RTK Configuration Steps
• Several instances of the RTDS software can be run on the
same computer, meaning the same computer can serve as
data relay for several bases.
• Up to 100 rovers can receive data from a single instance
of the RTDS software. All rovers communicate with a given
instance of RTDS through the same port number.
