Enabling Galileo Satellites in VRS Survey Style

Galileo satellites are an important tool when conducting surveys using Trimble VRS. In this article, we will guide You through the process of enabling Galileo satellites in your VRS survey style, allowing you to take AdVantage of this advanced technology.

Opening Trimble Access and Checking Settings

The first step is to open Trimble Access and navigate to the Settings screen. Once you're in the Settings screen, click on "Survey Styles" and select the VRS survey style that you typically use to connect to the RS service.

Configuring Rover Options

After selecting the VRS survey style, check the Rover Options section. Here, you will find the Broadcast format specified. It is likely to say VRS (EMR) or VRS (TCM). Leave this setting as it is unless you specifically need to change it.

Ticking the Galileo Box

To enable Galileo satellites, navigate to page 3 of the settings and make sure that the Galileo box is ticked. If it is not ticked, simply tick the box and save your changes. This step ensures that the Galileo satellites will be available in the solution when the main point list appears.

Connecting to the RS Service

There are two ways to connect to the RS service: by hardwiring mount point information or by connecting to GNSS contacts. Let's explore both options.

Hardwiring Mount Point Information

If you want to skip the mount point list when connecting to the VRS service, go to the settings screen and tap on "Connect." Then, click on "GNSS Contacts" and select the contact used with the survey style. On the Second page, you will find an option to connect directly to the mount point. Tick this box and enter the name of the data stream into the designated box. By doing this, the specified mount point will be automatically selected when connecting to the RS.

Connecting to GNSS Contacts

If you prefer to connect to GNSS contacts, simply click on "GNSS Contacts" and select the contact used with the survey style. In most cases, you will have only one contact to choose from. This method allows you to connect to the RS service via the mount point list.

Recap of Settings and Selections

To summarize the settings and selections we covered in this article, let's go over them again:

1. Open Trimble Access and navigate to the Settings screen.
2. Select the VRS survey style you usually use.
3. Check the Rover Options and ensure the broadcast format is set correctly.
4. Tick the Galileo box in the settings to enable Galileo satellites.
5. Choose whether to hardwire mount point information or connect to GNSS contacts.
6. If hardwiring, tick the "Connect directly to mount point" box and enter the data stream name.
7. If connecting to GNSS contacts, simply select the contact used with the survey style.

Ensuring Firmware is Up to Date

Lastly, it is crucial to keep your receiver firmware updated to ensure compatibility with Galileo satellites and other system updates. Check the Trimble Website for the latest available firmware version for your specific model.

Conclusion

Enabling Galileo satellites in your VRS survey style opens up new possibilities for accurate and efficient surveying. By following the steps outlined in this article, you can take full advantage of this advanced technology and enhance the quality of your survey data. Remember to keep your firmware up to date for optimal performance. If you have any further questions or need assistance, please reach out to our support team at support@correctgroup.com.
