Multi Base tab of the Status dialog
Status dialog contains information about current survey, connected receiver position, RTK status, and satellite constellations. The status information is presented in the following tabs:
- Position tab - displays the data related to a currently occupied position.
- System tab - shows the current state of GNSS measurements and GNSS equipment.
- Log History tab - displays on a time line the number of satellites which raw data is logging.
- Multi Base Status tab - displays the multiple base configuration status and allows a user to manually switch bases (this tab).
- Scatter Plots tab - displays graphically the current receiver position changing in time and showing measurements scatter.
- SVs tab - represents graphically the satellites on the sky and their signal-to-noise ratio (SNR).
- To review the information about the current state of the RTK parameters in the multiple base configuration.
- Use: a check mark indicates this base station is currently used by the RTK engine;
- ID: the unique numerical ID of this base station as it is defined in CMR+ messages;
- Base: the name of this base station (only available if this base is currently in use);
- Age: the age of the last RTK message received from this base station;
- Link: the quality of the radio link of this base station;
- Type: the solution type of the position (only available for a base that is currently in use);
- Dist: the distance between this base station and the rover (only available for a base that is currently in use).
- To manually switch a base that is currently in use to another available base.
By default, MAGNET Field automatically switches bases to the one that is mostly suited for the RTK rover at the specific location. When required, a user has an option to manually select a desired base station from the list of available bases and instruct the rover to obtain RTK correction data from that base.
- Check the box
manually in the Use column in a desired base row to turn off the automatic base switching and select the base station. The RTK engine starts to use correction data from that base.
- Click the Select Base Automatically button to return to automatic mode and let MAGNET Field choose the mostly suited base station. (This button is disabled when automatic mode is on.)
