How to Check if the Ranging Pole is Normal with Oscar Receiver and Nuwa App?

As we all know, RTK positioning accuracy can reach the centimeter level. If we want to get accurate results, we should make sure to eliminate systemic errors, especially the error caused by the ranging pole. If we were in the field and got inaccurate results, it is likely to be a problem with the ranging pole. Maybe the pole is bent, or the leveling bubble needs to be calibrated. There is a simple way to check whether the ranging pole is normal with Oscar receiver and Nuwa app in the field.

1. Mount the Oscar to the pole, configure it to Rover mode, and get a Fixed solution in Nuwa.
2. Measure a point in "Survey" interface of Nuwa, then keep the pole tip at that point, rotate 90 degrees and measure it again. Repeat three times to get four points in "Point" of Nuwa.
3. Compare the location of the four points in the "Survey" interface. If they're randomly distributed, and the distance between the two of them is around 2 cm, it means the pole is normal. If they are very regularly distributed and the distance between them is too large, please measure four times again for confirmation. If the situation keeps the same, there may be something wrong with the ranging pole, better change to a good one.

It is laid out with visualized toolbars and logical icons to easily handle GNSS data processing, baseline processing and network adjustment, etc. It is the software set to import, update and analyze data effectively.  Watch the video to know how to do data processing after static surveying data collection with NeoRTK.  Learn more, click here .  Inquiry, click here . 

How to Use Oscar to Collect Static Data for A Given Length of Time

Usually, we need to collect static data for a given length of time, for example, 2 hours. In the past, the surveyor had to record the start time and keep an eye on the clock all the time. The function of setting the static collection duration in Oscar GNSS Receiver can solve this problem. When setting the static survey, the surveyor only needs to enter the duration time, then start it, and no more attention will be required. When the time is up, Oscar will automatically stop recording, with no fewer or more data. Now we show you how to set the Oscar static collection duration on the OLED display of Oscar. 1. Turn on the Oscar, press the Power ON/OFF button and Function (FN) button, and go to Mode Config -> Static. The default option of Static is OFF, and you can press the Function (FN) button to switch it to “Auto” or “Manual”. 2. Go to Duration to set the collection time, for example, 120 minutes. 3. Set other options, then choose “Confirm”, and it will start to collect st...

What is CORS network? How to connect to CORS network with external Bluetooth module and mobile phone?

A CORS is a Continuously Operating Reference Station. The CORS is an appealing way to do RTK due to its convenience and large coverage area. While Tersus Precis-BX305 currently does not support build-in NTRIP client feature. An alternative way to connect CORS network is employing external Bluetooth module and a cellphone. Here is a detailed procedure about how to connect to CORS Network with Precis-BX305 board.  Demonstration of connecting Precis BX305 to CORS Network Hardware & Software Requirement Precis-BX305 GNSS antenna GNSS antenna cable  External Bluetooth module Bluetooth cable Cell phone (android system) 5V DC charger Software required Ntrip client (free android apps)    Connect to CORS Network Please follow below steps.  Connect GNSS antenna to Precis-BX305. Connect external Bluetooth module to either COM1 or COM2 of the board Connect to power supplier and plug in/turn on the power Turn on the Bluetooth of the mobil...
