appear depend upon which GPS1200+ receiver is used and the current receiver
configuration.

Touch screen: Tapping the icon leads to STATUS Position.
Icon Description
No icon No position available
Autonomous solution available.

Phase fixed solution available. The ticks indicate that an ambi-

guity check is being made.
Number of visible Displays the number of theoretically visible satellites above the configured cut off
satellites angle according to the current almanac.
Touch screen: Tapping the icon leads to STATUS Satellites.
Icon Description
The number of satellites above the <Cut Off Angle:> config-
ured in CONFIGURE Satellite Settings.
The number of satellites above the <Cut Off Angle:> config-

ured in CONFIGURE Satellite Settings. Receiver is config-
ured to accept an external oscillator input.
Contributing satel- Displays the number of satellites that are contributing to the currently computed posi-
lites tion solution.

Touch screen: Tapping the icon switches between the different GPS frequencies if
only GPS is used and <GPS L5: Yes> is configured in CONFIGURE Satellite
Settings. If more than two satellite systems are used, tapping the icon toggles
between the satelite systems.
.
Icon Description
When a position status icon is displayed, the number of satel-
lites currently used for the position computation are shown.
If no position is currently available then the L1, L2 and L5

values (GPS only), the Σ and G/ R values (GPS & GLONASS),
the Σ and G/E values (GPS & Galileo) or the Σ and G/R/E
values (GPS & GLONASS & Galileo) show how many satel-
lites are being tracked.
) The number of contributing satellites can differ from

the number of visible satellites. This may be either
because satellites cannot be viewed or the
observations to these satellites are considered to be
too noisy to be used in the position solution.
) The number of contributing GLONASS satellites

could be zero if five or more GPS satellites are used
for the position computation. The processing algo-
rithm automatically selects the best possible set of
satellite combinations for the position computation.
A position computation with R = 0 is certainly within
the specified reliability.

8.3 Line/Area Management
8.3.1 Overview
Description A line/area consists of points and can be created/edited in MANAGE Data: Job
Name. The individual points are measured within any application program. These
can be all points except auxiliary points. Points can be simultaneously assigned to
one or more lines and/or areas.
A line/area can have

• a style for display in MapView.
• a code independent of the point code of the points comprising the line/area.
) Points are assigned to a line/area when the line/area is open. Press USE (F4) to
open/close a line/area.

a variety of preferences to be addressed. The configuration of the parameters and
functions for an individual measuring technique are combined in a configuration set.
Default configura- Default configuration sets exist on the instrument. They use standard settings for the
tion sets majority of application programs. Default configuration sets can be edited and
deleted. It is always possible to restore the default configuration sets.
User defined New configuration sets can be created. The configuration set wizard assists in

Nearest The rover sends its position via NMEA GGA
message to LEICA GNSS Spider. From this
position, LEICA GNSS Spider determines the
reference in a reference network that is closest
to the rover.
i-MAX The rover sends its position via NMEA GGA
message to LEICA GNSS Spider where the
Master-Auxiliary corrections are calculated. The
corrections are also individualsied by LEICA
GNSS Spider, which means it determines the
best suitable corrections for that rover.
MAX The rover typically does not send its position to
LEICA GNSS Spider. LEICA GNSS Spider
calculates and sends Master-Auxiliary correc-
tions to the rover. The rover individualises the
corrections for its position, which means it deter-
mines the best suitable corrections.

21 Configuration of Devices
21.1 Overview
Description A device is the hardware which is connected to a chosen port of GPS1200+. Devices
are used to transmit and receive real-time data and to communicate with the
receiver.
Before using any device it is necessary to configure the interface with which it will be
used. Some devices may be used with different interfaces for different applications.
For example, a radio can be used to receive real-time reference data but a second
radio could also be used to simultaneously output NMEA messages.

25 NTRIP via Internet
25.1 Overview
Description Networked Transport of RTCM via Internet Protocol

• is a protocol streaming real-time corrections over the Internet.
• is a generic protocol based on the Hypertext Transfer Protocol HTTP/1.1.
• is used to send differential correction data or other kinds of streaming data to
stationary or mobile users over the Internet, allowing simultaneous PC, laptop,
PDA, or receiver connections to a broadcasting host.
• supports wireless Internet access through mobile IP networks like digital cellular
phones or modems.
System compo- NTRIP consists of three system components:

nents • NTRIP Clients • NTRIP Servers • NTRIP Caster
Refer to the GPS1200+ Technical Reference Manual for more information about
NTRIP.
