5 Using the GNSS Receiver
70 GeoExplorer 6000 Series User Guide
• MTSAT Satellite-based Augmentation System (MSAS) satellites are tracked in
Japan.
To use SBAS corrections:
1. In the Setup section of the GNSS software, tap
Real-time Settings. The Real-time Settings form
appears.
2. In the Choice 1 field, select Integrated SBAS.
3. To select particular satellites, tap the
Setup
button next to the Choice 1 field. Select
Custom tracking mode and then enable or disable
tracking of particular satellites. Tap
OK to return
to the Real-time Settings screen.
4. In the Choice 2 field, specify whether to use
uncorrected positions, or to stop using GNSS
positions, if corrections are not available.
5. Tap
Done.
Using real-time corrections from an external correction source
You can improve the accuracy of your data by using real-time corrections from an
external correction source, such as a GeoBeacon receiver or a DGNSS radio. Connect
the external correction source to a Bluetooth port (see page 93). Use the GNSS field
software to set up and monitor the real-time input source that you want to use.
The integrated GNSS receiver communicates only through its GNSS COM ports
(COM2, COM3, and COM4). Trimble GNSS field software, such as TerraSync and GPS
Controller, automatically redirects input from an external correction source connected
to COM1 or to a Bluetooth port to the real-time GNSS COM port (COM4).
Note – For information on configuring the GNSS field software to use corrections from a
VRS network or single base station that transmits corrections over the Internet, see Step 3:
Configuring the GNSS field software to use data received from the Internet source, page 97.
