Description of the System: General Information 2.1.1

Description: The Leica iCON gps 80 instrument and the Leica CGA100 GNSS antenna together with dedicated accessories like the Quick Release Machine Bracket CMB6, a machine computer, or an external radio offers you highest productivity and flexibility. For example, Single GNSS configuration as well as Dual GNSS configuration is possible, but the system also can be used in a Base Station configuration.

Two example configurations are shown in the following paragraphs. 


Main components, Dual GNSS configuration with internal modem


Main components, Base Station configuration

Satellite channels: Depending on the satellite systems and signals configured, a maximum number of 555 channels is allocated.
