MAGNET Field: Status - Position Tab

• The Status menu Displays information about the current position of the GNSS receiver, RTK status and satellite constellations.
• Status is comprised of four tab windows
  • Position
  • System
  • Scatter Plots
  • SVs (Satellite View)

 Note: 

The options available in this menu are dependent upon the instrument type specified in the Survey Job Configuration within the Configure Menu

• To access Status from the MAGNET Field Home screen
•  Click the Setup icon 

• Click the Status Icon

• When opened the default view is of the Position tab
• The Position tab displays:
  • Total number of the available satellites.
  • The lock icon  signifies the number of the satellites tracked
  • the star icon shows the number of satellites used in position determination
  • Current UTC time
  • Solution type
  • Coordinates of the position in the selected coordinate system and units
  • PDOP value; it is a factor depending solely on satellite geometry describing how the uncertainty in the coordinates will depend on the measurement errors. PDOP is proportional to the estimated position uncertainty.
  • H and V stand for HRMS and VRMS, the RMS values of the horizontal and vertical coordinates, respectively.
  • Base Dist: slope distance to base antenna. The field is empty if no differential corrections are received.

• Select the Option button on the upper left corner of the display to access
• Antenna Setup to view the current selection in the instrument configuration
• Reset RTK command
• Tracking to configure the GNSS receiver to track the satellite systems and satellite signals and to select a satellite constellation to be used for position computation
