Coordinate system name is required to define the coordinate system name,
and it is recommended to use the project name as the coordinate system
name.
14
Projection: There are some built-in common projection methods of different

countries and regions, including Gauss projection, Transverse Mercator
projection, UTM projection and so on. And the parameters of the projection
model are displayed in the interface. Only the central meridian are needed to
change usually, which refers to the central meridian of the plane projection.
The average latitude of the survey area needs to be input here for a custom
coordinate system, requesting the latitude error less than 30 minutes.
15
Datum Trans: Represents the mathematical model for transformation between

two coordinate systems. Datum transformation model includes none parameter,
three parameters, seven parameters models. You can input the local seven
parameters directly if they have, no needing the site calibration any more.
7 parameters: Requires having three known points at least, and the points can
16
be under the national coordinate system or the coordinate system that existing
small rotation from the WGS84 coordinate system. Preferably three or more
points are known so that checking the correctness of the known points. The
mathematical model of this method is strict, and therefore it is critical to the
precision of the known points. This method is usually used in a wide-range
work. When known point accuracy is not high, seven parameters
transformation is not recommended.
3 parameters: Requires having having one known point at least, and the
points can be under the national coordinate system or the coordinate system
that existing small rotation from the WGS84 coordinate system. Preferably two
or more points are known so that checking the correctness of the known points.
This method is suitable small-range work, of which accuracy is determined by
the operating range. The larger the operating range, the lower the accuracy.
Plane Adjustment: The calibration parameters will be displayed on the
interface of the coordinate system parameters after site calibration and
application, and you can check them through your login successfully. This icon
supports Best Practice and Grid at present.
17
Height Fitting: Supports four kinds of algorithms: Fixed Difference, Plane

Fitting, Surface Fitting and Best Practice, of which None is the default one.
Fixed Difference: Need at least one starting point, and support GGF file.
Plane Fitting: Generate a best-fit plane for the abnormal height of many
benchmarks. It equates the fixed difference method when the fitted plane is
parallel to the horizontal plane. This method needs at least three starting points.
Surface Fitting: Generates a best-fit para bolide for the abnormal height of
many benchmarks. It has high requirements for the starting data. It may cause
divergence of the elevation corrections if the fitting level is too poor. This
method needs at least five starting points.
Best Practice: Best Practice is the height transformation model of Trimble
TGO software. It includes five parameters, North origin (Origin N), East origin
(Origin E), North slope, East slope and elevation constant.
Geoid model: Click to choose the geoid model file if select this method. The
software currently supports the geoid model file of GGF format.

Slant H: The height from the ground point to static measurement tick mark
(X91+ is the blue rubber ring, i80 is the receiver bottom) of receiver, usually
this height is needed when setting up the receiver on a tripod.
Method: Consist of Topographic PT, Control PT, Quick PT, Continuous PT,
Eccentric PT and Compensate PT.
Continuous PT: Continuously survey points automatically according to a

preset fixed time period or space distance.
Eccentric PT: When you cannot reach the target point, this function is helpful.
Input the azimuth angle between the target point and the current position (You
can measure the current point and any point on the direction of the target point,
62
and get the angle by calculation function on Tools menu), horizontal distance,
vertical distance (If the target point is higher than the current point, input a
positive value; if lower, input a negative value).
Compensate PT: When the range pole/level is tilted, the survey result will be
automatically compensated to normal level condition. The survey result is of
the location of the range pole bottom (This function is only available with those
RTK receiver with tilt survey function, compass and Ebubble calibration should
be done before available).
Note: Before surveying, you should set options. Go to Options, set the
Horizontal Precision to be higher than the value of H, Vertical Precision to
be higher than the value of V. If the current solution is non-fixed (say float or
DGPS or 3D/single point), but you want to go ahead with the point collection
procedure, please un-tick Fixed Solution. If the rover receiver keeps static,
but it reminds movement of the rover receiver (If you find the coordinate is
changing a lot while the rover receiver keeps static), this could be caused by
site calibration/localization error.
