What level of real-time vertical accuracy can I expect from the GeoXH handheld?The GeoXH handheld provides a range of vertical accuracy in real time, depending on the real-timedifferential correction source used:Antenna typeInternal antennaOptionalTornadoantennaInternal antennaor optionalTornadoantennaReal-time correctionsourceVRS network, accessedusing a cellularconnection to theInternetOne dual-frequencybase station, accessedusing a cellularconnection to theInternet or from anexternal radioVRS network, accessedusing a cellularconnection to theInternetOne dual-frequencybase station, accessedusing a cellularconnection to theInternet or from anexternal radioVertical accuracyReal-time H-Star technologytypically provides 45 cm (18inch) accuracy, anywhere withina VRS networkReal-time H-Star technologytypically provides 45 cm (18inch) accuracy up to 80 km (50miles) from the base station.Real-time H-Star technologytypically provides 10 cm (4inch) accuracy, anywhere withina VRS networkReal-time H-Star technologytypically provides:• 10 cm (4 inch) accuracy upto 30 km (18 miles) fromthe base station• 45 cm (18 inch) accuracy30–80 km (18–50 miles)from the base station
What level of vertical accuracy can I expect after postprocessing data collectedwith the GeoXH handheld?After H-Star postprocessing, the GeoXH handheld achieves vertical accuracy of 10 cm + 2 ppm, exceptin conditions where most GPS signals are affected by trees, or buildings, or other objects.The following factors increase the availability of 10 cm accuracy with H-Star receivers:• Longer elapsed time tracking uninterrupted L1/L2 carrier phase data• Use of an external L1/L2 antenna• Tracking of more satellites with L2 carrier measurements• Shorter distance to the base station(s)• Use of more base stations for postprocessingWhen GPS carrier data is logged for a period of at least 45 minutes without interruption, carrierpostprocessing yields vertical accuracy of 2 cm + 2 ppm, provided the baseline length is no longer than10 km.In conditions where H-Star processing is not possible (for example, due to frequent loss of carrier lock)or where code-processing alone is selected, the GeoXH handheld provides postprocessed vertical codeaccuracy at the submeter level, thanks to the revolutionary Trimble DeltaPhase postprocessingtechnology. This new enhanced code postprocessing technology was introduced in the GPS PathfinderOffice software version 4.20 and the Trimble GPS Analyst extension for ESRI ArcGIS Desktopsoftware, version 2.20.How can I make sure I get the best possible accuracy when using real-timeH-Star technology?The GeoXH handheld is designed to be used with the internal antenna (under the Trimble logo)horizontal and with a clear view of the sky.If you are using the Trimble TerraSync software to collect data, use accuracy-based logging to ensure thefeatures collected meet your accuracy requirements. To obtain the most accurate results in real time,connect to a dual-frequency VRS network and apply the differential corrections to your data.If you are not using the Trimble TerraSync software, Trimble recommends that you observe the accuracyindicator until the desired accuracy level is reached (H-Star accuracy is typically achieved within 2minutes). You should then log GPS data for at least a few seconds, when collecting point features orvertices. Collecting multiple positions for a static feature helps to improve accuracy by averaging out theerrors in individual GPS positions. In heavy canopy, or other difficult environments, Trimblerecommends logging for 1 to 2 minutes.When should I use the optional Tornado antenna?Trimble recommends using the optional Tornado antenna if you need to obtain the best possible accuracywith the GeoXH handheld. The Tornado antenna improves accuracy as it is a high performance antennawith a larger ground plane, it is raised above the operator’s body, and it is used on a pole to preciselyposition the antenna both horizontally and vertically over the feature. The GeoXH with a Tornadoantenna provides decimeter (10 cm / 4 inch) accuracy in real time or after postprocessing when the baseinfrastructure requirements and GPS receiver settings are met.www.trimble.com Page 9
