How to check the signal strength on Oscar screen

Today we are going to introduce a hidden feature of Tersus Oscar receiver -- How to check the signal strength on Oscar screen.

Usually, we can insert a sim card to Oscar and work with receiver network mode.



If we work in the field, and fail to configure Oscar to rover mode, we can check if the signal strength of the network is good enough on Oscar screen. Here are the steps:

1. Press the Power ON/OFF button and Function (FN) button, go to Device info. Make sure the Cellular is on. The Cellular will not be turned on automatically when Oscar is turned on, you can configure Oscar to rover network mode to turn on it.



2. Go to Device Info-Cellular to check the signal strength.



The following is a rough guide to signal strength (dBm):
• -50 to -40 means an excellent signal (your Oscar is close to a base station).
• -60 to -50 indicates a very good signal.
• -70 to -60 shows good signal.
• -80 to -70 means less weak signals.
• -90 to -80 shows weak signal.
• Above -90 indicates basic communication is possible.
• Under -90 means your Oscar network connection may be intermittent.

Note: The cellular frequencies of different telecommunications operator may be different, please make sure that the frequencies of your sim card match with Oscar.

    Hi, i have Oscar Basic. Normaly i use the phone app and net of the phone to work, and start ntrip with option "Pda Network" and work great. Here my question... i will put my Sim card on the Oscar Basic to start the Ntrip, then i have to start "Receiver Network"... its possible to the Oscar automacaly know already have the Sim card?! How can i do to start with Sim card on Oscar!?
    A little help please ;)

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...

Three Typical Situations of Earthwork Measurement

  Three Typical Situations of Earthwork Measurement Tips for earthwork measurement under different circumstances with Tersus Oscar GNSS receiver and NUWA APP Earthwork calculations are essential in many survey projects, but the complexity of measurement and calculations causes many new engineers headaches. In general, earthwork calculation is divided into two parts: excavation and filling, which can also be simply understood as volume and capacity calculation. The following are the Tips for using the Tersus Oscar GNSS receiver and NUWA App for earthwork measurement under different circumstances. The powerful earthwork calculation function of the NUWA app can calculate the result and quickly; you only need to import the survey points and then input the reference altitude. Notes for measurement: When measuring points, we should measure as many points on the surface of the object as possible. The density of survey points needs to be strengthened in places where the terrain changes sig...
