Antenna
Select the Antenna configuration that
you are using.
Ant. Name - Displays and selects the
currently selected antenna setup.
Vert Offset - Displays the vertical
offset defined in the Antenna setup
(Ant Name).
Deflt Hgt - Displays a default height
for the Antenna setup. If the antenna
will always be mounted at a fixed
height (E.g. on a pole or always at the
same fixed location), enter the value.
You will also get a chance to enter the
height for each set up during survey
operations.
Meas Type - Also, enter the means
by which the Antenna height was
measured. For kinematic measure-
ments using a pole, this will be
Vertical.
To select an antenna setup, highlight
Ant. Name and press ENTER to
open the drop down box. All of the
existing antenna configurations are
listed.
You may select from this list or enter
your own antenna configuration by
pressing the New (F2) key and
entering the required information.
Most Post-Processed Kinematic
Surveys are carried out using the
System 500 pole. When a factory
default pole setup is selected, (AT501
Pole/AT502 Pole) the Vertical Offset
is set automatically at zero and the
Deflt Hgt at 2.00m. Note that the
settings from the currently highlighted
antenna setup are taken over as
suggested default values.
Advice on calculating Antenna
Heights and offsets for Leica and
non-Leica Antennas is given in
Chapter 2.15.
Use the Edit (F3) key to edit the
highlighted Antenna configuration.
Use the DEL (F4) key to delete an
Antenna configuration.
Use the DEFLT (F5) key to reveal
default antenna configurations with
current System 500 GPS antennas.
This will then change to ALL.
