To measure a tilt-compensated point

Before measuring compensated points you must calibrate the tilt sensor and magnetometer in the GNSS receiver. See To calibrate the sensors in the receiver.

  1. Tap and select Measure / Measure points, or in the map, with nothing selected, tap Measure.
  2. Enter the Point name and, if required, the Code.

  3. If the selected code has attributes, the Attrib softkey appears. Tap Attrib and fill out the attribute fields. See To enter attribute values when measuring a point. Tap Store.

  4. Select Compensated point from the Method field.
  5. Enter a value in the Antenna height field and make sure that the setting in the Measured to field is set appropriately.
  6. To configure the quality control and precision settings, tap Options.

    The precisions shown reflect the amount of tilt of the antenna. If measuring points with large amounts of tilt, you may need to increase the precision tolerance setting.

  7. Position the antenna and make sure it is stationary.

    The eBubble shows the amount of tilt of the antenna.

    An "Excess tilt" message appears in the status bar and the eBubble turns red if the tilt exceeds 15 degrees. If you can, level up the antenna so there is less tilt. If you are unable to decrease the tilt to less than 15 degrees, perform an offset measurement instead. See To compute a point.

  8. Tap Measure. The compensated point icon appears in the status bar. The eBubble changes to help you hold the antenna stationary.
  9. When the preset occupation time and precisions have been reached, tap Store.

    To accept the measurement before the occupation time or precisions have been satisfied, tap Enter.
