The Base Menu allows the user to select between Survey-In or Fixed Base setups.

## Mode

In **Survey-In** mode, the minimum observation time can be set. The default is 60 seconds. The device will wait for the position accuracy to be better than 1 meter before a Survey-In is started. Don't be fooled; setting the observation time to 4 hours is not going to significantly improve the accuracy of the survey - use [PPP](https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/how-to-build-a-diy-gnss-reference-station#gather-raw-gnss-data) instead.

If the NTRIP server is enabled the device will first attempt to connect to WiFi. Once WiFi connects the device will attempt to connect to the NTRIP mount point. Once connected, every second a few hundred bytes, up to ~2k, will be transmitted to your mount point.

The RTK device will monitor each NTRIP Server connection and automatically attempt to restart it if WiFi or if the Caster is disconnected.

## Commonly Use Coordinates

*A list of common coordinates*

For users who return to the same base position or monument, the coordinates can be saved to a 'Commonly Used Coordinates' list. A nickname and the X/Y/Z positions are saved to the list. Any record on the list can be loaded from the list into the X/Y/Z fields allowing quick switching without the need to hand record or re-enter coordinates from day-to-day repositioning of the base.

## RTCM Message Rates

When the device is in Base mode, the fix rate is set to 1Hz. This will override any Rover setting.

Additionally, RTCM messages are generated at a rate of 1Hz. If lower RTCM rates are desired the RTCM Rates menu can be used to modify the rates of any supported RTCM message. This can be helpful when using longer-range radios that have lower bandwidth.

## Supported Lat/Long Coordinate Formats

These coordinate formats are automatically detected and converted as needed. The coordinates are displayed in the format they are entered. If a different format is desired, the coordinate display format can be changed via the serial Base menu.
