Reference Station Setup

This page is used to set the reference station position. The information set here is used primarily for RTCM and CMR base station applications.

The base station position can be entered as geodetic coordinates by specifying the latitude, longitude and height above the ellipsoid, or as Cartesian ECEF coordinates. The position entered here should be the most accurate position available for the satellite datum in which you are working.

The station ID can also be specified for RTCM and CMR base station applications. RTCM allows for station IDs in the range of 0 to 1023. CMR allows for station IDs in the range of 0 - 30. The RTCM and CMR IDs do not have to be the same.

The station name is used primarily for CMR applications, but can be specified for RTCM as well. A length of eight characters is recommended for the station name.

The station description can be up to 50 characters in length and is used to provide descriptive information about the station.
