Dear all, I have 2 receivers. One is static(base station) and the other is moving(rover). I have connected both the receivers to 1(one) computer. My Antenna wire is long so I am have enough difference between the base station and the rover (atleast 10m seperation) to have less errors.
Following are my settings. Both are serial but the port is different. When I check on RTKNavi it gives me the following figure. When started the satellites are colored so frequency range of them is ok. <http://open-source-gps-related-discussion-and-support.1099874.n2.nabble.com/file/n7572960/onesdf.png> I am trying to understand the base station option of the rtklib. When I have these settings, does the rtklib automatically subtracts the errors and outputs the values(with less errors compared to having only a rover). To put it formally Why do I need a base station? Why cant I just have one receiver which has a rover connected to it and I can just move the rover around and get the output. Does it reduce the errors? Or maybe I can do this. I can find the base station location(I dont know how). Then I can put the base station receiver there which is static. This way I would know the amount of error because I will subtract ERROR= (actual base station value) - (myreceiver base station value). Then with my final readings with moving rover receiver I can subtract the error and it will give me the readings with lesser error. I have the following questions: 1) The output I get on the rtknavi and rtkpost takes into accordance that I have 2 serial connection. base station and rover and somehow the outputted value is automatically the one with less error? 2) Can I not just do it with one receiver? Which is a rover?
