Reference Station Setup |
The Reference Station Setup page allows configuration of parameters that are used to generate several types of I/O streams. The most important of these settings is a Reference Position, which is used in generation of differential correction streams such as RTCM or CMR. Other parameters are used to identify the source of the stream, and are inserted directly into the streamed records.
The Reference Station Position can be entered as geodetic coordinates by specifying the latitude, longitude and height above the ellipsoid. Alternatively it can be entered as Cartesian ECEF coordinates in meters. Select the style with the WGS-84 or ECEF radio buttons. The position entered should be the most accurate position available for the datum in which you are working.
A Here button is available to fill the position entry fields with the currently measured GPS position. Filling the form with an approximate position can be useful in avoiding errors while the accurate data is being entered. Note that the Here Position is an autonomous, uncorrected location which is probably unsuitable for high precision uses.
In addition to the Reference Station Position, several station identification parameters are availble.
