General
Use this page to set the general receiver settings.
Select Receiver Configuration / General.
Operation Mode –
-
Base – Provides base station functionality. The Motion is set to Static.
-
Moving Base – Provides Moving Base functionality. The Motion is set to Kinematic and a CMR output is configured on Serial 3. To reconfigure this, select I/O Configuration / Port Configuration. The RTK Mode is set to Low Latency to allow for the use of static CMR or RTCM corrections. However, you can change it to Synchronous if you use Moving Base CMR corrections from another Moving Base receiver.
The internal radio does not support transport of Moving Base CMR corrections.
-
Heading – Provides Heading functionality. Requires CMR input from a Moving Base receiver. The Motion is set to Kinematic and the RTK Mode is set to Synchronous. If CMR corrections are available from a Moving Base receiver, the Heading (True North) is displayed on the receiver front panel.
-
Rover – Provides rover functionality. The Motion is set to Kinematic.
IonoGuard™ – Use of the IonoGuard feature during ionospheric disturbances has been proven to maintain the precision and reliability of the RTK and RTX position solution. The IonoGuard feature reduces the effects of ionosphere and scintillation on the signals.
Optimum performance is achieved when IonoGuard™ technology is enabled at both the base and rover receivers:
-
With IonoGuard enabled at the base station, ionospheric information for each satellite is transmitted via CMRx/sCMRx or RTCM MSM protocols to rover receivers. IonoGuard rover receivers use this information together with their own ionospheric measurements to optimize the computed positions
-
If IonoGuard is not enabled at the base receiver, then an IonoGuard rover receiver can operate in Fallback mode. The receiver analyzes the standard base messages and determines if ionospheric adjustments are necessary. These adjustments are used to improve positioning performance. This method is not as rigorous as having the more detailed ionospheric information sent from the base station, but can assist when using a non-Trimble ProPoint receiver or a third-party base receiver. There may be negative impacts in positioning performance when Ionospheric disturbances are not present. Trimble recommends that you do not use Fallback mode unless there is the possibility of ionospheric disturbances in your area.
-
For best results, Trimble ProPoint firmware 6.24 or later is required on the base receiver and rover receiver with IonoGuard enabled on both receivers.
IonoGuard has the following modes:
-
Base mode – The base station has IonoGuard enabled. Ionospheric disturbance detection runs at the base, and the disturbance information is sent to the rover receiver via RTCM/CMRx messages.
-
Fallback Mode – The base station does not have IonoGuard enabled. Ionospheric disturbance detection at the rover receiver runs when the data received from the base station does not include IonoGuard messages.
-
Disable – The receiver will not perform any IonoGuard processing.
On the Satellites - Tracking Information page, an icon shows the level of ionosphere disturbance.
