static (surveying)

A method of GNSS surveying using long occupations (hours in some cases) to collect raw data. The raw data is then post-processed to produce vectors with sub-centimeter precision.

For static sessions, the receiver is assumed to:

• Remain stationary over a single point
• Collect data for a longer period of time than for FastStatic.

Static occupation times can range from 30 minutes to several hours or more in length for applications requiring the highest levels of precision and repeatability.
