Configure Navigation Mode
14. Click the icon on the toolbar to configure the
rover. The Rover / Navigation & Tracking Setup
window opens. Use of the default settings is
recommended. Configure only the settings below:
9 Elevation Mask: Enter a value between 0 and 90
degrees to set the elevation angle at which the
receiver will start processing GPS data from satellites.
The default elevation mask is 7 degrees to prevent
position jumps due to frequent satellite re-acquisitions
at lower elevation mask angle limits.
9 Navigation Rate: The number of navigation solutions
per second. The available rates are: 1Hz (default),
5Hz, and 10Hz. The 5Hz and 10Hz navigation rates
are purchased software options.
The Navigation Rate setting in the Rover / Navigation
& Tracking Setup window sets the output of the NCT
Binary messages B0 and B1 and the NMEA
messages GGA, RMC, and VTG provided that those
messages are set to On Change in the NCT Binary
Messages window and the NMEA Messages window.
9 Min SVs for Solution: Four satellites are the minimum
SVs required for a 3D navigation solution, plus an
acceptable PDOP.
9 Max PDOP for Solution: Enter the highest PDOP
value according to application requirements. The
maximum PDOP value for solution is 25.5.
9 Access to RTG input is available only by purchase of
a license for the StarFire™ subscription service.
