Setup iCON gps 60 SmartAntenna as Base Station: The iCON gps 60 SmartAntenna can be setup and used as Base Station. Measured Base Points can be recorded in the instrument and a Base Point list can be imported and used for future Base Setups.
There are different options to setup the iCON gps 60 SmartAntenna as Base Station:
• Manual Base Setup:
- When no Base Setup has been performed and recorded before to the iCON gps 60 SmartAntenna and no Base Point List has been imported, it is necessary to perform a manual Base Setup.
- Manual Base Setup is always possible, also with a imported Base Point List or a previously recorded Base Setup.
• Base Setup using BasePilot:
- iCON gps 60 SmartAntenna features a tool for automatic Base Setup called BasePilot.
- BasePilot is enabled automatically when the iCON gps 60 SmartAntenna is powered up on an existing base point. BasePilot recognises that the instrument is in base mode, is over a known point and automatically loads the previously stored base configuration.
Using the Base Point List: The Base Point List comprises a list of known base points with all corresponding base system configuration data. It is used with the BasePilot functionality for fast automatic base configuration.
☞ The Base Point List can be exported, imported and deleted via the Import / Export / Delete submenu. Refer to 6.6 Import, Export, or Delete Data for further information.
No stored positions nearby- If no base point in the Base Point List is close to the current instrument position an information message shows up:
There are no existing Base Points nearby!
If this information appears:
• Confirm the message by pressing 
on Continue.
• Use the Edit or Smart Get here function to set up the base station.
