Do's & Don'ts: Best Practices and Common Pitfalls
Do's
-
Use a compatible antenna: Ensure you're using an antenna that supports L1 & L2/L5 frequencies for optimal performance.
-
Keep firmware up to date: Always update your device's firmware to the latest version to benefit from the newest features, fixes, and improvements.
-
Create a PointPerfect Live Thing: Set up your account and device via PointPerfect Live portal to begin using the service.
-
Leverage Zero-Touch Provisioning (ZTP): Use ZTP to save time when scaling up deployments.
Don'ts
-
Don't use an L1-only antenna: This will limit signal reception and reduce accuracy.
-
Don't disable required signals: Ensure all necessary GNSS constellations and signals for PointPerfect Live operation are enabled. Disabling them will impair performance.
-
Don't test indoors: Indoor environments introduce interference and degrade accuracy. For optimal results, test in open, outdoor spaces.
-
Don't set a low baud rate on COMs: Avoid using a low baud rate, as it can slow down communication speed, reduce device responsiveness, and hinder correction performance.
