Setting a Base to Generate Data Streams on its Ethernet Port
This page is an abridged version of the Base Setup-Full Setup page only showing the settings required to configure a base for generating data streams on its Ethernet port (ports I1 to I9).
These groups of parameters are detailed below.
Base
Use this area to enter the position of the base.
Parameter |
Designation |
$PASHS |
---|---|---|
Dynamic |
Necessarily static. |
DYN |
Station ID |
Choose and enter a station ID for your reference station, according to the type of differential messages it will generate: • 0-1023 (RTCM 2.3) • 0-4095 (RTCM 3.x and ATOM) • 0-31 (CMR & CMR+) |
STI |
“Get current position” button |
Click on this button if you want to allocate the last position computed by the receiver as the reference position for the base. As a result, the Lat/Lon/Height fields below are updated with the coordinates of this last computed position. |
CPD,MOD |
Latitude Longitude Ellipsoid Height |
Latitude, longitude and ellipsoidal height defining the reference position of the base. May be entered manually or using the “Get Current position” button. |
POS |
Antenna
Use this area to define the parameters of the antenna used physically at the base, as well as a virtual antenna if necessary. A virtual antenna may be defined to allow the base to deliver raw data as if it were collected with this antenna.
See the description of each parameter in the table below.
Parameter |
Designation |
$PASHS |
---|---|---|
Reference Position |
Select one of the options below to define the physical location of the base: • L1 phase center • Antenna Reference Point (ARP) • Ground mark |
ANR |
Measurement Type |
Specify the type of measurement (“Slant” or “Vertical”) through which the above antenna height was measured. |
ANH |
Antenna Height |
Enter the measured antenna height according to the measurement type used and the selected distance unit. |
ANT or ANH |
Receiver antenna |
Select the name of the antenna used at the base. This antenna name can only be chosen from a list of antenna names stored in the receiver. UNKNOWN, NULLANTENNA, ADVNULLANTENNA are special definitions of antennas typically used as virtual antennas. |
ANP,OWN |
Antenna Radius |
(Only if “Slant Height” measurement type selected). Enter the antenna radius according to the selected distance unit. |
ANT |
SHMP Offset |
(Only if “Slant Height” measurement type selected). Enter the vertical offset of the Slant Height Measurement Point for the antenna used by the rover. Take care to enter this parameter in the selected distance unit. See also the Note below. |
ANT |
Virtual Antenna |
This parameter allows you to define a virtual antenna: • Select “Off” if you do not want to define one • If you want one, select the virtual antenna name for which you would like the receiver to deliver raw data, i.e. as if the raw data had been collected using this antenna. This antenna name can only be chosen from a list of antenna names stored in the receiver. NULLANTENNA, ADVNULLANTENNA, etc. are the most commonly used virtual antennas. |
ANP,OUT |
Satellites
Use this area to define the constellations tracked by the base as well as the elevation mask applied to all constellations. See the description of each parameter in the table below.
Parameter |
Designation |
$PASHS |
---|---|---|
Recording and Output Elevation Mask |
Enter the elevation mask, in degrees, used by the receiver to determine which raw/differential data from each visible satellite should be recorded or output, depending on the elevation of the satellite. No data from any visible satellite located below this elevation angle will be recorded or output. |
ELM |
GPS |
Check this button to enable GPS tracking. Clear it otherwise. |
GPS |
GLONASS |
Check this button to enable GLONASS tracking (requires installed S option). Clear it otherwise. |
GLO |
SBAS |
Check this button to enable SBAS tracking.Clear it otherwise. |
SBA |
QZSS |
Check this button to enable QZSS tracking.Clear it otherwise. |
QZS |
GALILEO |
Check this button to enable GALILEO tracking.Clear it otherwise. |
GAL |
Ethernet Streaming
Use this area to configure the I1 to I9 ports of the receiver as well as the type of data delivered through these ports. Each port can support up to ten connections simultaneously. Define the following parameters for each port:
Parameter |
Designation |
$PASHS |
---|---|---|
Port Ix |
Click this option if the port is to be used. If the port is to be idle, keep the option cleared. |
DST |
Mode |
Specify whether the port will be used in Server or Client mode: • In Client mode, you will choose the remote server with which the base will communicate through an IP connection. • In Server mode, the base will make its output data available for any remote client allowed to communicate with it through an IP connection. |
DST |
Protocol |
Specify whether the IP connection will be using the TCP or UDP protocol. |
DST |
IP Address |
If the port is used in Client mode, enter the IP address of the remote server with which the port will communicate. This field is irrelevant if you select the Server mode. |
DST |
IP Port |
If the port is used in Client mode, enter the port number of the remote server with which the port will communicate. If it’s used in Server mode, enter the port number of the port you are currently setting. |
DST |
Message Type |
Choose from the list below the type of message routed through the port: • None: no data delivered through the port. • ATOM • RTCM3.x • RTCM2.3 • CMR • CMR+ • DBEN Place the mouse cursor over the ”I” sign (to the right of the Message Type drop-down list) to read the details of the currently set messages. |
