4.1.1. Stations
 
Before performing any kind of measurement in
GART-2000® CE a station has to be defined. A basic principle of GART-2000® CE is the attachment of measurements to a station. For GPS the location of the Base receiver is a station. The station-concept enables the user to apply different transformations in one project and therefore is the key to the integration of total stations and GPS in GART-2000® CE.
 
Use the menu Input > Stations to setup a station. After the first Initialisation of the station in a new project GART-2000® CE uses this station automatically.
 
The function displays a list of all available stations in the project. Enter the name of a new station in the field <Station number> or choose an already existing station by double-clicking in the list. If you enter a new GPS station make sure to activate the <GPS> checkbox.
 
If a new station is created additional data may be entered:
 
- Code, MA: point code and marker type
- Instr.Height: antenna height
- PP:
if the station is to be used as a control point this checkbox has to be activated.
- System: to work with different systems during a project choose the actual system for this station. All coordinates of measurements that relate to this station are stored in this system.
- Instrument: choose Total Station
 
Location, Observer and Weather are additional information, which are useful for the documentation of a project.
 
With the <OK> button the station is stored.
 
GART-2000® CE  automatically changes into the menu Input > Stations, after first Initialisation of the receiver in a new project or after the first Initialisation of the base.
