2.4 Concepts About RTK
2.4.1 Overview
Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) is a GNSS positioning technique used to improve the
accuracy of a standalone GNSS receiver.
Traditional GNSS receivers, like the one in a smartphone, could only determine the
position with 2–4 meters (7– 13 feet) accuracy. RTK can give you centimeter
accuracy.
GNSS receivers measure how long it takes for a signal to travel from a satellite to the
receiver. Transmitted signals travel through the ionosphere and atmosphere and are
slowed down and affected on the way. For example, travel time on a cloudy day and
in clear sky conditions would be different. That is why it is difficult for a standalone
receiver to precisely determine its position. RTK is a technology that solves this
issue.
2.4.2 High-Precision Real-Time Positioning
Two receivers are used in RTK. One of them is stationary, another moves freely. They
are called base station and rover.
The base is installed in a fixed location and send correction data to a moving
receiver. Rover uses that data to achieve centimeter precise position. Any number of
17
rovers can connect to one base if their input settings are compatible to the base’s
output.
2.4.3 Corrections over NTRIP
A dedicated local base station is not always required for RTK operation. Usually,
there are local services that share base corrections over the Internet. This
technology is called NTRIP. NTRIP is a good option for areas with strong 3G/LTE
coverage and a vast network of NTRIP bases nearby. In other cases, using the second
receiver as a local base station has two advantages:
•Autonomy in remote areas as there’s no need in the Internet connection;
• Independence from local providers, no additional fees by NTRIP service.
18
2.5 Quick Setup Guide
With the help of this section, you can easily configure your Xbase and achieve
accurate positioning for your subsequent tasks. This chapter introduces three work
modes, allowing you to select the most suitable operating mode for your working
conditions and accuracy requirements.

2.5.1 Internal Radio Mode
2.5.1.1 Internal Radio Base
During configuration, you need to connect your PDA device or data collector to the
base.
When working as a Base station, SingularPad supports transmitting the correction
data in Internal Radio mode.
Internal Radio: This mode uses internal radio to transmit the correction data from
Base to Rover. You need to set Base and Rover with the same protocol and frequency.
• Protocol: Supports CSS, TRIMTALK, TRIMMK3, TT450S, TRANSEOT and SATEL.
• Frequency: select a channel or customize a frequency, the range of frequency is
410-470 MHz
• Baud rate: 4800,9600,11000,19200,115200
• Power: High and low (low power reduces the transmission range)
TIP - Condition of the base station setup
Ideal Environment:
· Clear outdoor sky view, free
from obstructions.
· Place GPS and radio antennas
as high as possible to reduce
signal interference and
maximize communication range.
Avoid:
· Obstacles: buildings, vehicles,
towers, trees, etc.
· Interference: high-power radar,
TV, cellular towers, power lines or
electrical facilities
The following steps give an example of how to configure internal radio base mode.
NOTE: Set Internal Radio Work Mode: Connect the whip antenna to both your base station and rover.
1.Go to Device >> Base. Set Base ID and choose the Diff Format.
20
2.Click Base Startup Mode to select from the following options.
Single Point: Start the base station at unknown coordinates
Assigned Base Coordinates: Start the base station at known coordinates, and you
need to enter the latitude, longitude and the height
Use Current Coordinates: Automatically start the base station at the current
coordinates.
NOTE: For the best RTK accuracy, it is recommended to set up the base station at a known point. Select
Base Startup Mode as Assigned Base Coordinates and input the known point coordinates. Make sure the
current coordinates of the receiver are within 50 meters of the known point coordinates.. Otherwise, you
will need to conduct 3.3 Calibrate Point after or before surveying.
21
Typically, select Base Startup Mode as Assigned Base Coordinates and start the base
station at known coordinates.
You can assign the coordinates from point database (input points/measured points)
or click the survey icon to measure the current base location directly. Always use the
same coordinates when starting base at the same location.
After setting the base coordinates, set the Antenna Parameters for accurate
elevation. Click to select Antenna Measuring Type, there are three main types:
22
Pole Height: Pole height is the vertical height from the receiver’s bottom to the
ground point. If you are using a range pole with a bipod for base set-up, you can fill
the pole scale reading as the software Antenna Measurement Height when the
pole is perpendicular.
Slant Height: If you are using a tripod to set up the device, you can measure the
distance from the ground point to the antenna slant height measurement mark
(marked in the figure below). Fill the reading into the Antenna Measurement
Height, then the software will calculate the actual height.
Phase Center Height: The phase center height is the distance from the ground point
to the antenna phase center, but the antenna phase center is a virtual point of the
instrument's electromagnetic wave, and cannot be measured directly.
3.Set Data Link as Internal Radio. Set parameter settings, Channel,
Frequency, Protocol, Baud Rate and Power.
23
4.When the base station starts successfully, the status will show as below in
SingularPad.
NOTE: After configuring base station settings, please disconnect the base device and then search for the
SN of the rover to connect and configure the rover device. Select the same protocol and frequency as the
24
base station.
2.5.1.2 Internal Radio Rover
The following steps give an example of how to configure the internal radio rover
mode.
1. Go to Device >> Rover. Set Data Link as Internal Radio.
2. Parameter setting: Set channel, Frequency and Protocol the same as the base

