5 Using the GNSS Receiver
72 GeoExplorer 6000 Series User Guide
Using Smart Settings, the GNSS receiver generates the best possible position for any
given environment, without the need for you to adjust receiver settings to match the
conditions. Regardless of whether you are working under canopy, in wide open spaces,
or somewhere in between, Smart Settings automatically generates the best solution
possible.
Using traditional mask techniques in open conditions, weak signals can accidentally
degrade the accuracy of the position if masks are too relaxed, whereas in obstructed
conditions, more satellites are needed to help maintain optimum accuracy if masks are
set too strictly. Using Smart Settings, the receiver uses all available GNSS information
to determine which combination of satellites to use to deliver the best position. Once
you set the receiver to use Smart Settings, the receiver does the rest.
By default, the receiver is configured to use Smart Settings. In this mode, the receiver
will track all visible satellites, and determine which to use in the position solution to
automatically generate the most accurate position possible.
To open the GNSS Settings form, do one of the following:
• Tap GNSS Settings in the Setup section.
• Tap in the Skyplot, Satellite Info, or Plan section.
To enable Smart Settings, select the Use Smart Settings
check box.
To define custom GNSS settings, clear the Use Smart
Settings check box. Editable fields appear enabling you to
specify the required GNSS quality settings. Enter values in
these fields.
