Localization
This operating mode is used in the following cases:
- The coordinate system is unknown or its characteristics
are not accurate enough.
- The base station is operated on a reference point whose
position was only determined in autonomous GPS mode.
- A local coordinate system is used for field operations.
In either of these three cases, you will have to localize your
system before starting your job, using control points. The use
of 3 control points or more is highly recommended to achieve
horizontal localization. This number should be raised up to 4,
or more, to ensure vertical localization, as this will guarantee
the consistency of your control points.
Click on the Equip tab and select Localization. The screen that
appears is described below.
Control coordinates can be entered manually or read from a
file stored in the handheld computer. When you click Add to
add a point, a new screen is displayed.
You may either enter the points coordinates manually (see
screen example opposite) or select an existing point from the
pre-defined list.
