Emlid Flow/RS2+ Positioning Mode

[ryan.gay2013 (Ryan Gay)]

What happened to the positioning mode switch in the GNSS settings? Its gone! I’ve tried it on multiple devices (Android and iOS) and it is no where to he seen. I cannot get my base station into static mode anymore.

Reach Firmware 31 Beta 3 is out

Hi @mark1st.john, Yes, we removed the Static option for the Positioning mode in the GNSS settings of multi-band receivers. It will use the Kinematic option as a default. It’ll not affect the solution calculation on your receiver.

Option to change Positioning Mode is missing from Emlid Flow

I can confirm that there is definitely a difference between kinematic mode and static mode when it comes to processing LIDAR data. Earlier this year we have massive amount of logged LiDAR data become useless because the mode the base was in after an update defaulted to kinematic instead of static. We need this option( whatever it does) in the background to allow us to use our 7 Emlid RS2 base stations for our business. We will not be updating past FW30.1 until this feature is reapplied.

Hi @ryan.gay2013,

as mentioned by @davehofer1993, we have removed Static mode from the GNSS settings for RTK and multi-band units as of firmware version 31. We see from our tests that the results don’t differ much from Kinematic.

I’ve also replied to a thread that is mentioned by Tim and we’d like to figure out what’s causing the issue there.

Let me know if you encounter any difficulties while working with Kinematic mode as well and we will investigate it together.
