Introduction 1 Introduction What is the ProMark2 Survey System? ProMark2 is a complete GPS system providing both navigation and precision surveying. The ProMark2 system, Figure 1.1, includes two or more ProMark2 GPS receivers, GPS antennas, and all ancillary components required to get you up and running and producing quality survey data in a minimum amount of time. Please note that the kinematic initialization bar (Figure 3.27), which is currently included in systems containing two or thre

The ProMark2 System operates in conjunction with Ashtech Solutions, Thales Navigation’s highly-automated GPS post-processing engine. Ashtech Solutions is a complete, easy-to-use software package which manages and processes raw GPS data, deriving precise positioning data and presenting the results in easily understood report formats. Items Supplied with ProMark2 The items supplied with ProMark2 are described in the following paragraphs. ProMark2 GPS Receiver The ProMark2 GPS receiver, Figu

Introduction External GPS Antenna The external GPS antenna, Figure 1.3, is required for surveying functions. While the built-in antenna is sufficient for navigation, a more sophisticated external antenna is required to obtain quality data for precision surveying. The external GPS antenna is the physical data collection point for the raw GPS satellite data. For this reason, it must be accurately positioned over the point to be surveyed, using a standard tripod or fixed-height GPS tripod.

Vertical Antenna Extension The vertical antenna extension, Figure 1.5, provides clearance for the antenna cable when the antenna is mounted on a tripod. The length is 3 inches (0.0762 m). Figure 1.5 Vertical Antenna Extension Field Receiver Bracket The field receiver bracket, Figure 1.6, serves a number of functions. First, it provides the means for mounting the ProMark2 GPS receiver to the tripod. Second, it lends support for the external GPS antenna cable connection to the back of t

Introduction HI (Height of Instrument) Measurement Tape The HI measurement tape, Figure 1.7, is used to measure height of the GPS antenna over the survey point. The end of the tape hooks onto the antenna. The tape is extended until the spike on the tape case is on the point. Then the height of the antenna is noted on the tape. Figure 1.7 HI Measurement Tape Field Bag The field bag, Figure 1.8, is used to transport the components of each ProMark2 GPS receiver system between th
