Am trying to understand the Hiper V system and how to use it to produce constant static data so the maps we produce could be more accurate using GCP points in a given area. We have Cors stations to connect to but are not sure how to calibrate the Hiper V with the FC-500 to it to produce the accurate Gps data that we require. Our field surveys are done using a rover and a base station and then using the FC-500 to link the two. We do not use an active control point and all our coordinates are based solely off of these instruments. Is there a generic workflow that we can follow before we conduct our surveys and after for post processing.
Are you asking how to collect static data with the base receiver? This data can then be sent to OPUS or incorporated into your own post-processing.
Once the receiver is turned on, you can capture static data (provided a SD card is installed in the receiver) by pressing the power button rapidly three times. This will collect at one second intervals.
Appreciate the reply sir, and yes I was asking how to record static data using the topcon hiper v. Also after getting that data how do I make it usable say also for the GCP's that Im also taking with the rtk. Because the FC-500 records those gcps as well. Sorry for the questions just sort of in a desperate spot at the moment.
So what Im trying to say is that I get the file that I have sent for post processing back and then what do with the GCPs that have also been recorded on the FC-500, using the rover?
And is there any preprocessing that needs to be done before the survey is carried out?
To record static data on a HiPer V, or HiPer II, or GR-5 or GR-3 you would need to install a formatted SD card in to the slot on the receiver.
There is no particular special requirement for these cards, though you probably need to limit the card size to 2 Gb for a GR-3.
The later receivers such as the HiPer V will use cards up to 32 Gb capacity but I would look for the smallest capacity card I could find. These days, anything less than 4 Gb is unusual.
You will need to format the card(s) in a card reader on, or connected to, your computer. The receiver will not do that.
Then you would want to set the recording interval on the receiver using the functions for that in Topcon Receiver Utility [TRU]. For your own post processing, you will need to have Topcon's software, or some other software capable of post-processing dual frequency data. The current software for that from Topcon is Magnet Office Tools GPS Post Processing.
I would recommend a 5 second interval. I am not certain if OPUS will post process data for you in your location.
Your asking questions that appear to me that you got no training or have very little GPS experience. It sounds harsh but it seems like you need more help than you will get from this forum.
Jerry,
The GR-3 and GR-5 actually do re-format the SD card. In fact if you place an SD card from your camera in the GR-3/5, you will loose the camera photos. Also note that the format is not Windows. I don't know what format it is, maybe Linux.... Your PC can not read the card unless you have installed Topcon Tools or Magnet Tools. When you place the SD card in a PC, Windows will prompt you that this needs to formatted. Do not format it.
The HiPer II and V are using windows formatted SD cards.