complete it.
During the operation, ensure that the receiver can search for satellites and obtain
a fixed RTK solution.
NOTE: If the receiver is powered off or reset, IMU initialization must be
performed again.
In survey interface, you can find the bubble indicator and angle value showing
how you tilt the pole in real time. To ensure the accuracy, please keep the tilt
angle less than 60° . When the pole tilts within 60°, the built-in IMU precisely
calculates the actual offset, the accuracy of which can be accurate to ±2.5cm.
NOTE:If rapid rotation, falling and other violent movements cause IMU status
loss, it needs to be reinitialized by gently shaking the pole for about 5 seconds.

4 STATIC SURVEY
This chapter describes how to conduct static survey through Xbase receiver and
SingularXYZ Converter software. For static survey, Xbase supports SingularXYZ
binary format (*.XYZ), which is a raw observation data format. You can convert it
to RINEX format via SingularXYZ Converter Software.
For the converter software, please contact the SingularXYZ support team at
4.1 Static Data Collection
Static survey is mainly used for the control point survey. To reach millimeter
accuracy results, please follow the recommendations below:
•At least 3 GNSS receivers are required to form a stable triangulation network.
• It is better to collect static data on the known point.
• Power off the receiver before moving to other observation site.
• For the convenience of post-process static observation raw data, record the
station name, receiver SN, antenna height, start and end time for each
observation site.
For convenient operation, you can start recording static data by double-pressing
the function button on the front panel. The flashing yellow indicator on the
function button indicates that static data recording has begun at a 1Hz frequency.
If you need to do more detailed settings about static survey, please follow these
steps to configure them in the SingularPad software.
1. Go to Device >> Static Record for static settings.
58
2. Choose the Record mode. There are two record modes and they can record
static data at the same time.
Options Settings interface: Input Record name and Point name. Set the Collection
Interval, Observation Time and Data Format.
3. Turn on/off the Circular Record according to your needs. If this option is
turned on, the receiver will automatically delete the earliest recorded data to
keep recording when the storage space is full.
59
4.Enable/disable the Auto Record Static Data according to your needs. If this
option is turned on, the receiver will automatically record static data after it is
power on.
5.Set the Storage Space at the end (unit: MB). It will limit the amount of data
that receiver can record.
6.Click start to start static data collection.
60
4.2 Static Data Download
The raw observation data is saved in the internal memory of the Xbase receiver.
The specific steps to download the static data from the Xbase receiver are as
follows:
Refer to Chapter 5.1 Access the web interface to go to the Xbase web page.
Go to Work management >> File Download, select the corresponding record
name, file type and date to filter and download the static data.
61
4.3 RINEX Conversion
After download raw observation data to PC, you can convert the data format from
SingularXYZ binary format (*.XYZ) to Rinex in SingularXYZ Converter software.
The following steps give an example of Rinex conversion.
1. Start SingularXYZ Converter software.
2. Click the file folder icon to set the output path and click Select file to import
the binary file.
62
3. Click convert to start converting XYZ to Rinex, and the Rinex files will be
