2 base/kinematic
Posted By John Lance on 9/1/2001 at 11:05 AM

I've been driving Linda & Richard crazy (sorry!) trying to figure out this problem:
Anyone else having problems synchronizing with 2 base units on kinematic sessions....i.e. not getting "New Receiver Detected" message and not always successfully synchronizing with one of the bases?

John,

And let me begin by saying if I'm wrong then I've been very lucky and SOMEBODY WILL CORRECT ME.

The only thing that is really sync'd is the 48 with the rover.

First set Base one to the recording interval you intend to use on the rover, 2 seconds and up...two is preferred in my mind. Then do the same for Base 2. Yes at each of these you have to sync with the unit with the G-B (from memory) key sequence. Then set the recording interval with another key sequence(don't remember it right now)

Lastly sync with the rover , set the recording interval to match the bases and set the K. alarm on, annoying but useful.

This should work.

I believe the outlined prodedure is to first sync with all the base station, set your recording interval, begin logging the base stations as a "static point", and record the HI, Site ID, & Desc. Visit each base station, and log all the bases as a "static point".

Then visit the Rover, Sync, record your HI, initialize in K mode, and begin roving.

I've used 3 base stations before, and this seems to work quite well.

I'm not sure that sync'ing with all the bases in even required, unless you need to change the recording interval. I'd assume that you can still manually enter HI, Desc, etc ... into Solutions. The program should automatically recognize any static point, running simultaneously, as base station, and process all available vectors.

It's not necessary to sychronize the HP with the first LOCUS static BASE (the one without the Kinematic Bar), but I would recommend sycnhronizing with the first BASE, because synchronizing with the first BASE allows the user to enter the antenna height and site ID into the D-file.

We have a sample data set and a 2-BASE 1 Kinematic ROVER procedures document here if anyone is interested.
