Introduction
This document is user guide for S70G and it is intended to introduce how to
use the controller correctly.
The S70G is a controller with a dedicated F9P GNSS sensor. The device is
thinked for RTK projects and much more.
The integrated design of the controller makes the S70G only 0.6 kg, which is
light and portable. The GNSS sensor supports the all satellites system signals
like Beidou, GPS, GLONASS, Galileo,. The users no longer must worry about
upgrading RTK hardware to support other satellite systems.
With the 4 constellation S70G GNSS receiver is a multiple-frequency receiver
and designed for GNSS surveying applications. It is available as a standalone
rover, which can be switched freely whenever and wherever, offering
maximum versatility in the system configuration to meet your specific
requirements. At the same time, S70G receiver can upgrade easily to
continually meet your new demand.
It is supplied with an antenna connected directly to the tablet which
guarantees a precision of 2cm, but it is also possible to connect an external
antenna to obtain, in case of need, even more precise data.
S70G is able to work in real time through the reception of RTK corrections
transmitted by a network of GNSS Permanent Stations.
At the same time, it can also record the raw data received from satellites for
post processing in the office. This allows the operator to achieve greater
precision and to be able to work even in areas where there is not a good
coverage of the GSM signal.
