• Known Point: The rover antenna, placed over a known
point, should not be moved until initialization is
achieved. If you choose this option, the receiver will
first ask you to indicate the name of the control point
from which you initialize the rover. Select a point from
the prompted list. The initialization screen is then dis
-
played (see screen example in the left column). Skip
to step 6.
Warning! This method will be successful only if the
antenna height has already been entered. If that is not
the case, the “Known Point” method can only be com
-
pleted using the on-screen INIT button after entering
the antenna height (see
page 52 and page 54).
• Bar: The rover antenna should temporarily be placed at
the end of the base’s initializer bar until initialization
is achieved. This means initialization is performed
close to the base. If you wish to use this option, first
move the rover antenna to the free end of the kine
-
matic bar and then choose this option. The Initializa-
tion screen is then displayed (see screen example in
the left column). Go to step
6.
6. Keep an eye on the displayed parameters while the
receiver initializes:
• Baseline: Baseline length. Should stay 0.0 km in the
case of a bar initialization.
• Elapsed: Counts the time since you started initializa-
tion.
• # Sats: Should be 6 or more for fast initialization.
• PDOP: Should be less than 3.
• Age: Should stay around 2 seconds. If it starts increas-
ing steadily, this probably means RTCM corrections are
no longer received. Check your radios.
• Solution: Position solution status. Should be a blinking
“Float” throughout initialization.
When “Fixed” appears in the Solution field, this means
the rover is initialized. A new button (OK) then appears
next to the Cancel button.
