OPUS static with Access and a TSC5

I have had several people ask about how to start astatic survey using a TSC5. Thought I would just build a quick how to video. Nothing with me is quick anymore lol...

Nice quality on the video Robert! Thanks for the tutorial!

Trying to teach someone all the things about gnss surveying can be really tough. Some people get it. Most dont. Ive met licensed surveyors who dont know some very basic stuff about rtk. Ive tried to teach several people. I think now I finally have one that the light bulb is starting to turn on.

Looking good friend!

I really loved surveying, did it for 7 years. My boss was a cheapskate though and was still using stuff from the 90s, didnt care that i could do more work in less time with better equipment and make the company more money, Had to quit before i lost my mind, havent surveyed in 3 years now.

Get back in it! Money is getting better.

What if u dont have tbc completely unlocked.. and u have to send to opus

[@johndogg47]

just got the R12i and this was very helpful Robert. We have to do some remote topo surveys with no available control. Can this method be used for any position we setup the base?

[@TroubledKiwi]

Uhh. You have the lever extension selected. 2m+ lever extension, the imput height is what you measure the hypotunse distance to the lever extension. You cant put 2m in your case here because that will be in correct, since the measurement is a actually longer

[@SurveyingWithRobert]

LOL… Surveyors! We over think everything. Fixed Ht tripod is 2 meters (6.562ft). What am I measuring? The lever extension is for a tripod. Maybe if I pulled a tape but I am not.

[@TroubledKiwi]

​​@@SurveyingWithRobertFor your base, it has the lever extension piece on it? 6.562ft is 2m, but you're telling access it's 2m to the lever of the extension when it's actually like 2.02m or whatever at that height. If you don't measure then you should use bottom of quick release, 2m+ the height of the lever extension bracket (.15m?)

[@SurveyingWithRobert]

@TroubledKiwi if I measure with a tape maybe. You are overthinking it. Nothing is or needs to be corrected. The center mast is 2m. The software knows the height of the lever extension and the phase center of the antenna which is where the measurement actually goes to. You can see this in the raw data. With the older antennas you had a special rod to measure with. Also at 2m height there is not enough slant to correct like if you were 4ft off the ground.

[@TroubledKiwi]

@@SurveyingWithRobert indeed likely the answer in similar within reason at the end. I would be curious what the HI difference is if you set it 2m@ lever extension or [e-mail] quick release when using the lever extension. I'll have to look, it's probably small.

[@SurveyingWithRobert]

@@TroubledKiwi I would think it would be. Maybe I do a short on that.
