Hi At the often quoted 1.5 ns / meter error level, that would be almost 3.5 ns. At the “worst case” 3 ns / meter you would almost get to 7 ns. Bob > On Dec 7, 2016, at 7:17 PM, Mark Sims wrote: > > It depends upon your lat and lon, but figure about 10 feet. Basically > earth circumferen

It depends upon your lat and lon, but figure about 10 feet. Basically earth circumference is 24,000 miles * 5280 feet per mile divided by (2**24) (bits in the sign+significand of a 32 bit float). The math works out to 7.5 feet, but one always has to pay some imprecise math tax... One can s

No, the SL keyboard command on TSIP receivers should do the "multiple-single-point-surveys-until-it-gets-close" thing to set the lat/lon/alt to better than single precision floating point accuracy. . The advantage of doing a full 48-hour survey is that the surveyed position was calculated by th

Lady Heather can only talk to one device at a time, but you can fire up multiple copies of Lady Heather to control multiple devices. You would need to specify a different serial port to use on the second instance's command line. Version 5.0 will let you swap serial ports and receiver type on
