How to connect to TS via GNSS receiver using LongLink™
To remotely connect to a robotic total station (PS, DS, GT and GTL series) at an extended range (comparing to a BT connection), you can use a GNSS receiver that supports LongLink™ communication (HiPer SR, HiPer VR, HiPer HR).
This connection type can be used to replace Remote Control unit to control a robotic TS.
For setting up this type of connection, the following actions are required:
- Create an optical configuration for a robotic TS (PS, DS, GT and GTL series are supported). In the Connection Mode dialog of configuration wizard, select Bluetooth TS via GNSS. Save the configuration.
-
Create a GNSS configuration:
- In the most basic case it can be PP Static. If you intend to work in the Hybrid Positioning™ mode, create the necessary GNSS configuration (RTK, Network RTK, etc.) instead of PP static.
- In the Rover Receiver / Static Receiver (for PP Static) dialog of configuration wizard, specify the receiver model you intend to use and the connection type. Note that the receiver must support LongLink™ connectivity.
- Save the configuration.
- Turn the GNSS receiver and the TS on. Do not run External Link mode on the TS.
- In the Connections dialog, select the created optical configuration in the Device Type group. Click Connect.
- First, MAGNET Field start connecting to the GNSS receiver the way specified in the GNSS configuration.
- After successful connection to GNSS receiver, the Select Robotic Device dialog opens. Find your TS in the list and connect to it.
On successful connection, a green antenna will be displayed on the respective icon on the TS status. You can verify the communication with the instrument by manipulating it with the joystick (or virtual joystick) in the Remote Control dialog (click
