Q Best practice
Q Antenna type
Q Scenarios
Q Scenario One: Base station
setup on first visit to a site
Q Scenario Two: Base station
setup on a repeat visit to that
site
Q Scenario Three: The stored
base station position seems to
be missing
Q Flowchart showing the AutoBase
process
The Trimble SPS880 Extreme Smart GPS antenna
features AutoBase
™
technology, which provides
the following advantages:
• Reduced risk of a setup that uses incorrect
base station coordinates.
• Reduced daily setup times for a mobile base
station. When you use an SPS880 Extreme
Smart GPS antenna as a base station
receiver, you do not need to reconfigure the
receiver at the start of each day.
The AutoBase feature is a function of the version
3.x receiver firmware, which supports both GPS
modernization (L2C and L5 signals) and
GLONASS signals. You cannot turn off the
AutoBase warning feature in the
SPS880 Extreme
Smart GPS antenna.
Note – With the SPS880 Extreme Smart GPS
antenna, always start a base station setup by using
the SCS900 Site Controller software to initialize the
SPS880 Extreme Smart GPS antenna on a new
point. See page 60.
Please read this chapter even if you have used the
AutoBase feature in other Trimble receivers. New
functions now provide even greater benefits.
