Moving the rover SitePoints help increase heading accuracy. The system needs to know which direction a SitePoint is tilted on a machine or pole. It calculates this best when the SitePoint is in motion.
To help maintain the highest possible accuracy, it is recommended that the rover remain in motion periodically so it can continuously gather fresh position data relative to the base and the control point.
The Kinsman App provides alerts when positional accuracy exceeds the configured accuracy threshold. These thresholds can be adjusted within the app to meet the requirements of your project.
The base unit should remain stationary at all times. Because it references a fixed control point and its known location, maintaining a stationary base allows the system to calculate accurate correction data for the rover.
Operational Recommendations
Rover on a pole: If the rover has been stationary for an extended period, move the pole in several directions before taking the next measurement.
Rover on a machine: If the machine has been stationary, move the arm and bucket up and down, and drive the machine forward and backward before taking the next measurement.
These practices help refresh the rover’s heading calculations and maintain optimal measurement accuracy.
