4.1 Equipment Setup
4.1.1 Setting up as a Post-Processing Base
The equipment setup described is used for static operations over markers.
The instrument can be programmed with the eld controller before use which
can then be omitted from the setup.
•
The antenna is mounted directly using screw tting. If using stub and
adapter, procedures can vary slightly.
•
When using the adapter and carrier, ensure that the antenna and the
adapter assembly slide down the full length of the carrier stub. An incor-
rectly mounted antenna will have a direct effect on the results.
Use an external battery such as GEB371 to ensure operation for a full day.
