In this video, we will show you how to set up a Siteworks site calibration base and rover using Trimble equipment. Siteworks site calibration is a process of adjusting the coordinates of a GNSS receiver to match the coordinates of known control points. This is important for ensuring that your GNSS measurements are accurate.
To set up a Siteworks site calibration base and rover, you will need the following equipment:
* A Trimble GNSS receiver for the base and rover
* A Trimble machine kit for the rover (optional)
* A Trimble data collector
* A Siteworks software license
Once you have all of your equipment, follow these steps to set up the site calibration:
1. **Set up the base receiver.** Place the base receiver on a known control point and turn it on.
2. **Set up the rover receiver.** Place the rover receiver in a location where you want to collect data and turn it on.
3. **Connect the rover receiver to the data collector.**
4. **Open the Siteworks software on the data collector.**
5. **Create a new site calibration project.**
6. **Select the base and rover receivers in the Siteworks software.**
7. **Start the site calibration.**
8. **Collect data at a minimum of five control points.**
9. **Once you have collected data at all of the control points, stop the site calibration.**
10. **Review the site calibration results.**
If the site calibration results are satisfactory, you can accept the results and use the calibrated coordinates for your GNSS measurements.
Here are some additional tips for setting up a Siteworks site calibration:
* Use a tripod and stakes to secure the base and rover receivers.
* Make sure that the base and rover receivers have a clear view of the sky.
* Avoid setting up the base and rover receivers near trees, buildings, or other obstructions.
* Collect data at the control points for at least five minutes.
* Review the site calibration results carefully before accepting them.
