Setting an RTK Base
• Set up the base at its planned location. Measure the
antenna height according to the slant measurement
method, using the HI tape provided:
– Insert the end of the tape into one of the three height
marks located at the edge of the antenna radome (as
shown).
– Unfold the tap until you place the tip located at the
other end of the tape on the reference point.
– Read the graduation directly on the tape: This is the
slant antenna height.
• Turn on the receiver, run ProMark Field and create a job
as explained in Creating a New Job on page 10.
•Go to Menu>Options. On the Survey tab, select “Real-time”
as the survey mode. The Type parameter may be set to any
of the available two choices.
•Tap OK.
•Tap Menu and select Configuration...
• Select “Base” from the Configuration drop-down list
•Tap Settings.
•On the GNSS tab, make sure the “Internal” GNSS receiver
is selected. Ignore the Port field.
• Tap on the Antenna tab,
• Enter the antenna height you have just measured and
select “Slant”, corresponding to the measurement
method used.
• Select the antenna type used. Keep the Virtual Antenna
option cleared.
However, if you also plan to collect raw data for further
post-processing using some office software other than
GNSS Solutions, you will need to enable this option if the
base antenna used is not known to this software. In that
case, the collected raw data will be adjusted as if they had
been collected with the standard ADVNULLANTENNA.
• Tap on the Position tab. In the Site ID field, enter a name
of your choice for the point where the base is installed
(e.g. “BASE”). Then enter its accurate coordinates. When
leaving the Position tab, ProMark Field will ask you
whether you wish to save that point to the job file or not.
If a point accurately describing the base position is stored
in the job, you can select this point directly after tapping
on the button.
