Dual Receiver GNSS Heading

[JAVAD Support]

Dual independent receiver Heading feature is based on the 'Moving Base' function, where two GNSS receivers are required in a Master / Slave configuration.
The Master GNSS receiver is configured to provide RTK correction over a serial port, or TCPO Wi-Fi, to the Slave GNSS Receiver.
The Slave GNSS receiver then computes a baseline carrier phase (RTK) vector solution for the two independent antennas.

Before operation, confirm that the receivers have the Heading/Attitude Determination (OCTO) OAF option installed and activated.

OK, I'll bite. Is this in the rover? Does this mean this is how a IMU determines direction, for a tilted pole, to determine the coord. at the tip of the rod, with a known Height of Rod?
Or what? Curiosity killed the cat....

Hello Nate,
'Moving Base' is used for vehicle applications, to provide a true-north heading vector between the 'primary and 'secondary' antennas.
It is not applicable to 'static survey' applications.

For 'survey', the RTK vector between the 'base position' and 'rover observation' can be used if required.
