Introduction
What is ProMark
800?
Congratulations! You have just acquired the latest multi-
frequency, multi-constellation ProMark 800 GNSS Surveying
System from Spectra Precision!
GNSS has revolutionized control surveys, topographic data
collection and construction surveying. Purchasing the right
tools for a professional job is essential in today's competitive
business environment. Learning to put these tools to work
quickly and efficiently will be the focus of the present
manual.
Compared to ProMark 500, ProMark 800 integrates the so-
called “GNSS-centric” new technology, known as Z-Blade™.
By allowing the receiver to better combine all the signals
available from the different visible GNSS constellations,
Z-Blade will allow you to improve your field productivity.
In addition, because it’s easy to use, you will be able to focus
on your job and forget almost everything about the technical
aspects of your equipment. No more cables, no more clip-on
modules: ProMark 800 will be the reliable tool you are
expecting for all your GNSS survey operations!
Scope of this
Guide
This guide is designed to help you rapidly familiarize yourself
with your new equipment. For the sake of conciseness, only a
selection of the many ProMark 800 functions are presented
in this guide.
Most notably, in the RTK surveying section, only the use of
radios is fully described in the implementation of the data
link. The other solutions are only outlined. For a full
description of these solutions, refer to the ProMark 800
Reference Manual.
Likewise, in the Logging Raw Data section, the assumption is
made that raw data logging takes place simultaneously with
the RTK field operations, which means the setup and
configuration of the equipment is as described in the RTK
surveying section. In fact, post-processed surveys can be
conducted with ProMark 800 using optimized setups and
configurations for static, Stop&Go and kinematic surveys.
These are also discussed in the ProMark 800 Reference
Manual.
