Antenna
Select the Antenna configuration that
you are using.
Ant. Name - Displays and selects the
currently selected antenna setup.
This will normally be AT502 Pole for
real-time Rover operations.
Vert Offset - Displays the vertical
offset defined in the Antenna setup
(Ant Name).
Deflt Hgt - Displays a default height
for the Antenna configuration. 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. This will normally be 2.00m for
Real-Time Rover operations. You will
also get a chance to enter the height
for each set up during survey opera-
tions.
Meas Type - Also, enter the means
by which the Antenna height was
measured. For Real-Time Rover
operations this will usually be Verti-
cal.
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 Real-Time Rover 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.
