Configuring a Rover
It is assumed that the ProMark3 RTK rover has been set up as
explained in RTK Setup on page 34.
1. Tap on the Equip tab.
2. Tap the on the Instrument button.
3. Select ProMark3 Magellan Rover and tap OK.
4. Tap on the Rover Settings button, define the antenna
height and type as well as the elevation mask. Indicate the
type of position solution that is expected from the rover
(“Float” or “Fixed” status).
If you intend to log rover raw data, check on the Data
Recording option, set the recording interval in seconds,
define the media where to store the data (SD Card or
Internal memory) and enter a Unit ID. Reminder: This
parameter is used as the header in raw data filenames.
5. Tap OK to enter all these settings and complete the rover
configuration.
Initializing the Rover
1. Tap on the RTK Initialization button (Equip tab)
2. Select the type of initialization you wish to use (see oppo-
site) and then follow the instructions on the screen.
Compared with Surveying, FAST Survey proposes a fourth
initialization method called “Static On-The-Fly initializa-
tion”. With this method, the antenna should stay still over
an unknown point until initialization is achieved. This
method gives faster initialization than On-The-Fly initial
-
ization in the same operating conditions.
NOTE: Except for “On The Fly Initialization”, the message
“Please do not move the antenna until the position is Fixed!”
will appear when you choose an initialization method. Tap
OK to close this message window.
3. After you have selected an initialization method, FAST
Survey will switch to the Monitor/Skyplot screen. This
screen shows the progress of the initialization phase
(HRMS, VRMS, Status, Latency, etc.).
4. A beep can be heard when the position solution is fixed.
You can then tap BACK at the top of the screen and move
on to your survey, taking care not to lose system initializa
-
tion.
