Running a Static Survey

The procedures for performing a static survey with the

ProMark3 system can be broken down into five primary cate-

gories: equipment check, site selection, system setup, static

survey setup and data collection. Following the steps present-

ed below should result in successful execution of your GPS

survey.

Note: Remember that data must be simultaneously collected

between 2 or more ProMark3 receiver systems in order to pro

duce vectors between the receivers. Therefore, the following

procedures must be followed for each ProMark3 receiver sys-

tem used in the survey. There is no problem in setting up one

ProMark3 receiver system and then moving to another site to

set up another. Just be aware that the observation time is de-

termined by the last receiver set up. For example, if you were

alone and wanted to perform a survey with a 2-receiver

ProMark3 system, you could set up the first receiver and start

data collection. You could then move to the next site and set

up the second receiver. Only when the second receiver is col

lecting data does simultaneous data collection begin. All the

data collected by the first receiver up to this time is of no use

and will be ignored during data processing.
