• Wizards: There are two wizards available: RTK and SPAN.
The Real Time Kinematic (RTK) wizard takes you through the steps needed to set up your RTK
system. You must have an RTK-capable receiver model or the wizard does not continue past its
opening page.
The SPAN wizard takes you through the steps needed to set up your Synchronized Position
Attitude Navigation (SPAN) system. You must have a SPAN-capable receiver model, or the
wizard does not continue past its opening page. The SPAN wizard can help with the alignment or
calibration of a SPAN system.
To display a wizard window, if you have the necessary receiver model, select
SPAN Wizard or RTK Wizard from the Tools menu or select one of their buttons in the Window
Toolbar.
