Figure 3.2: Setting up Rover and Base units in SingularPad.

Setting up Rover and Base (for Base + Rover mode):

1. Ensure you have two E1 Lite GNSS receivers. Designate one as the base and the other as the rover.
2. Connect both to your PDA device via Bluetooth.
3. Place both your E1 Lite base and rover in an open view no debesīm.
4. Connect the whip antenna to both E1 Lite base and rover.
5. Setting up the Base: Connect E1 Lite base to your PDA, go to Device >> Base. Par Base Startup Mode, you can input known point coordinates or select Viens punkts mode for automatic setup. Set Datalink as Internal Radio, and customize radio channels, frequency, and protocol. Save settings and Start Base.
6. Setting up the Rover: Disconnect E1 Lite base and connect to the rover in the software. Go to Device >> Rover, komplekts Datu saite as Internal Radio. Match and set the same protocol and frequency as the base setting. Click Kolekcija to save settings and click Pieteikties.

4. Lietošanas instrukcijas

4.1 Darba režīmi

The E1 Lite GNSS RTK system supports two primary working modes:

• Base + Rover Mode: Provides millimeter-level positioning. Compatible with base stations of other brands. Not subject to network and regional restrictions.
• Rover + CORS Mode: Provides centimeter-level positioning. Requires a network signal. CORS account is not included and must be purchased from your local CORS provider.

Figure 4.1: E1 Lite Working Modes.

4.2 Working with CORS/RTK Correction Service

To utilize the CORS/RTK correction service, ensure you have purchased a CORS/RTK Correction Service account in your local area. Your PDA device (phone/tablet/data collector) must have network access and support Bluetooth connection. Place your E1 Lite GNSS receiver in an open view no debesīm.

1. Open SingularPad software.
2. Noklikšķiniet "Communication" and connect to your E1 Lite receiver's SN via Bluetooth.
3. Noklikšķiniet Saņem to obtain Mount-Point list and select appropriate one. Click Sākt un Pieteikties.
4. Noklikšķiniet "Rover". Iestatiet Datu saite as Phone Internet. Then go to Savienojuma režīms and fill in your CORS/RTK Correction Service account details.

4.3 Viewing RTK Positioning Status

After completing your E1 Lite RTK setup, check the current RTK solution status in the upper left corner of the SingularPad software:

• FIXED: E1 Lite is receiving corrections stably and obtaining a Fixed RTK solution with centimeter-level accuracy. Typically, E1 Lite achieves a Fixed RTK solution in a few seconds under good environments.
• PLŪDĪT: E1 Lite receives corrections from the base/CORS, but due to obstructions or magnetic field interference, the signal reception is not very stable and the accuracy is sub-meter level. In tougher conditions, it may take a bit longer to achieve FIXED status.
• AUTONOMS: Single-point satellite positioning without receiving RTK correction data. The accuracy is around meter-level.

Padoms: Before surveying, make sure E1 Lite has a clear sky, free from obstacles like buildings, trees, cars, and more.

4.4. Papildfunkcijas

• 60° Tilt Surveying: The E1 Lite GNSS Surveying System with IMU initializes in 5 seconds and supports tilt measurements up to 60°, compatible with regular 5/8" thread poles. This allows for surveying in challenging locations without needing perfect vertical alignment.
• 5 Kilometers UHF Range: The radio range between the rover and the base can reach 5 kilometers (3.1 miles). The E1 Lite is compatible with base stations of other brands in both Radio and CORS mode and supports RTCM v3/CMR correction data transmission.
• Robust Signal Tracking: Supports Full-Constellation Tracking (GPS/GLONASS/Galileo/BDS/QZSS/IRNSS/SBAS etc.), allowing for fixed RTK solutions in seconds even in challenging environments like multipath, trees, and city canyons.
• Easy Data Download via Web UI: Access E1's WiFi to conduct static data download, firmware upgrade, and configuration via its web lapā.

6. Traucējummeklēšana

If you encounter issues with your E1 Lite GNSS RTK Surveying Equipment, consider the following common points:

• Savienojuma problēmas: Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on both the data collector and the receiver. Verify that the correct device type and manufacturer are selected in the SingularPad software. Try restarting both devices.
• Poor Accuracy/No Fixed Solution:
  • Ensure the receiver has a clear view of the sky, free from obstructions like buildings, dense trees, or large metal objects.
  • Check the status indicator on the device and in the SingularPad software (refer to Section 4.3).
  • Verify that the base station (if in Base+Rover mode) or CORS service (if in Rover+CORS mode) is active and providing corrections.
  • Confirm that the radio frequency and protocol settings match between the base and rover units.
• Akumulatora darbības laiks: Ensure devices are fully charged before use. Check the battery indicator in the SingularPad software.
