For Static surveying, the GPS receiver / field operator MUST input the SITE ID, the

ANTENNA HEIGHT and the RECORD INTERVAL.

Some of these Parameters can be saved to memory, (Antenna Height & Record

Interval), But, it highly recommended the field operator input the SITE ID for each and

every station occupation.

Good field procedures, Input the SITE ID, then verify the proper Antenna Height and

Record Interval parameters are properly set per the GPS Project Manager's instructions.
