Setup iCON gps 80 as Base Station: iCON gps 80 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 80 as Base Station:
• Manual Base Setup:
- When no Base Setup has been performed and recorded before to the iCON gps 80 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 80 features a tool for automatic Base Setup called BasePilot.
- BasePilot is enabled automatically when the iCON gps 80 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.
