15. Network DGPS: Stake Survey

During a stakeout procedure you can select two independent ways to save staked out points to the current job: Precise and Quick. In the Topo dialog or Stake dialog, the Precise way will be activated by clicking , and the Quick way will be activated by clicking .

In the Precise area you can set the following parameters:

  1. Solution: for the Network DGPS configuration All and DGPS solution types will be considered. More...
  2. Measure Continuously: select the check box to log measurements continuously and stop them manually when required.
  3. Average: the field allows you to set a specific number of measurements for logging and average them for storing the position. If needed, you can change the default number (3) of measurements.
  4. Note: If the Average value is more than 1 measurement during the stake procedure the application recalculates RMS (in the both planes) while logging new measurements.

  5. Precision: select the check box to consider the threshold of the horizontal and vertical precisions of measurement to store the position. Measurements and their further averaging will be performed until specified horizontal and vertical precision values are reached. In the general case, the number of measurements required for reaching specified precision can be greater than the number of epochs specified in the Average field. The default values are 0.25 m and 0.400 m, respectively.
  6. Note: In the Advanced Epoch Filtering dialog you can filter out individual measurements so they would not be used them in averaging. To call the dialog, click and select the respective menu item.

  7. Auto Store: select the check box to enable auto-storing positions for the average mode.

In the Quick area you can set the following parameters:

  1. Solution: for the Network DGPS configuration All and DGPS solution types will be considered. More...
  2. Average: the field allows you to set a specific number of measurements for logging and average them for storing the position. If required, you can change the default number (1) of measurements.
  3. Note: If the Average value is more than 1 measurement during the stake procedure the application recalculates RMS (in the both planes) while logging new measurements.

  4. Precision: select the check box to consider the threshold of the horizontal and vertical precisions of measurement to store the position. Measurements and their further averaging will be performed until specified horizontal and vertical precision values are reached. In the general case, the number of measurements required for reaching specified precision can be greater than the number of epochs specified in the Average field. The default values are 0.25 m and 0.400 m, respectively.
  5. Note: In the Advanced Epoch Filtering dialog you can filter out individual measurements so they would not be used them in averaging. To call the dialog, click and select the respective menu item.

Note that even if the Precision option is checked, MAGNET Field will wait for the number of averaged epochs specified in the Average field. This applies to both Precise and Quick modes.

Note: Every survey parameter can be changed with the help of the button from any in the Topo and Stake dialog in GNSS mode.
