How to set up a Base Station for iCON iCG60

Base Setup requires a license on the antenna.

When the Base Setup license is available on the antenna and a connection to the controller is established, then the Base Setup application becomes available within the Home screen.

The app only becomes available when working with the 'Classic Home screen'. When using the Admin Panel (iCON build default), go to Status Bar 1 > Devices and edit the antenna profile.

Adding control points to a job

For some setup procedures, control points need to be available in the current job. There are different ways to add control points to a job.

Importing control points	You can import a list of control points. Refer to Importing data to the project step-by-step. When importing TPS control points, information on prism type and height is only imported for file types .geo and .xml. After importing the control points, add missing information using the toolbox function Edit in the point list. Refer to 3.9 Point List, Searching for a Point.
Defining new points as control points	When creating new points in the point list, you can define them as control points. Refer to 3.9 Point List, Searching for a Point (Toolbox function New). After creating a TPS control point, add the information about prism type and height using the toolbox function Edit.
Turning existing measured points into control points	Open the point list and select an existing measured point. Use the toolbox function Edit to turn the point into a control point. For TPS points define prism type and height and the coordinates of the new control point. Refer to 3.9 Point List, Searching for a Point (Toolbox function Edit).
Defining measured points as control points	In the Measure application, activate the toolbox function Control Point to define measured points as control points. To measure and store a control point, press Start. All measured points are stored as control points. For TPS points select the correct prism type and height (refer to 3.3 How to set Prism Type and Prism Height ). The information about the currently selected prism type and height is stored together with the measured control point.
Creating control points in the Draw/Sketching application	Create a single control point Select the toolbox function New Point. Enter the coordinates for the new point. Tap to activate the Control Point function or select Control Point in the toolbox. Tap to create the control point. Create several control points along a line Select the toolbox function Start Point. Define direction of the line, distance from the start point and height. Select Control Point in the toolbox. Tap and enter the desired number to create several control points along a line. Tap to create the control points.

Creating control points in the Draw/Sketching application

Create a single control point

Select the toolbox function New Point.
Enter the coordinates for the new point.
Tap to activate the Control Point function or select Control Point in the toolbox.
Tap to create the control point.

Create several control points along a line

Select the toolbox function Start Point.
Define direction of the line, distance from the start point and height.
Select Control Point in the toolbox.
Tap and enter the desired number to create several control points along a line.
Tap to create the control points.

Information about prism type and prism height for TPS points

The information about prism type and height of a control point only needs to be defined once. There are two possibilities to define this information:

Define this information directly after adding control points to a job by using one of the previously described methods.
Define this information when using a setup procedure with coordinates for the first time:
Before measuring an existing control point, select the correct prism type and height. The information about the currently selected prism type and height is stored together with the measured control point.
- The next time you start a setup procedure, this information is automatically set for each control point. You can directly select and measure the control points for setup.
