DGPS Configuration
This option is available only with a ProMark3 RTK after you
have set the Receiver Mode to Real-Time or Real-Time & Raw
Data Recording.
This option provides access to the DGPS Configuration Utility
from within Surveying or Mobile Mapping. See this utility in
Selecting a DGPS Mode on page 209.
The DGPS Configuration Utility can also be run from the
ProMark3 workspace, or from the Utilities folder, by double-
tapping the corresponding icon.
Initialize RTK
This option allows you to choose an initialization method for
the rover. Rover initialization is required at the beginning of a
real-time survey and every time you lose RTK initialization.
RTK initialization is achieved when the solution status chang-
es from “Float” to “Fixed”. The solution status is displayed on
the Position screen (see
Position Screens on page 147) and
on the Log screens (see Standard RTK: “Surveying” on
page 51). There are four possible initialization methods:
- On the Fly: Initialization will be achieved while freely mov-
ing in the field with the rover. This is the easiest yet the
slowest initialization method.
- Static: Initialization will be achieved on an unknown
point. Keep the antenna still over this point until the rover
can fix the position solution. This is a faster initialization
method than “On the Fly”.
- Known Point: Initialization will be achieved on a known
point. Keep the antenna still over this point until the rover
can fix the position solution. A very fast initialization
method.
- Bar: Initialization is achieved by placing the rover antenna
on top of the kinematic bar installed at the base. The fast-
est initialization method.
Choose the initialization method that is the most convenient
in your case of use.
