Carrying out Kinematic and Stop & Go measurements, contd.
If you want to pick up subsequent
discrete points then just move to the
next point you want to measure.
Then press F1 OCUPY, and hold
your antenna steady for a few
seconds. You have to remain on the
point until at least one epoch of
"Static observations" has been
recorded. You can then again press
F1 STOP and F1 STORE to
complete the point measurement. A
Point Id and antenna height must be
entered for such Stop & Go points.
Post-processing will provide results
with point id's and associated
coordinates.
Make sure you avoid obstructions
when you move from point to point.
Severe obstructions might cause a
complete loss of lock which in turn
will cause a loss of accuracy in post-
processing. A static reinitialization will
become mandatory in such a case. A
warning message will be displayed to
inform the user to start another
"chain" of measurements:
"Another static initialization is
necessary"
In this case logging of raw data stops
automatically. Thus you now must
carry out another static initialization
(see above).
You are now ready to move your
antenna. You can expect coordinates
with centimeter accuracy as long as
lock to a minimum of 4 to 5 satellites
is maintained.
Observations are logged while
moving, which is indicated by a
switch in the status symbol from
"Static" to "Moving":
If you are only interested in the
trajectory of your antenna, then just
get moving. Postprocessing will
provide you with time tagged
coordinates for every epoch at which
observations are logged (normally
every 2, 3 or 5 seconds).
