. Antenna Setup. All tribrachs should be calibrated <strong>and</strong> adjusted before to beginning each project.Since centering errors represent a major error source in all survey work (not just GPS <strong>surveying</strong>), useboth optical plummets <strong>and</strong> st<strong>and</strong>ard plumb bobs.c. Height of Instrument. HI refers to the correct measurement of the distance of the GPS antennaabove the reference monument over which it is placed. HI measurements should be made before <strong>and</strong>after each observation session. The HI should be made from the monument to a st<strong>and</strong>ard reference pointon the antenna. The st<strong>and</strong>ard reference points for each antenna should be established before to thebeginning of the observations. All measurements should be made both in meters <strong>and</strong> feet forredundancy <strong>and</strong> blunder detection. Determine the measurement to the nearest millimeter in metric units<strong>and</strong> the nearest 0.01 foot in US units. Note whether the HI is vertical or diagonal.d. Field Global Positioning System Observation Recording Procedures. Field-recording books, logsheets, or log forms should be completed for each station <strong>and</strong> session. Any acceptable recording mediamay be used. Recording sheets or forms will be used for archiving purposes. The amount of recordingdetail will depend on the project. Low-order geographic mapping points do not need as muchdescriptive information as permanently marked, primary control points. Unit comm<strong>and</strong>s may requirethat additional data be recorded. These requirements are contained in the project instructions. Thefollowing data may be included on the field log records: Project name, directive number, observer name(s), <strong>and</strong> unit name. Station designation number. Station file number. Date <strong>and</strong> weather conditions. Session start <strong>and</strong> stop time (local <strong>and</strong> universal time, coordinated [UTC]). Receiver; antenna; data-recording unit; <strong>and</strong> tribrach make, model, <strong>and</strong> serial number. Antenna height (vertical or diagonal measurements in metric or US units). Satellite vehicle (SV) designation <strong>and</strong> number. Station-location sketch. Geodetic location <strong>and</strong> elevation (approximate). Problems encountered.5-25 EN0593
