6. Real Time DGPS: Rover Receiver

To configure the rover receiver:

  1. The External Receiver box is enabled for a controller that has an internal GNSS receiver. You can select a connection with the internal GNSS receiver or any external GNSS receiver. If the controller does not have a GNSS receiver or the software is installed on the computer, the External Receiver box is always checked. The connection to the external receivers can be Bluetooth and Serial Cable. For NET G5, HiPer HR and Sokkia GNR5 receivers, you can also select Wi-Fi connection.

  2. Note: USB interface and USB cable can be used to establish serial communication between controller and some GNSS receivers (such as HiPer CR, HiPer VR, HiPer HR, Net G5; Sokkia GCX2, GCX3, GRX3, GNR5). Select Serial Cable for such connection. More...

  3. From the Receiver Model list, select the model of the rover receiver you are using and enter its Serial Number.
  4. Note: Topcon Legacy selection will work with all receiver models which were manufactured before GR-3 receiver.

  5. Set Elevation Mask. Usually the default 13 degrees is appropriate. Data from satellites below this elevation will not be used.
  6. From DGPS Format list, select the format for the differential corrections data, which the rover radio modem will receive (For the Generic NMEA this field is hidden).
  7. From the Antenna drop-down list, select the type of the rover receiver antenna used.
  8. Enter the antenna height and set the type of height measurement (vertical or slant). To do this, click the Antenna Height button and select Edit from the drop-down menu. The Antenna Setup dialog is opened. Here you can edit the antenna type, the value of the antenna height, and the type of height.
  9. The software allows you to connect the different external devices to the rover. To configure the ports and to select the external device(s) type, click the Peripherals button. The Peripherals dialog is opened.
  10. Optionally, you can turn off the charger mode for the receiver's internal battery if it is available. To do this, select the Receiver Setting option from the pop-up menu that displays by clicking in the top left corner.

Click Next. The wizard will open the corresponding screen to create the Real Time DGPS configuration.
