I am using the Triumph LS+ and Triumph 3 with all four (4) satellite constellations and cellular communication. My Triumph LS+ is updated with all the new pre-release software. I've been using the RTPK the last month or so and pretty satisfied with it thus far. I'm wanting to optimize my production and curious to see the settings everyone else uses and see if I'm doing something that is holding me up. Feel free to let me know if I need to change something.

My Settings
General Group (T3 TCP Base):
Advanced >
GNSS >
  • Sytems & Signals Tracking = All available
Elevation Mask = 10 degrees
  • Time System = GPS
  • Reject In-Band Interference = Checked
  • Tracking Loops = Very Fast *Curious to see if I need to go to just Fast or Medium?
  • Tracking Mode = Guided *I see some people using independent. What is the difference and which is better?
  • Timing Signals = All are default *Do I need to change any of these?
  • SBAS Code Diff Position = Checked
RTK/DGPS >
  • RTK Rate = 0.2 Sec *Is there better results by slowing down to 0.5 Sec or 1 Sec?
  • Use data for up to = None
  • Data UpSampling = Checked
  • Engine 3D Guard = 0.2 ft
  • Advanced RTK Settings >
Reset Tracking = 60 Sec​
Smart Reset = Checked​
Use Beidou Geostationary Satellites = Checked​
Engine 1 = All default except for Min SNR = 35 *This is pretty big as I've seen a lot of differences in the number of satellites especially if you go above 35, it seems to not recognize as many.​
Engine 2 = All default except for Min SNR = 30 *Same as Engine 1​
Engine 3 = All default except for Min SNR = 30 *Same as Engine 1​
Engine 4 = All default except for Min SNR = 30 *Same as Engine 1​
*Does changing the AFCL to High (99.9%) or Low (95%) change my results significantly? ​
*Max signals are all 38, does this need to change?​
*Reset it from Far from STDL are all 20.0. What does this mean and does it need to change?​

Antenna, TCP Server, Remote FTP Server, Units, Real-time Position-Shift, and Base Reference Frame >
  • Are defaulted or set to personal preference.
Action Setup (Boundary):

How to stop >
  • Automatic after = 90 Epochs
  • Minimum Duration = 90 Sec
  • Maximum Duration = 600 Sec
  • Auto Accept H = 0.049 ft V = 0.23 ft
  • Auto Re-Start
Verify >
  • Verify with Engines Reset
  • Minimum Phase-1 Duration = 30 Sec
  • Confidence Level = 5
  • Confidence Guard = 0.131 / 0.23
  • Show on Screen = 6 Groups
  • Consistency Level = 0
  • Min RTK Engines = At least 1
  • Validate Result = with at least 1 Engine
  • Reset Engines at Start = Checked
Activate DPOS option after = 10 Min

Options >
  • Auto Setup RTK = 25 Sec *What do I need to change it to?
  • Enable Post-Processing on the device = Checked
  • Correct for Tilts = Checked
  • Prefer RTPK = Unchecked
  • The rest are personal Preference
The rest are Personal Preference.

In GNSS collect data Mode -

  • Independent or Conventional? Don't know really which to use? I've been using Conventional.
  • In Auto Setup Strategy
    • Strategy = System Based *What exactly does this mean? I sometimes swap these up and it seems to help with getting a fix one way or the other.
    • No Same Frequency = Unchecked *It's always unchecked. Do I need to check it?
    • Use AltBOC Galileo and Use AltBOC BeiDou = Checked
Under Base/Rover Settings -

  • Format = RTCM 3.2 MSM3 *Do I need to change?
  • Signals = same as before
  • Base Guard = Default
  • DPOS Configuration
    • Process All raw GNSS Points = Checked *I was reading where I need to probably uncheck while using RTPK?
    • Preferable Network = CORS (US)
    • Base-Rover + Base Cors Processing = Checked
    • Advanced
      • Use Data UpSampling in CORS Processing = Checked
      • Use DEBUG Server to Process Data = Uncheck *Do I need to Check it?
  • Broadcast Period = 0.2 Sec *Do I need to change?
  • The rest are Personal Preference
If I could get some answers to these questions or comments about any of these that would be really helpful.

Thanks in advance.

I haven't heard from anyone yet. I went over a lot, was hoping someone would at least answer a few of these. I just got my TLS+ back in May and not too familiar with these settings. I would at least like to know a detailed description of what some of this stuff means, then maybe I could make some decisions based on what I'm trying to accomplish. I don't think there are any manuals out on this stuff yet. So basically its just trial and error until you figure something out. That's a lot of trial and error. It would take you a while to go through all of the different options and set it up the way you want. I've figured out a few things, buts there's so much more to learn. Just need a little help.
