Rev 1 67 B 2 AUTOSURVEY Survey for accurate position The AUTOSURVEY command uses position averaging to automatically determine the position for a base station When the AUTOSURVEY command is sent the receiver starts position averaging The position averaging continues until a specified accuracy level is met or until the specified survey time expires When position averaging is complete the calculated position is saved as the fix position for the base station This calculated position is then used when transmitting differential corrections to the rover Always send a SAVECONFIG command after the AUTOSURVEY command This saves the fix position and ensures an AUTOSURVEY is run each time the receiver is powered on or reset On subsequent power ups or resets an AUTOSURVEY runs to determine if the base station has moved As the AUTOSURVEY runs the average position calculated is compared to the saved fix position If the average position is within the AUTOSURVEY tolerance setting the receiver assumes it has not moved and uses the previously saved fix position If the average position is outside of the AUTOSURVEY tolerance setting the receiver assumes it has moved and will continue calculating a position average until the accuracy level is met or until the specified survey time expires Message ID 1795 Abbreviated ASCII Syntax AUTOSURVEY switch time accuracy tolerance Input Example In the following example
