provide “fixed” positions.

But if the age of corrections keeps on increasing, then the

problem is more serious as it can only result in a rover losing

the “fixed” status for all the positions it delivers. In this case,

you should figure out why the data link fails and take the

necessary steps to bring it back to work.

So the recommendation is to constantly keep an eye on the

age of corrections as you progress in your field operations.

In some of the available Ashtech receivers, you can set a

parameter, called “maximum age of corrections” defining an

upper limit for the age of corrections. If for any reason the age

of corrections reaches this limit, a warning message will alert

you.
