9.6 GPS
The GPS subgroup allows the user to specify tracking and
logging parameters, define the antenna to be used and enter
initial coordinates for first time tracking to a new region.
9.6.1 Tracking
The tracking screen is comprised of three controls.
• Max Accuracy / Max Track / Hyper Track radio button: Is
a selection that is mostly dependant upon the GPS
environment. Max Track and Hyper Track are Leica
Geosystems innovations that allows for signals to be
tracked at a lower strength threshold, which provides
reception in dense foliage.
Tip: Max/Hyper Track does not allow for phase collection.
High precision points should be collected in Max
Accuracy.
• Mask Angle: Is the angle above the horizon which
determines the cutoff for tracking satellites.
Remember: Because a greater distance through the
atmosphere must be penetrated for low
elevation satellites, a default of 10 degrees is
preset and recommended as a minimum!
