Vector

This page shows the RTK vector information. The RTK vector information is available only when the receiver is receiving RTK corrections from a static RTK base.

Select Receiver Status / Vector.

 

Vector – The RTK vector between the base and rover antennas. The RTK information is only displayed if the receiver is receiving valid RTK correction data.

Position – The current position solution in the satellite reference system of the position antenna.

  • Lat – Latitude in degrees, minutes, and seconds.

  • Lon – Longitude in degrees, minutes, and seconds.

  • Hgt – Height above the Antenna Phase Center in meters.

  • Type – Current GNSS solution type.

  • Datum – Displays the datum that the position is referenced to.

CAUTION – The position output by the receiver is the Antenna Phase Center position. You may want to reduce this position to a reference position elsewhere. If so, you should account for any tilt of the antenna in such a reduction. The settings for the Antenna Measurement Method and Antenna Height are not applied to this output.

Base Position – Geographic location, height and name of the current moving base and the age of the corrections (the age of corrections are at the time of the Web page update).

Position Satellites Used – The list of satellites used by the position antenna (POS) for the current position solution.

Base Satellites Used – A list of the satellites used by the base to generate corrections.

Dilutions of Precision – Information about the strength of the satellite constellation with respect to a specific position attribute. The various Dilution of Precision (DOP) values take into account the location of each satellite relative to other satellites in the constellation, as well as their location relative to the receiver. Low DOP values indicate a higher probability of precision.

  • PDOP – (Position DOP). Indicates the strength of the satellite constellation for general position precision.

  • HDOP – (Horizontal DOP). Indicates the strength of the satellite constellation for horizontal position precision.

  • VDOP – (Vertical DOP). Indicates the strength of the satellite constellation for vertical position precision.

  • TDOP – (Time DOP). Indicates the strength of the satellite constellation for determining time and the clock offset.

Link Quality – The ID and quality of the correction transmissions.

Correction Controls – User-defined correction controls are either On or Off.
