Four Parameter Set:
Four-Parameter is used to transfer the different Coordinate System. It can be calculated through
two known points and the original coordinates of them in the Control Point Library. The four
parameters are X translate, Y translate, circumrotate angle and scale. You can also calculate the
four parameters by using correction wizard to adjust at least two known points. The four
parameter calculates by these two means are the same.
The calculation of Four Parameter refers to: Tool Calculate Parameter Calculate Four Seven
Parameter Set
Seven Parameter is the Closure Parameter between two ellipsoids, it includes three translate
parameter, three rotating parameter and one scale gene. It needs three known points and their
geoids coordinates to calculate.

The parameter includes six parameters, in the control point library mode, you need three or
more than three known points and their original coordinates to calculate the closure parameter
to do plane closure, and you need six or more than six points with their original coordinates to
calculate the closure parameter to do arc surface closure.
Adjustment Parameter
When you use the control point library, if you only type in one known point and its original
coordinate, the parameter you acquired is the adjustment parameter. You can also obtain the
adjustment parameter by use of one known point to adjust. The result obtained by these two
methods is the same.

4.2 Control Point Library
The control point library is used to calculate the adjustment parameter. It is very convenient to
edit and view the adjusting point, and to examine the accuracy after adjustment. Here is the
detailed process: We use the two known points, Point A and Point B, to calculate the
adjustment parameter, firstly we must note down the original coordinate of these two points,
which are obtained by the rover in the fixed state without any adjustment parameter. Input the
known coordinate of Point A in the control point library, and then enter the original coordinate
of Point A according to the prompt. The adjustment parameter will be calculated (*.cot) after
entering the known coordinate and original coordinate of Point B.

Click to input the coordinates of the first known point (see Figure 4-11), you can also
fold the coordinates from the coordinates management library (see Figure 4-12). The software

There are four paths to input the original coordinates (see Figure 4-13): First, add the
coordinates from coordinates library (see Figure 4-14), Second, Read the coordinates of the
current point (to note an original coordinates when doing leveling and save it in the dialog),
Third, Read the coordinates of base station (to read the original coordinates when the basestation is on the known point), Fourth, Input the geography coordinates. We recommend the
first path.
Note: In general, plate transform needs at least two points, and the alt transform needs at least
three points. If one level point has no plate coordinates, you need to collect this point first and
change the alt to the known alt when folding the region coordinates of this point. Before saving
the file, youd better check whether the plate accuracy and alt accuracy meet the requirement.

in typing coordinates of adjustment point or in the process of adjustment, or there is a need to
readjust the coordinates of the measurement point. You can use this function and control point
library to regain the adjustment parameter and to process the measurement point in batch,
which may avoid the repeated work in field surveying.The detailed steps: open the data process menu (see Figure 4-17), select the original data file

Note: If you adjust with one point, you need to input the original coordinates of the point in
the control point library. If you use two or more than two points to adjust, you need to input
the relevant coordinates of these points. You need at least three points with their original
coordinates to do the alt closure.

The level of the accuracy of calculation can be shifted between high and common, this
subject to the surveying surroundings and the requirement of the surveying accuracy. In usual,
we select high level, whereas, we can also select the common level in case that the work
environment, such as the forest or bush is not so strong, is not so fine and the requirement for
the surveying accuracy is not so high. Thus the fixed speed will be faster.

Excursion Save: Supposed we now measure Point A, but it is impossible or inconvenient to do
for some reasons such as in the house or under the veil. In this occasion, we may use this
function. Firstly, we measure Point B that is measurable, then we obtain the azimuth, the
distance and the vertical difference between Point A and Point B. Thus we can obtain thecoordinate of Point A through Excursion Save. Select Excursion Save in the Set Save Type
menu, click the button-- or , you will see the screen to input excursion value.

4.5.2 Satellite Limit
For the refraction, which arises in the process of the satellite signal of low height angle
penetrating the Flayer and troposphere, is great and the multi-way effect. The signal of the low
height angle generates diffracting effect when being received. We have to select the appropriate
satellites, Engineering Star Software provide this function to meet this demand by masking the
satellite of low height angle. See Figure 4-25 that shows the tag to input 10oas the mask angle,
thus the satellite below 10owill be screened from adopted.

You can use notebook to reset the base of RTK by using single point orientation or manual
inputting coordinate. Base parameter, such as the difference format and interval amend, can be
revised synchronously.
When you use static function, you can adopt the Static State in the Receiver Set Menu to set the
Static Collection Parameter, such as the file name, antenna height, collection interval and the
parameter of mask angle to do the dual frequency static collection.

