Web User Interface
User can connect to receiver WIFI hotspot with PC, smart phone or tablet. The hotspot name is the device serial number, can be found under the bottom of the device label. Open web browser and input the IP address “192.168.10.1”. The default user name is “admin”, password is “password”. From the website, user can manage working status, change working mode, configurate basic settings, download raw data, update firmware and register device.
Position
- View basic position information, satellite number, PDOP and time. In static mode, can start and stop recording here.
Satellites
- View satellite list and satellite map, set cut-off angle.
Information
- View receiver information: firmware version, GNSS board, and network module.
Working Mode
- Configurate working mode: base, rover or static.
Satellite Setting
Configure the satellites to be used. “RTK Timeout” setting is for aRTK service (With Hemisphere L-Band service, user cans still keep high accuracy for a period when correction data loses). “Surefix” is hemisphere technology to increase the reliability of the fixed solution. This means it will be much more difficult to get fixed solution in tough environment.
Device Configuration
Configurable receiver settings: User can set time zone. Sensor means e-bubble data output. Also, the 5-pin port baud rate is changeable. Smart voice broadcast can be disabled. When SIM card is insert and “WIFI share network” is enabled, PC can surf the internet when connected to device hotspot by using SIM data. “Cloud service” and “Track back” is used for uploading position information to cloud/TCP server.
NMEA Message
- Configurate NMEA data output through Bluetooth or 5-pin port.
View Logs
- The log files can be used to diagnose issues. Click “download” to download the files.
Raw Data
- Download raw data or convert data to RINEX format. User can use check box, then click “Package” to download multiple files.
Backup Data
- The points collected in SurPad4.0 will be backup in receiver storage automatically to avoid data loss. Can restore the data to SurPad software.
Management
- User can update receiver and GNSS firmware as well as register device, format internal disk, restore factory setting, restart device.
- To update the firmware, click “Chose File” to import the firmware, then click “Upload File” to start updating.
Basic Operation
- This part shows user some basic operations to start working with E100.
Insert SIM card
- E100 supports network working mode. Open the cover and insert SIM card.
Charge the battery
- E100 is equipped with Type-C charger which support maximum 45w PD quick charge.
- Fully charge the battery will take 4 hours typically. The battery indicator is red when charging, will turn green when fully charged.
Measure antenna height
In order to get correct elevation value, we need to know the correct phase center height of the receiver. However, it is almost not possible to measure the phase center directly. Normally, the software will read the receiver antenna offset parameters. Once user input the measurement height, software will calculate the phase center height automatically. Typically, there are two ways to measure the height:
- A: Slant height (to measurement line)
- Centering and leveling the tripod on known point, then measure slant height from the ground point to the arrow at the side of the receiver.
- B: Pole height (straight height to device bottom)
- Read the straight pole height
Sensor
- The new E100 supports E-bubble and MEMS. It is determined by the activation code for which sensor is activated.
- Please note only one of the sensors can be activated. If you purchase E-bubble code, you can update to MEMS later by contacting with salesman.
E-bubble Calibration
When e-bubble is activated on E100. To calibrate the e-bubble, put the device on flat table or pole (ensure the bubble on the pole is normal before calibration, then centering the pole bubble). In SurPad4.0 software, connect device and click “Device” -> “Device Settings”, open “E-Bubble” function. Then, go to “Device” -> “Calibrate Sensor”, click “Calibrate” to calibrate the e-bubble.To use tilt survey function, go to “Survey” -> “Point Survey” page, select “Tilt Point”. Then click survey button to start data collection. After collect three points on the same location, the software will calculate a final result.
MEMS Tilt Survey
When MEMS sensor is activated on E100. To calibrate the MEMS sensor, receiver must be in Fixed solution. In SurPad4.0 software, connect device and click “Device” -> “Device Settings”, enable “Pole Tilt Correction” function. Then, go to “Survey” -> “Point Survey” page. The software will guide user to calibrate the sensor.
- Input the correct pole height
- Draw circle on the ground using the pole
- Follow the guide and shake the pole back and forth for around 5-10 seconds or walk in straight line around 10 meters until it shows “Ready”
