Manual Base Setup 6.1.2

Base Setup: The instrument can be manually set up as a stand-alone base station without
a controller. This can be done in three different ways using the Base Setup wizard: 

• Smart Get here:
Instrument determines position and uses current position as a new base point.
• Edit:
Manual input of coordinates to generate a new base point.
• Find nearest:
Searches through the Base Point List for a known base point within a radius of 20 m of the current instrument position.

☞ The following step-by-step descriptions explain the different options in detail.

 Smart Get here step-by-step: The Smart Get here function determines the current coordinates of the instrument and uses this position as the base point.

Find nearest step-by-step: The Find nearest function searches through the Base Point List for base points in the vicinity.

Edit step-by-step:  The Edit function can be used to enter a set of coordinates manually.

  1. According your needs, setup the hardware needed at the desired base point position. Refer to 4 Setups with Accessories for further information about hardware setup.
  2. Access the wizard via Settings > Tools > Base Setup.
  3. In the Position screen highlight Modify and press .
  4. Select Edit and press to confirm
  5. In the Edit Position screen enter a Point ID, a set of coordinates and the height of the desired Base Station. Select Continue and press to confirm.
  6.  The instrument searches for base points in the vicinity, which are stored in the Base Point List.
  7. If there is already a Base Point within a 40m radius of the measured point stored in the instrument a message is displayed:
    • Select Overwrite to use the newly measured position, or
    • select Use existing to use the known point.
    • In case the existing point has been chosen, a second warning message is displayed where you can choose between
    Saved setup to use the saved Base point setup, including Antenna and Communication settings, or Current to use the currently used Base point setup. If no Base Point is found within a 40m radius an according information message is displayed and the newly entered information is stored as Base Point.
