Multipath Type

: You must specify this setting in order to filter out interference in the satellite signals caused by

nearby objects.

Dynamics

: This setting is applied to all Thales equipment types with the exception of the Z-Max. Here you may

specify the dynamics setting. Static is selected only when the Rover receiver is stationary. The default is Walking.

When set to Static, the HRMS and VRMS values (measurements of accuracy) will fall to very low numbers (high

accuracy), but lock will not hold unless the antenna is motionless. Static is recommended when the antenna and

pole are secured by a tripod or bipod.

Ambiguity Fixing Parameter

: This controls the confidence level of fixed positions. The default is 99.0. At a lower

confidence interval the system solves much faster. If the system incorrectly solves the position, then the position

error will be much greater than the reported RMS value.

Fast CPD

: This option specifies whether or not the program will allow approximating the rover’s position if your

position is lost briefly. Off is the default. Fast CPD is generally toggled on when Dynamics is set to Automobile.

GPS (NMEA)

This GPS configuration is typically used to pick up the standard, commonly output NMEA string from a variety of

receivers, including Ashtech MobileMapper CE.

To use the internal GPS of the MobileMapper CE unit, set the following:

Instrument

NMEA GPS Receiver

Communications

Port Number: COM2

Baud Rate: 57600

Parity: None

Char Length: 8

Stop Bits: 1

Configure Reading

Make sure that you toggle off the option to Store Fixed Only.
