GeoExplorer 6000 Series User Guide 73
Using the GNSS Receiver 5
Connecting to an external antenna
The GeoExplorer 6000 series handheld has an internal antenna, which is suitable for
use in most conditions.
If you have a GeoXT handheld, you can also connect a Tempest or an external patch
antenna for when you work in a vehicle. For improved yield under canopy, you can use
a Tempest antenna, or a patch antenna with a ground plane.
If you have a GeoXH handheld, you can connect an external Tornado antenna for
improved accuracy when you collect data for postprocessing using H-Star technology.
Configure antenna settings in the GNSS field software, once you have connected the
external antenna to the handheld.
To configure antenna settings in the TerraSync software:
1. In the Setup section of the TerraSync software, tap
Logging Settings. The
Logging Settings form appears.
2. Tap the
Setup button next to the Antenna Height field. The Antenna Settings
form appears.
3. In the Height field, specify the height of the GNSS
antenna that is connected to the GNSS position.
4. In the Confirm field, select how often the software
will ask you to confirm the configured antenna
height during data collection.
5. In the Type field, select the type of antenna that is
connected. The number in the Part Number field is
automatically updated when you select the
antenna type.
6. In the Measure Height To field, select the point on
the antenna that you have measured the height to.
7. Tap
OK to return to the Logging Settings form.
