Troubleshooting 8
Satellite
elevation
When a satellite is low on the horizon,
satellite signals must travel farther through
the atmosphere. This results in a lower signal
strength and delayed reception by the GNSS
receiver, which can cause errors in calculating
the position.
Use smart settings with Trimble field software
to allow the receiver to determine maximum
precision positions regardless of available
satellite elevation. See Using Smart Settings,
page 71.
Activate the Floodlight technolgy option on
your handheld to increase the total number
of satellites that the receiver can track, and
the likelihood of being able to track more
satellites at higher elevation. See Activating
the Floodlight technology and the NMEA
output options, page 74.
Occupation time
at a point
Occupation time is the time spent at a point
logging GNSS positions.
For point features, remain at the feature and
log a number of GNSS positions to obtain an
averaged position.
When collecting line and area features,
collect them using averaged vertices.
