FieldGenius for Windows Basics | Connecting your Emlid Reach Receiver

This entry-level deployment tutorial outlines the fundamentals of connecting your Emlid hardware inside the desktop data suite. Follow these initialization guidelines to cleanly configure an instrument connection profile, map topography points, and verify directional tracking configurations during stakeout routines.

Project & Profile Setup

Begin hardware pairing by initializing a fresh data storage directory and assigning software translation rules:

• Start a brand new project file and specify a clear name identifier.
• Open the Project Settings dashboard to double-check and confirm that you are utilizing your target local linear units and regional coordinate systems.
• Navigate to the instrument section, choose Select Instrument, add a new Instrument Profile block, and name it RS3.
• Tap Edit, then select the Model and Communication configuration window.
• Set the hardware profile properties fields explicitly to NMEA for the Make parameter and Basic for the Model selection.

Wireless Device Pairing

Once your software parameters match, bridge communication channels down to the active physical sensor over a localized Bluetooth connection:

• Open the integrated Bluetooth Device List manager inside the software suite and tap Search to scan for nearby wireless accessories.
• Highlight your target receiver hardware once discovered, assign it a descriptive label string, and input the default factory security passcode PIN: 123456.
• Click Close to finalize your hardware binding configurations and prompt an immediate active data connection stream.

Data Collection Workflows

Before recording raw geometric points, ensure your spatial vertical dimensions are true to your physical rover rod configurations:

• Click the Antenna button located on the right vertical column panel view. Input your explicit pole measurement height and apply your precise hardware antenna offset parameters.
• To record a topography point, wait for the receiver to acquire full precision stability, click the RTK Fixed indicator status button, and choose Store Position.
• From this follow-up logging card dashboard, you can assign field code descriptions, review real-time vertical parameters, or alter specific point classifications on the fly.

Point Stakeout Operations

FieldGenius features precise visual guidance metrics to assist operators during re-location and validation steps:

• After collecting a minimum of two separate database points, launch the software Staking Tool framework.
• Select your target coordinate marker to generate directional guidance instructions guiding you back to your first recorded point.
• Follow the on-screen real-time cardinal directions to return precisely to the point center. You can also toggle the staking visualization profile view over to Map Mode to cross-examine your active position graphically.
• Once you occupy the coordinate bounds, you have options to overwrite existing historical points or store your current location data as a completely separate point entry.
