1 Introduction
The P5 GNSS Reference Receiver User Guide describes how to set up and use the
CHC® P5 GNSS reference receiver.
In this manual, “the receiver” refers to the P5 GNSS reference receiver unless
otherwise stated.
Even if the user has used other Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) products
before, CHC recommends that the user spend some time reading this manual to
learn about the special features of this product. If the user is not familiar with GNSS,
go to www.chcnav.com for an interactive look at CHC and GNSS.
1.1 About the Receiver
The P5 GNSS reference receiver (“the receiver”) is a multiple-frequency GNSS
receiver. It can track all GPS (L1/L2/L5), GLONASS (L1/L2), BDS (B1/B2/B3/B1c/B2a),
GALILEO(E1/E5a/E5b), QZSS(L1/L5) and SBAS (L1).
The user can use the front panel of the receiver or an office computer to configure
the receiver, access files, and publish data files to a company Intranet or to the
Internet. The receiver makes it easy for the user to set up a powerful, flexible, and
reliable reference station for continuous operation.
The receiver serves in all common geodetic reference receiver roles. It can be the
main component in a Continuously Operating Reference Station (CORS), streaming
data to CHC GNSS Infrastructure software. It can also work well as a campaign
receiver prior to permanent deployment. The receiver makes an excellent portable
RTK base station with its internal battery. It also has specialized capabilities that
make it an excellent reference receiver for scientific applications.
