GS 609 Surveying with Satellites
Winter Quarter, 2005
Lab Assignment No. 6
Submitted: March 03, 2005
Due: March 11, 2005
Using the TGO handout (posted on class web-page) and instructions given to you
in class use the Trimble Geomatics Office software to process the GPS data collected this
week.
STATIC MODE:
1. Use the static data set collected with Trimble 5700 receivers where new base
station is 41150620 (“arbitrary base”) with RINEX files: 41150620.05o and
41150620.05n, and Rover-2 (DL-4 NovAtel) 00160620 with RINEX files:
00160620.05o and 00160620.05n. The antenna heights are: 1.80 m to the bottom
of the antenna mount at the “arbitrary base” station and 1.49 m to the bottom of
the antenna mount at the Rover-2 (DL-4 NovAtel). The antenna types are “Zephyr
Geodetic” for the “arbitrary base” and NovAtel 600 for Rover-2.
2. Use the differential processing mode: select the “L1 fixed” (performing a fixed
integers solution) for your data processing; save your results. The objective is to
determine the ancillary base station, named “arbitrary base”, which in this case is
a new base (arbitrary), and we want to determine coordinates for the rover station
(Rover-2, DL-4 NovAtel) Note that coordinates of “arbitrary base” do not need to
be modified! (Just mark them as control quality only!)
3. After the data processing has been completed, create a full Project Report
including plots of residuals, satellite tracking summary at stations and singledifferenced summary etc.
4. Enclose the printout of the Report for the solution types that you performed (L1fixed). Discuss your results in terms of coordinates for Rover-1 and Rover-2
solution from lab5 and 6. Note that Rover-1 and Rover-2 are in the same location,
but they were processed w.r.t. different base station!
KINEMATIC MODE:
1. Use the static data set collected with Trimble 5700 receiver where base station is
at PARK CFM.
PARK is the base station and its coordinates in WGS-84 frame are:
  3959'58''.2894
  83 02' 27 ''.2423
h  208.650  m

2. Using the data collected (vehicle) with DL-4 NovAtel receiver in a kinematic
mode process a “L1 fixed” solution with respect to PARK. Note: use correct
antenna height/type. Plot the trajectory (the instruction is given below) and GPS
vector report of all baselines.
3. Baseline report and GPS Vector report
 GPS Vector report includes point name, vector component as well as the RMS.
Baseline report contains the baseline computing detail and satellite information.
 Select All.
 Hit Reports/Custom Reports/GPS Vectors to create a GPS vector report.
 Print out this GPS vector report.
Note: You can only select ONE baseline when you attempt to generate a Baseline Report.
If you choose more than one baselines, this menu will be disappeared.
4. Plot the trajectory
