Antennas/Calibration Sets

Here all the antennas considered in the project are listed, grouped by calibration set.

By default, Leica, Geo ++ and NGS calibration set come with the installation package. Leica and Geo++ consist of only Leica antennas; NGS consists of Leica and third parties antennas. The antenna manager allows you to get information about the properties of the antennas.

Select the antenna and open the Info fly-out to display the antenna PCV and offset parameters.

Import antennas (ANTEX format)/calibration sets:

Import antennas (ANTEX format)/calibration sets:

These files are available from various agencies including the International GNSS Service (IGS) or National Geodetic Survey (NGS) and have a list of antenna types by manufacturer with their respective offsets and eccentricities.

When processing baselines with third-party GNSS sensors it is suggested to use the NGS calibration set. If the antenna is not in the selected calibration set, then a NullAntenna is used for both receivers of that baseline.

Antennas can be copied to the Antenna Management through the Copy to Global option.

Add a new antenna:

Add a new antenna:

1.	Enter the antenna details in the Add Antenna property grid.You can manually enter the antenna offsets and eccentricities when needed.
2.	Select Create.

Create

The new antenna is added to the calibration set that you have selected in the properties and marked as user-defined.

Create a new calibration set:

Create a new calibration set:

Allows you to create user-defined calibration sets, to combine antennas of different agencies into one list and use them for processing.

All antennas must be absolute or of a relative type.

1.	In the Antennas/Calibration Sets tab, select at least one antenna to make the option become active.
2.	Select the New Calibration Set option or right-click into the selection and select Add to Calibration Set, then New Calibration Set from the context menu.
3.	Enter the details in the New Calibration Set property grid.
4.	Select Create.
