Chapter 2 Setup the X1 Receiver

This chapter provides general information on environmental requirements, setup,


power supply and connection of the X1 receiver.

2.1 Environmental requirements

To keep the receiver with a reliable performance, it is better to use the receiver in
safe environmental conditions:

• Operating temperature: -40°C to +65°C


• Storage temperature: -55°C to +85°C
• Out of corrosive fluids and gases
• With a clear view of sky

2.2 Front panel

2.4 Power supply

2.4.1 Battery

The receiver is equipped with internal batteries.


- 6700 mAh, over 20 hours working time
- Fast charge of 2.5 hours charging time

2.4.2 External Power Supply

The receiver is connected to an external power supply through a lemo to RS232


cable, and make sure that the red alligator clip is connected to the positive of
external power supply, black one to negative. Over- voltage function cannot protect
your X1 receiver if reverse connection.

Tip: The power consumption will be increasing if the base station transmits correction
data through internal UHF in the RTK mode; therefore, we strongly suggest using external
power (7-28 volt DC) for the base station.

X1 GNSS Receive User Manual V1.0
Chapter 3 Static Survey

This chapter describes static survey through X1 receiver and SingularXYZ Converter
software. For static survey, X1 supports 3 data formats: XYZ, Rinex3.02 and Rinex3.04.
XYZ format is raw observation data and you can convert the data from SingularXYZ
binary format (*.XYZ) to RINEX format via SingularXYZ Converter Software (Contact
SingularXYZ support team for the tool).

3.1 Static Data Collection

Static survey is mainly used for the control survey. To reach millimeter accuracy,
follow as below:
⚫ At least 3 GNSS receivers are required to form a stable triangulation network.

⚫ It is better to set Data Log Session as manual on the known point.

⚫ Power off the receiver before moving to other observation site.

⚫ To quickly post-process static observation raw data, write down the station

name, receiver SN, antenna height, start and end time for each observation
site.
Tip: You can start recording static data in the front panel, it’s convenient for you.

The following steps give an example of static survey.


1. Go to Device >> Static and collect points. Choose the Record mode, there are
two record modes and they can work together.

5
X1 GNSS Receive User Manual V1.0
2. Option Settings. Input Record name and Point name. Set the Collection
Interval, Observation Time and Data Format.

3. Open the Loop Record according to you needs. If this option is opened,
receiver will delete the earliest recorded data to keep recording when the
record space is full.

6
X1 GNSS Receive User Manual V1.0
4. Open the Auto Record Static according to you needs. If this option is opened,
the receiver automatically records static data after it is power on.

5. Set the Record Space in the end. It will limit the amount of data that receiver
record.

7
X1 GNSS Receive User Manual V1.0
6. Click start to static survey.

3.2 Static Data Download

The raw observation data is saved in internal memory of X1 receiver, when


connected with PC via TYPE-C cable, the X1 receiver can work as a USB Flash Disk –
SingularXYZ_DISK, which means you can copy the static data to PC directly.

In addition, you can download the static data via WebUI, connect the WiFi of the X1
receiver and log in 192.168.10.12 (Username: admin, Passwords: admin) Go to Work
management >> File Download to download the static data.

8
X1 GNSS Receive User Manual V1.0
3.3 RINEX Convert

After copy raw observation data to PC, you can convert the data from SingularXYZ
binary format (*.XYZ) to Rinex in SingularXYZ Converter software.
The following steps give an example of Rinex convert.
1. Start SingularXYZ Converter software;
2. Click open and select the path of your XYZ data;

3. Input marker name and choose the measure type, and the antenna type is
automatically identified as SITX 1 for X1 receiver;
4. Click convert to start convert XYZ to Rinex, and the Rinex files will be
output to the output file path.

5.1.1 Tilt survey

Tilt survey option will appear when receiver supports for tilt survey, it is available
for SingularXYZ X1 GNSS receiver. When the pole tilts within 60°, the built-in
sensor based tilt measurement system precisely calculates the actual offset
according to angle, which can not only meets the requirement if high precision
measurement, but also relieves the users from continually checking whether the
pole is plumb.
When using it for the first time or the calibration expired, you should confirm that
the antenna parameters and pole height are correct and then follow the interface
prompts to initialize the IMU module; it will take you a few seconds. During
operation, make sure that receiver can search the satellites and get fixed RTK
solution.
The following steps give an example of tilt survey.

1. Open IMU: Go to survey >> Point Survey >> click the button to open.
After you click IMU button, it will give you one prompt to check the antenna
information and you need the antenna height is correct.

2. Initialization

If you power off the receiver or reset it, need to initialize again. After open IMU
button, you can follow the guidance in interface to complete it. During
operation, make receiver can search the satellites and get a fixed RTK solution.

33
X1 GNSS Receive User Manual V1.0
In survey interface, you can find the bubble and angle value shows the pole you tilt.
To ensure the accuracy, please keep the tilt angle less than 60°. When the pole tilts
within 60°, the built-in sensor based IMU precisely calculates the actual offset, the
accuracy of which can be accurate to ±2.5cm.

Tip: Do not shake or rotate the receiver violently, otherwise you need to re-initialize.
