7 Carrier Phase Data Collection<br />

7.1 Introduction<br />

When you need to collect a feature with a precision better than 50 cm,<br />

you can configure the Asset Surveyor software to log carrier phase<br />

data.<br />

As this is an important feature, this chapter introduces you to the basic<br />

concepts involved, and then describes in detail how to collect and use<br />

carrier phase data.<br />

7.2 Before You Begin<br />

The following sections discuss some of the concepts associated with<br />

using carrier phase data.<br />

7.2.1 Why Use This Feature?<br />

In a conventional GPS session, the Asset Surveyor software logs<br />

independent GPS positions. If enough satellites are visible and the<br />

PDOP is low, it continues to log reliable positions.<br />

In a GPS session where the Asset Surveyor software logs carrier phase<br />

data, positions collected in the field can be postprocessed to generate<br />

more precise positions once you are back at the office. Because<br />

measurements are collected from each individual satellite, the<br />

positions generated during postprocessing are more precise than<br />

positions logged in the field.<br />
