5.5 ViewStatus pozicioniranja RTK-a

After completing your E1 Lite RTK setup, check the current RTK solution status in the top left corner of the SingularPad software:

• FIKSNO: E1 Lite is receiving RTK corrections stably and obtaining a Fixed RTK solution with centimeter-level accuracy.
• PLOVAK: E1 Lite receives corrections from the base/CORS, but due to obstructions or magnetic field interference, the signal reception is not very stable and the accuracy is sub-meter level.
• AUTONOMNO: Satelitsko pozicioniranje u jednoj točki bez primanja RTK podataka za korekciju. Točnost je otprilike na razini metra.

Tip: Before surveying, make sure E1 Lite has a clear sky view, bez prepreka poput zgrada, drveća, automobila i ostalog.

The device is FCC certified, and supporting information can be provided if needed. Failure to obtain the necessary license may result in operational restrictions or penalties.

7.2 Optimizing Accuracy

If you experience issues with achieving centimeter-level accuracy (i.e., the status remains 'FLOAT' or 'AUTONOMOUS' for extended periods), ensure the following:

• The E1 Lite receiver has a clear, unobstructed view of the sky. Avoid areas with dense foliage, tall buildings, or other structures that may block satellite signals.
• All cables and antennas are securely connected.
• The base and rover units (if applicable) are configured correctly with matching protocols and frequencies.
• Your CORS/RTK Correction Service account is active and properly configured, and the baseline distance is within the recommended range (e.g., 50km).
