Using with Local DGNSS Base Station 

When you use your VBOX 3i unit with a local DGNSS Base Station the positional accuracy will be improved from the standard 3 m 95% CEP.

There are two available Base Station options:

40 cm positional accuracy:

If you use a VBOX 3i unit with an RTCM v2-enabled Base Station, the positional accuracy will be 40 cm 95% CEP with a height accuracy of 1 m 95% CEP.

2 cm positional accuracy:

If you use it with a RLVBBS4RG or RLVBBS5,  the positional accuracy will become 2 cm.

• CMR: 2 cm correction (Trimble standard message type)
• RTCM v3: 2 cm correction (RTCM standard message type) RECOMMENDED

Notes:

• RTCM v3 is recommended as the default RTK 2 cm correction type. This message format is a globally recognised type and more resilient to data loss caused by radio errors.
• VBOX 3i RTK units have a maximum log rate of 100 Hz when in RTK mode. 
• If the VBOX 3i unit is issued a coldstart command (from front panel, software, or VBOX Manager) all DGPS settings will be disabled.