You can use two ways, which are single point orientation coordinate and manual inputting
coordinate, to set the base station. The single point orientation coordinate is the usual way,
which is much like the RTK with automatic base station set, such as the mainframe of 9800.
The manual set function is usually used in the following situation: (1) The standard coordinate
of the datum point is known. (2)The transferred coordinate is known. (3) Transferring
Parameter is known, such as base station reset. Do not set the unknown coordinate as the base
station when you do now know the coordinate of known points. This will make the base station
not work as usual, neither do the projecting difference.
1. Single Point Orientation Coordinate
Click the tag Auto run the base parameter set, enter the next step.
This function can make the instrument automatically collect the single point orientation
coordinate and set this coordinate as base station. We also need to set such parameters as
projection interval, difference data format, Satellite Mask Angel and PDOP, etc, to improve the
satellite condition for the base station start. The base station can only enter the normal
projection difference program after you finish all the parameters set, click OK to end this
step.
If you see the message Auto set finished, it means the set is finished. In usual case, check
whether the radio works according to the set projection interval, then use the PDA with the
rover station.
2. Manual Inputting Coordinate
Select Set the base station by inputting coordinates to enter next step.
In this interface, you can input the base station coordinate by two means: inputting with
geography coordinates and inputting with plane coordinates. Swift the inputting way according
to the instruction on top of the screen Note: The message Reset the station next time? in the bottom of the screen only work on

former set when you switch on the station without the PDA. This is convenient to the base
station operation, but if you move the station or change the antenna height, you need to modify
the parameter by using PDA. Generally, you are not recommended to click this toggle, pleaseoperate according to the instruction.

There are four types of Points Save:
General Save: Directly save the coordinate of point digit at certain time. (The coordinate of
point digit is updated per second)
Smooth Save: Obtain the average value after times of measurement of each point.
Auto Save: Save the point automatically according to the pre-setting term. (Save by time or by
distance).
Excursion Save: Supposed we now measure Point A, but it is impossible or inconvenient to do
for some reasons such as in the house or under the veil. In this occasion, we may use this
function. Firstly, we measure Point B that is measurable, then we obtain the azimuth, the
distance and the vertical difference between Point A and Point B. Thus we can obtain the
coordinate of Point A through Excursion Save. Select Excursion Save in the Save Set Type,
click the button-- or , you will see the screen to input excursion value.

R. marks lines to define the line and azimuth, if you do not define it, the software will auto
calculate the azimuth. The first is the line length, the second is the azimuth.
CL marks assuasive curve: it is defined by the curve length and K gene, the formula of K gene
is as follows:
LRA
A means K gene
R means the semi diameter of the curve
L means the length of assuasive curve
Note: assuasive curve must meet one arc in both ends, the first one is the
length of the assuasive curve and the second is the K gene.
CC marks arcs to define the arc length and the semi diameter, negative means left curve.
The first is arc length, and the second is semi diameter.
Note: the minus and plus value of semi diameter only stand for the direction. Plus
is the right side of the road direction, and the minus means the left side of
the road direction.

2 If you create a file, first create the file name and the mileage of the start point, then inputthe coordinates of the start point, connect a line, and an arc or assuasive line, here is the
input rule:
(1) Start with the point mark, connected with line:
(2) Input the assuasive line with both ends circle, the length of the assuasive line and
straight line is not always the same, and perhaps is zero.
(3) If the front of the line is assuasive line or circle, and the azimuth is zero, the program
will auto calculate the azimuth as the tangent direction of the circle.
( ) You only need to input the length of the assuasive line, the semi diameter and the
direction are decided by the neighboring circle.

6.1.2 Calculate Seven Parameter
If the survey area is large (more than 50Km), you can use Seven Parameter to acquire more
accurate Seven parameter translate coordinates. It needs three known points region coordinates
and their WGS-84 coordinates to calculate seven parameters, which are the seven translate
parameter of the region coordinates transformed from WGS-84 coordinates. Click OK to type
in the dialog of seven parameters.
Note: Youd better make the area of three points cover the whole survey area to acquirepreferable effect.
Figure 6-6 Three known points and survey area map
The format of seven parameter: X translate, Y translateZ translateX axis rotate, Y axis rotate,
Z axis rotate, Zoom scale (Scale Ratio).
Principle: As you know, the RTK survey used with translate parameter can make the plane
coordinates of survey point, height accuracy and control net cooperate very well in small area
(such as tens of sqkm) and you only need two or more than two region coordinates. But when
you do the survey in a large area (such as hundreds of sqkm), the translate parameter cannot
improve the accuracy of plane and height within parts of area. Thus you need to use seven

Note: The concept of three parameter is generated from seven parameter, if do not calculate all
axis rotate and scale for seven parameter, you only need translate parameter which is mostly
used in the small area and low-rise area.
