Setting Up the GS20 (Creating a Phase configuration)
In order to process phase data, it is necessary to:• Enable Post Processing in the GPS Logging Screen• Select Max Accuracy in the GPS Tracking Screen
Select Setup from the Main Menu, and choose Setup.
Select the POSTPROC configuration.• Create New and Name the configuration PHASE.• Highlight the PHASE Configuration and press enter to
select.• Press enter again to edit the configuration.
3 - Leica Geosystems Survey & Engineering Division
Editing the Configuration
Expand the GPS group and open the Tracking Screen• Press the left arrow to make Max Accuracy active• Arrow down to enter the Mask Angle• Set the Mask Angle to 15 Degrees
– Higher Elevation Satellites provide better signal and are less prone to cycle slip!
• Arrow down the DOP and select GDOP of value 8
• Escape and Save each screen until you return to the Main Menu.

Setting the Logging Interval
For Rapid static collection, it is necessary to collect a variety of phase positions with varying satellite geometry
• Longer occupations don’t require 1 second sampling In the GPS / Logging screen, you can reduce the
collection time to 5-10 seconds for rapid static, or 15-30 seconds for static occupations.
5 - Leica Geosystems Survey & Engineering Division
Collecting the Data
In order to collect phase data, it is necessary to use the AT501 Survey Grade antenna on a stable device such as a Tripod or Bipod.
Measure the height of the Antenna and enter this information in the GPS antenna configuration screen.
• Hint: When powering on the unit, it will ask for the antenna type and height.

Feature ID Template
Because SKI PRO handles point features based on the ID or name, it is important to ensure differentiation between point names.
When using the ID Template for Points, it is advisable, to prefix the number with a unique ID.
• Unique ID could be last 4 digits of the serial number Select Auxiliary / ID Template Management
• Create a New Feature Template and Save

Planning Your Collection
Will you be using a 3rd party Reference station?• Leica Internet Download• Other: Rinex or Leica data
Will you be processing as • Single receiver Occupation using one
reference– Single baseline
• Simultaneous receiver Occupations– Multiple baselines: usually for
networking
Note: Multiple bases can allow for network closure and loop adjustments! This will allow you to verify point accuracy.

Phase Point Occupation
When Occupying a point, the positional count will be provided in the status bar at the bottom of the screen
The Positional count indicates the amount of GPS observations recorded.
• Positions are not to be confused with time, unless the logging rate is set to 1 second.
For a 1km Rapid Static Location
15:00min x 60sec / 5sec =180 positions

Rules of thumb for L1 Phase collection
Single frequency phase collection requires shorter baselines and longer occupation times than a dual frequency receiver.
It is recommended that occupation times in Static or Rapid Static should never be less than 15 minutes.
It is also recommended not to exceed 20km in baseline length.
• A good rule of thumb is 5 minutes per kilometer of baseline length with a minimum of 15 minutes

Back in the Office: Phase Processing with DataPRO
DataPRO is capable of both L1 and L1/L2 phase processing.
• Phase Processing requires a special hardware Lock that is attached to the parallel port of your computer
DataPRO provides a GPS processing engine called SKI PRO
DataPRO does not provide network creation or analysis
• The SKI Wizard can export baseline data for 3rd Party network adjustment packages.
The General Setting under the Tools Pull down will allow you
to view purchased options
11 - Leica Geosystems Survey & Engineering Division
More General Options
It is also necessary to change the default processing settings
From the Tools pull down, select General Setting
• Choose the Data Processing Tab
Select No automatic behavior• Advanced users may wish to
setup pre-defined criteria• Uncheck the Discard data with
poor satellite geometry• Set averaging limits so that
points outside of acceptable accuracy tolerance are not averaged together

Opening the SKI Wizard
This presentation assumes the user is already capable of creating a job, transferring and importing data.
• To find out more about job creation and data import, review the GIS DataPRO User Manual
From the Tools Menu, select Post Process, or choose the globe icon form the Toolbar.

Housekeeping Phase kinematic chain Data
Versions 1.0 - 1.05 of the GS20 are currently not enabled to process kinematic or moving phase data.
• GPS kinematic chain data is still collected, in order to process lines and areas with the C/A code.
• Static• Kinematic
Because the ambiguity resolution of each static point is unique, it is necessary to remove chain data between static points.
• If points are linked with chain data, SKI PRO will attempt to solve each point with the ambiguity resolution of the 1st solution. This is how kinematic phase collection works.
14 - Leica Geosystems Survey & Engineering Division
SKI PRO Wizard
The post-processing engine of GIS DataPRO is the same as that used in SKI-PRO.
• GIS DataPRO and SKI PRO versions run in parallel, so it is easy to determine the version.
Note: Reference data imported from within the SKI PRO window will not show in the map
To open the SKI PRO Window, Select Post-process from the Tools pull-down window.
15 - Leica Geosystems Survey & Engineering Division
Viewing the data in the SKI Wizard
By Default, imported rover data is assigned as rover (green) and imported reference is assigned reference (red)
Note the additional chain data above and below the actual points of interest. This data must be deleted so that ambiguities can be resolved uniquely for each point.
16 - Leica Geosystems Survey & Engineering Division
Working in the SKI PRO window
To delete the chain data, select the extraneous data for each point, place the mouse over the highlight, right click, and select delete.Note you can select multiple data, but only for 1 chain at a time.
To deselect, or change the status of GPS data, right click in the right window.
• To deselect, right click in the open area
• To change status, place the mouse over the GPS data of interest.
17 - Leica Geosystems Survey & Engineering Division
Changing the Reference Coordinates
To assign known values to reference coordinates, it is necessary to edit the point.
• You can edit a point by right clicking the point ID , then changing the point class to control.
18 - Leica Geosystems Survey & Engineering Division
Processing Parameter
It is not recommended to process L1 baselines in access of 20km.
• Default baseline settings in the SKI PRO interface are 9 minutes for minimum time and 20km for maximum length
• If your ambiguities do not resolve, right click in the SKI PRO window and select system parameter, and select Show advanced parameters.
19 - Leica Geosystems Survey & Engineering Division
Processing the Data
To process the data, right click in the right SKI window and select process, or choose the gears icon from the toolbar.
A progress bar and dialog will let you know when the processing is complete.
Data must be saved in the results screen before exiting the SKI PRO wizard!
20 - Leica Geosystems Survey & Engineering Division
Reviewing and Storing the Data
Once your data is processed, you can check to see if your ambiguities were resolved and save your data.
Select next twice to enter the results screen.
Expand your processing run, and select the Points folder.
21 - Leica Geosystems Survey & Engineering Division
Reviewing and Storing your data
Select the points that meet your criteria (normally resolved ambiguities)
• Hold Shift to select a group, or CTRL for individual points• Right click on a highlighted row and store
Close the SKI Window and your data will be updated.

Advanced Processing
To process multiple sessions for networking, it is necessary to deselect data, and change the status of data to rover or reference.
