Suggested exercise: Measure a very short baseline
You can now switch off the sensor.
Once power is off, put the equipment
back into the shipping case.
You might now move to another site
and repeat the procedure outlined in
this chapter. Once your fieldwork is
finished you can proceed by
processing the collected data in SKI-
Pro in order to get accurate baseline
results.
It might be a useful exercise to start
with a very simple static baseline.
Choose a location which is free of
obstructions.
Mark two points on the ground
which are a few meters apart and
measure the distance by tape (for
comparison later on)
Set up two System 500 sensors on
tripod as explained in chapter 2.
Log raw data simultaneously on
each unit for about 10 minutes,
using the PP_STAT configuration
and newly created jobs.
Measure and record the height of
the antennas correctly using the
height hook.
Enter Point Id's of your choice
Transfer the data of both sensors
into SKI-Pro and post-process the
collected raw data.
Compare the GPS results with your
initial tape reading. The resulting
slope distance should not differ by
more than a few millimeters.
