Antenna Setup |
This page is used to edit and view informaton about the antenna that is connected to the NetRS receiver.
Editable fields include:
Information only fields include:
Serial Numnber
Use the serial number field to enter the serial number of the antenna connected to the NetRS receiver. The serial number is stored in logged T00 files, and also transmitted in RTCM and CMR data streams. The antenna serial number may be required for certain typs of jobs, such as NGS Bluebook Jobs in the United States. In some instances tracking equipment serial numbers can be useful if problem data are encountered.
Antenna Name
Use the Antenna Name field to select the type of antenna connected to the NetRS receiver.
Antenna Type
The antenna type field shows the numeric Id of the antenna in the Trimble antenna database. This Id is extracted directly from the database for the antenna selected using the Antenna Name field, and is not editable. It is provided for information only.
NGS/IGS Name
The NGS / IGS Name field shows the ascii name of the antenna assigned by either NGS or IGS. This name is extracted directly from the Trimble antenna database for the antenna selected using the Antenna Name field, and is not editable. It is provided for information only.
Character Code
The character code field shows the two character ascii Id of the antenna in the Trimble antenna database. This two character Id is used primarily by Trimble software for backward compatibility with older Trimble antennas. The character code is extracted directly from the database for the antenna selected using the Antenna Name field, and is not editable. It is provided for information only.
Height
Use this field to enter the value of the antenna measurement, in meters. This measurement is typically made to the bottom of the antenna mount, but may also reflect the value for any one of the antenna measurement methods selected using the Height Reference Point field. The receiver uses this value, together with information about the Height Reference Point, to make the actual antenna correction.
Height Reference Point
Use this field to specify the point to which the antenna height measurement is made. Use the list box to select any one of the supported methods. The receiver uses this Height Reference Point together with the value entered for Height to make the actual antenna correction.
