Turning Tilt Comp On/Off in Siteworks

Sitech Northeast
7 steps
16 seconds

In the plan view of Siteworks tap on the picture of the satellite in the upper right corner that includes the number of satellites you are tracking.

The GNSS Status screen will appear. Click on the Settings tab on the upper right half of the screen.

At the bottom of the Settings tab, you will see an option to enable Tilt Compensation with a drop-down menu to select either yes or no.

To enable Tilt Comp change the drop-down menu to yes.

Tap on Accept.

A green A will appear over the satellite logo letting you know that Tilt Comp is active. If the A is red with a slash through it, it means Tilt Comp is enabled but the IMU sensor within the rover still needs to be calibrated. You may also notice your residuals flashing red until this IMU sensor is calibrated. To calibrate the IMU sensor simply move the rover rod in circular motion or walk about 30ft with the rod over your shoulder. Once the green A comes in and the red flashing stops you know that the IMU sensor has been calibrated.

In addition, once that IMU sensor is calibrated a bearing arrow will appear on your position crosshair in Siteworks letting you know what direction you are facing on site.

In order for the bearing arrow in Step 7 to be accurate the power button and the LED status panel on the rover must be facing you. Tilt Compensation cannot be used when Measuring a Control Point and you must be in Measure Topo or Stakeout Mode to turn on Tilt Compensation within the GNSS Status/Settings screen.

To turn Tilt Comp back off repeat steps 1-5.
