the Survey Status screen, Figure 3.68.
The
Survey Status screen provides information on the status of our survey during the
data collection period. From this screen, monitor the following observation quality
indicators:
•
Elapsed - The Elapsed field displays the amount of time passed since the data
collection session started.
Note: The Remain time counter is displayed in Kinematic mode only during
a point initialization. Otherwise the Elapsed time counter is displayed.
• # Sats - The #Sats field displays the current number of healthy satellites above a
10
° elevation being logged into memory. Periods of low satellite number will
require more data to be collected for a successful observation. This can be a good
indicator of the effect of obstructions at the survey site at any given time during
data collection.
•
PDOP - The PDOP field displays the PDOP value at any given time, computed
from all observed healthy satellites above a 10
° elevation. Periods of high PDOP
will require more data to be collected for a successful observation. This can be a
good indicator of the effect of obstructions at the survey site at any given time
during data collection.
In addition to the survey status information, the
Survey Status screen also presents
the same power and memory status displays found on the
Satellite Status screen.
