• Wait until the receiver returns the “FIXED” indication in
the status bar.
• Taking care to keep the pole upright and the antenna
unmasked, go to the start point of the line.
•Tap Log. In the Site ID field, type the name of the start
point of the line.
If you use a purely numerical value for this field, then
ProMark Field will automatically increment the Site ID
name. Optionally, add a description in the field
underneath. This may be one of the feature codes you
defined earlier.
•On the Antenna tab, you may also check the antenna
height and type entered previously and make last-minute
changes.
•On the Settings tab, you may choose the rate at which the
software will log points (along the line) in the job file.
Points may be logged every x seconds or units of distance.
Choose what’s best for you, depending on your speed
along the line.
• Offset tab: See Line Offset on page 42.
•Tap OK to start logging the line.
“Logging...” then appears on the screen and you can see
the line being plotted on the map as you walk along, based
on the RTK position solution computed by the receiver.
• When you reach the end of the line, select Menu > Stop.
You may use the Pause/Resume function in the Menu when
the line is discontinuous. While in pause, ProMark Field
stops logging points according to the chosen time or
distance rate.
• When you are finished with the job, select Menu, Exit to
close the job and quit ProMark Field.
Using the Stake
Out Function
The file containing the stakeout points is a survey file as are
all the job files created with ProMark Field (i.e. a CSV file).
The file may have been prepared with GNSS Solutions and/or
derived from a job run earlier with ProMark Field. Stakeout
points can also be added directly in the open job file using
the Add button after selecting Menu>Job>Points.
To export stakeout points from a GNSS Solutions project,
select these points in the project, then use the Project>Export
Geo Data to File command, choosing “CSV” as the output
format.
NOTE: The Stakeout function can also be used simply to take
you back to the selected point (navigation function).
