GNSS receivers

  • Leica X-PAD allows to connect and operate GNSS receivers.

  • In this chapter are explained the dedicated functions to manage GNSS receivers connected to the software.

  • Before to start to operate with a GNSS receiver, the instrument has to be connected and configured.


  • This chapter covers the following topics:

    • GNSS Status: learn how to monitor the current status of the GNSS receiver, including satellite tracking, positioning quality, correction data, and receiver diagnostics.

    • Working with a GNSS base: learn how to start a GNSS receiver as a base station.

    • Working with IMU for tilt compensation: learn how to use GNSS receivers equipped with an IMU sensor, including calibration procedures, tilt compensation, and best practices for efficient surveying.

    • Working with augmented reality: learn how to work using augmented reality with GNSS receiver with imaging and IMU.

    • Pole e-bubble with GNSS receivers: learn how to use the pole electronic bubble to check pole verticality.

    • GNSS receiver NMEA data streaming: learn how to start the NMEA data streaming from a GNSS receiver from X-PAD software.

    • GNSS Mock location: learn how to use the GNSS receiver position as an Android mock location source, allowing other applications to access high-precision coordinates.

    • Working with Terrastar PPP corrections: learn how to configure and use TerraStar PPP correction services from compatible GNSS receivers to achieve precise positioning when RTK corrections are not available.
