Antenna Setup
To set up the GNSS antenna:
- Select the model of the Topcon Antenna if available for selection (for instance, HiPer
V, GR-5, GR-3).
- In the Height panel you can view / edit:
- the value of the antenna height (Antenna field),
- the method used to measure the antenna height (Meas as field ):
-
Vertical - measured from the ground point to the antenna reference point (ARP) located on the bottom of the receiver.
- Slant - measured from the ground point to the antenna slant height measure mark (SHMM).
Note: If the Unknown antenna model is selected during configuration, Topo and Stake dialogs allow only Vertical antenna height measurement method.
- the value of the adapter height in the Adapter field (adapter - an additional device which can be set between a GNSS receiver and a rod).
Note: Review the detailed information on how to set the antenna height in a single equipment setup ready for both, Hybrid Positioning™ and standard GNSS surveys.
- For the external GNSS antenna you can enter its Serial Number.
- Click
to open the dialog menu for additional settings used in specific configurations:
- Use relative calibrations option (available for base receiver antenna setup if Unknown antenna model is selected) - select to use relative antenna calibrations (the default is the use of absolute calibrations).
- Relative calibrations on Base option (used for rover receiver antenna setup in specific configurations when the Use relative calibrations option is selected for the corresponding base) - select it for correct calculation of the height of the ground point, where the rover is installed.
- Transmit as if zero offset antenna option (available for base receiver antenna setup) - select it if the warning: "Your rover firmware does not recognize the base antenna. Make sure that height of measured points is correct" has been received. More...

to save the settings.
