Once the user has selected a GNSS receiver and communication has been established, the GNSS toolbar will appear on the main interface.
The GNSS Settings screen is accessed from the GNSS Toolbar.
NOTE: You will only see the GNSS toolbar if you selected GNSS Reference, GNSS Rover, or GNSS Rover Demo as your instrument type. If you have selected a GNSS Profile but are not yet connected to the receiver, most of these buttons will be disabled.
This will allow you to make changes to most of the settings in your reference or rover profile including configuring the three tolerance modes, selecting the active tolerance mode, configuring the antenna height, configuring the auto-recording options and depending on the GNSS Sensor connected, the Electronic Bubble settings will be shown here as well. (The Model and Communication options cannot be configured while you are connected to your GNSS receiver.)
The Depth Sounder
The Depth sounder option allows the program to connect by Bluetooth to a supported depth sounder sensor after you are connected to a GNSS receiver. The program supports the SonarMite BTX depth sounder and other depth sounders that support the NMEA depth sounder standard format .On the depth sounder set the port to Bluetooth and the Press to Setup button. Search and select the depth sounder Bluetooth device from the list and configure the Bluetooth connection per the manufacturers instructions (pin code may be required). Once you have selected the correct depth sounder Bluetooth device select Connect.
Once connected to the Depth Sounder you can select the auto reconnect option to reconnect to the sensor if communication is interrupted. With Bluetooth communication established you can select the device model as SonarMite or NMEA depending on the type of depth sounder device you are using. The units of measure for the depth sounder are the same as the GNSS receiver. If the Use water level box is not checked than the height recorded by the program is a combination of the GNSS receiver position plus the antenna height and the depth sounder measurement. The antenna height needs to be input as the distance between the measure point on the GNSS Receiver and the measure point on the depth sounder. If the water level elevation is checked then the user needs to input the water level and the antenna height needs to be set as the distance from the water surface to the measure point on the depth sounder. The GNSS receiver will record the horizontal location and the height will be the water level plus antenna height and depth sounder measurement.
