This typically involves downloading the control station data as reference data (*base*) for the correction of raw data acquired from the *rover*.
Not much can be done in the field for this, except for collecting the raw data at 1 Hz frequencies.

```{admonition} Did you know?
:class: suggestion
One of the Leica GS sensors can be set to *base* station mode while using the other to record *rover* data.
The *base* station data recorded in this way can be used as a substitute for Kartverket data, especially when recording data 10-15 km away from the nearest station.
See {ref}`hardware:setup:base` and {ref}`software:setup:base` on how to set things up.

# Downloading base station dGNSS data

For post processing of the acquired dGNSS data in the field we require additional data from a base station.
At UNIS we have access to the Longyearbyen base station data ("LYRS") through kartverket.

#### Connecting and configuring the GS Sensor
## Software Setup

### Connecting and configuring the GS Sensor

Once the sensor and controller have been turned on and mounted on the poles, you will need to connect the controller with the sensors, specifying the correct/absolute height of the sensor above the measuring point.

```

After successfully connecting to the sensor, you should double-check the sensor settings, including the correct sensor height parameters, which GNSS network to use (e.g., GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, Galileo), and more.
Finally, it is crucial to store the raw data if you want to apply post-processing.
This requires the raw data to be stored at 1.0s intervals.

### Base mode setup
(hardware:setup:base)=
### Base station mode setup

The Leica GS sensors can be easily turned into a portable *base station*.
Simply connect to the sensor from with Leica Captivate, then proceed by clicking **Switch to base (3)**.
Within a few seconds, the base station starts recording and storing the data.

Make sure to proceed with the **Base Setup (1)**.
For most purposes, it suffices to specify data acquisition **Over any point (3)**, which then prompts for the antenna parameters and a *Point ID*.
The *Point ID* represents the name of the *base station*.
Give it a unique name that allows you to find it on the SD card.

```

After finalising the initial setup, proceed to the **Settings (2)** menu.
Specifically, modify the **Satellite Tracking (1)** and **GNSS raw data logging (2)** parameters found within the **GS base (1)** menu.
Always enable *GNS*, *Glonass* and *Galileo* for tracking - BeiDou is not supported.
Also make sure to *Log GNSS raw data* and *Store data on* the GS sensor SD card at 1.0s intervals.
The *Leica format (MDB)* is supported by the Leica Infinity software, which can also export it in different formats.

Switching the GS sensor back to *rover* mode is easy - just click **Switch to rover (3)** when done in base mode.
