5. Configuring the Receiver Technical Reference Manual-4.0.0en
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 configuration. This is
of little use for Real-Time Reference
stations where the Antenna height
differs with each setup.
Meas Type - Also, enter the means
by which the Antenna height was
measured. For the majority of GPS
Antennas (including all Leica
antennas), this will be Vertical. The
height of some non-Leica GPS
antennas can only be measured by
taking the slope distance to the outer
edge of the Antenna. If this is the
case, select Slope and enter the
value. You will then be required to
enter a Horizontal Offset also. See
Section 2.15.3 for more details on
measuring slope height. Note that the
settings from the currently highlighted
antenna setup are taken over as
suggested default values.
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.
Most Real-Time Reference Stations
are setup on a tripod or pillar.
You may select from this list or enter
your own Antenna configuration by
pressing the NEW (F2) key. Note that
the settings from the currently
highlighted antenna setup are taken
over as suggested default values.
When a factory default tripod setup is
chosen, the Vertical Offset is
automatically set at 0.36m. You will
need to measure the Antenna Height
with the height hook when setting up.
