1. The Steadyline functionality helps mitigate the discontinuities that often occur when a GNSS receiver changes positioning modes The effect is especially evident when a receiver transitions from an RTK position mode solution to a lower accuracy fall back solution such as NovAtel CORRECT PPP DGPS WAAS GLIDE or even autonomous GLIDE Smooth transitions are particularly important for agricultural steering applications where sudden jumps are problematic The Steadyline feature internally monitors the position offsets between all the positioning modes present in the receiver When the current positioning mode becomes unavailable the receiver transitions to the next most accurate positioning mode The setting in the STEADYLINE command determines how the receiver transitions to the next positioning mode The following sections describe the Steadyline modes For more information about the STEADYLINE command refer to the OEM6 Family Firmware Reference Manual OM 20000129 For more information about configuring and using the Steadyline feature refer to the Steadyline application note APN 066 available on our website 4 4 1 Maintain When the receiver transitions to a different positioning mode it maintains the position offset calculated to limit a potential real position jump The receiver continues to apply the position offset to all positions calculated in the new positioning mode
