14.7.4. Base and Rover Configuration

Try these first

1. 1.

   What is the role of a base station?

   Hint

   Think about its position and function.

2. 2.

   What does the rover do in GNSS surveying?

   Hint

   Consider its mobility.

3. 3.

   What is the main function of a base station in GNSS?

   • Collects data
   • Provides corrections
   • Monitors weather

   Hint

   Consider what function is critical for the rover's performance.

4. 4.

   True or False: A rover operates in a fixed position.

   • True
   • False

   Hint

   Think about how rovers operate differently than base stations.

5. 5.

   Suppose a surveyor sets up a base station but forgot to calibrate it. Describe the potential impact this would have on the rover's data collection.

   Hint

   Consider the role of calibration in measuring instruments.

6. 6.

   You are tasked with setting up a GNSS survey using a base and rover configuration in a forested area. Outline the steps you would take to ensure reliable data collection despite potential signal disruptions.

   Hint

   Think about how location and equipment choice affect signal quality.
