This guide assumes that the base station and rover are set up and operating. An
assumption has been made that the base station has been started with the “Here
key”, so it is using an autonomous GPS position.
Further information: Refer to your instrument reference manual and the online
help in Leica Geo Office for detailed instructions

4. Choose Parameters
a. Select the Geoid Model to use. Hint – In most cases, no suitable geoid model
will exist.
b. Press CONT (F1) to continue
5. Match Points
Note – Use this table to choose observed WGS84 and known Local Grid points for the calculation.
Points will be drawn from the jobs selected in Steps 2c and 2d above.
a. Select NEW (F2) to add a new point pair to the list.
i. Choose a WGS84 observed point
Hint – it is possible to use SURVEY (F5) to observe on a control point
at this time if you have not already done so.
ii. Choose the corresponding Known 1D, 2D or 3D point
iii. Use Match Type to decide whether to use the point pair for Position &
Height (3D), Position-only (2D) or Height-only (1D) control.
b. Press CONT (F1) to accept the point pair and go back to the table
c. Repeat steps 5a and 5b until all points have been added.
d. Press CALC (F1) to calculate the results
6. Check Residuals
Note – Through a Least Squares process, residuals (similar to misclosures) are calculated on each
point. Use the size and distribution of the residuals and your knowledge of your local control and
accuracy requirements to determine which points to include and which to remove from the calculation.
a. Select MORE (F5) to toggle between residuals on heights and in plan.
i. Assess the size and distribution of the residuals
Hint – Erroneous control coordinates or observations “often” have
high residuals. ESC back to the Match Points table to toggle between
1D, 2D and 3D or remove points from the calculation to troubleshoot
the problem. IMPORTANT – make only one change at a time to avoid
confusion.
b. Select RESLT (F3) to view the results
i. Assess the size of the shifts, rotation and scale for position
Hint – Problems with plan coordinates often show up as an
“unexpectedly large” rotation, scale or shift. ESC back to the Match
Points table to toggle between 1D, 2D and 3D or remove points from
the calculation to troubleshoot the problem. IMPORTANT – make only
one change at a time to avoid confusion.
ii. Select PAGE (F6) to assess the size of the slopes and shift in height
Hint – Problems with heights often show up as an “unexpectedly
large” slope or height shift. ESC back to the Match Points table to
toggle between 1D, 2D and 3D or remove points from the calculation
to troubleshoot the problem. IMPORTANT – make only one change at
a time to avoid confusion.
7. Once satisfied with the coordinate system calculation, select CONT (F1) from the
Check Residuals page to store the coordinate system.
a. Name the coordinate system. Hint – The site coordinate system will be stored
on the instrument and can be used again in the future. Name the system so
that you will be able to easily recognize it again.
b. Select STORE (F1) to store the system

Note – for Two-step or One-step methods, each control point may be 1D, 2D or 3D.
