Chapter 1 Introduction

1.1 About the P1

Embedded with a high-precision GNSS module, the P1 GNSS receiver can automatically track constellations including GPS, GLONASS, BDS, Galileo, QZSS, and SBAS. Combined with its anti-jamming and anti-spoofing algorithm, it delivers centimeter-level RTK accuracy and sub-meter standalone accuracy. Its ultra-small size means it weighs even lighter than a smart phone.

1.2 P1 Features

Key features:

• Portable/Wearable
• Pocket-size: 122.5 x 62 x 22 mm (L*W*H)
• Lighter than a smart phone: 146g
• Precise positioning: centimeter-level RTK accuracy and sub-meter standalone accuracy
• IP65 waterproof & dustproof
• Integrated 4G/Bluetooth module, supports Ntrip Client mode
• Up to 15 hours operation

1.3 Packing List

Thanks for choosing the SingularXYZ P1 GNSS receiver. Please check your package for the items listed below.

1. Item with * is Optional.

2. You can connect the P1 on an optional centering pole for more precise height accuracy by using a connector.

[Image: Figure 1.1 P1 Connected on Centering Pole - A P1 GNSS receiver is mounted on top of a centering pole, which is a slender rod used for precise height measurements in surveying. The receiver is attached via a connector to the pole.]

Chapter 2 Set up the P1

This chapter introduces the setup of the P1 and notices before using it.

2.1 Environmental requirements

The P1 GNSS receiver is rugged and designed compactly, but to ensure reliable performance and a lengthy lifespan, it is strongly advised to use the P1 under the following circumstances:

• Operating temperature: -40 °C to + 85 °C (-40 °F to 185 °F)
• Storage temperature: -40 °C to + 85 °C (-40 °F to 185 °F)
• Humidity: 100% non-condensing
• Avoid violent impact (Designed to survive a 1.5 m drop onto concrete).
• Avoid soaking in fluid.
• Ensure a clear view of the sky.

2.2 Front Panel

The P1 GNSS Receiver front panel contains one power button and one OLED display.

• Power Button: Long press to turn on/off the receiver, short press to check receiver status.
• OLED display: You can check receiver status such as power, communication, coordinate, satellite, mode, RMS, etc.

[Image: Figure 2.1 P1 Front Panel - The front panel of the P1 GNSS receiver displays an OLED screen showing status information like satellite count, fix status, accuracy, and battery level. A single power button is also visible.]

2.3 Lower Housing

The receiver's lower housing contains one SIM card slot, one Type-C port for charging and data transmission, and one pole connector.

[Image: Figure 2.2 P1 Lower Housing - The lower part of the P1 GNSS receiver is shown, revealing a SIM card slot, a USB Type-C port for charging and data transfer, and a connector for attaching to a survey pole.]

Chapter 3 Operations

This part is based on the field surveying software SingularPad, which is optional and has additional functions. The workflow using SingularSuv is mostly the same.

3.1 Software Installation

SingularXYZ provides two field surveying software options: SingularSurv and SingularPad. You can install them on an optional SingularXYZ controller SC100, or directly on your phone. SingularSurv is free to use, while SingularPad offers more professional features. Please contact SingularXYZ for download information.

3.2 RTK Survey

The most frequently used work mode of the P1 is RTK based on CORS. First, you need to insert a SIM card to connect to the Internet, then follow the workflow below:

1. Connect with P1:
   • Navigate: Main interface -> Device -> Communication -> Set Device manufacturer, Device Type, Connection Type as shown in Figure 3.1.
   • Click the Bluetooth logo to connect to P1. The Bluetooth device name is its SN number on the back of P1. Find it on the Bluetooth Device list, select it, and connect. For example, in Figure 3.1, a P1 GNSS receiver named with its SN number 225008 was selected.

[Image: Figure 3.1 Connection - Screenshots of the P1 GNSS receiver's software interface. The first shows a "Communication" screen where device manufacturer, type, and connection type (Bluetooth) are set. The second shows a "Connect" screen with a device parameter (SN 225008) and connection status.]

2. Rover mode setting:

   The P1 GNSS receiver can receive correction data transmitted from continuously operating reference stations via phone Internet.

   • Go to Main interface -> Device -> Rover.
   • Click the first box shown in Figure 3.2 to set the data link as phone Internet.
   • Go to the next box for parameter setting. Enter CORS IP, port, user, and password, then select OK.
   • Back to Rover mode setting -> click the button “Get” to get the mountpoint -> choose one appropriate mountpoint.
   • Apply. If successful, you will be receiving data as shown in the bottom of Figure 3.3.

[Image: Figure 3.2 Rover Mode Setting - Screenshots of the software interface. One shows "Rover mode settings" with options for "Data Link" (set to "Phone Internet") and "Connect Mode: NTRIP". Another shows "Parameter Settings" with "CORS Settings" including IP address, port, user, and password fields.]

[Image: Figure 3.3 Set Rover Mode Succeeded - A screenshot of the software interface showing "Rover mode settings" with "Data Link" as "Phone Internet" and "MountPoint" selected. Below this, a "Receive data" section shows data transfer in progress (1161B) and options to "Share", "Collection", and "Apply".]

3. Create or select a project: Main interface -> Project -> Project Manager.

4. Start surveying: Main Interface -> Survey -> choose your survey mode and start.

[Image: Figure 3.4 Surveying - Screenshots of the software interface. One displays various survey modes like "Point Survey", "Detail Survey", "Control Point Survey", "Point Stakeout", "CAD", "Line Stakeout", "DSM Stakeout", and "Stake Road". The second shows a map view with current position, satellite status (FIXED), accuracy, base distance, and antenna height settings.]

Chapter 4 Data Import/Export

4.1 Import

You can import multiple data types, such as points and lines. Follow the steps below:

1. Data Setting: Main interface -> Project -> Import data -> Data Type -> Choose Import file Format -> Distance Unit -> next.
2. Locate your data profile: select and OK.

[Image: Figure 3.5 Import Data - Screenshots of the software interface. One shows the main menu with options like "Project Manager", "Localization", "Calibrate Point", "Coordinate System", "Points Database", "Code Library", "Import data", and "Export data". The second shows an "Import File" screen where "Data Type" and "Choose Import File Format" (e.g., Cass format(dat)) can be selected.]

If you cannot find the required data format, you can define it: Main interface -> Project -> Import data -> Data Type -> Choose Import file Format -> New -> define.

[Image: Figure 3.4 Define Data Format - Screenshots of the software interface. One shows "File Format" selection with options like "Cass format(dat)", "Local coordinates format", and "Geodetic coordinates format". The other shows a "Custom format" screen for defining format name, extension, field delimiter, and mapping options to fields like Point Name, Code, Easting, etc.]

4.2 Export

You can export data into multiple formats, such as .dat, .txt, etc. Follow the steps below:

Main interface -> Project -> Export data -> choose Export Path -> File Name -> Choose Export File Format -> Distance Unit -> Export.

[Image: Figure 3.5 Export - Screenshots of the software interface. One shows an "Export File" screen with options for "Export Path", "File Name", and "Choose Export File Format". A prompt appears asking "The file was exported successfully, do you want to share it?". The other shows a "Custom format" screen for defining export data formats.]

Additionally, you can define export data formats: Main interface -> Project -> Export data -> choose Export Path -> File Name -> Choose Export File Format -> New -> define your format.

[Image: Figure 3.5 Define Data Format - Screenshots of the software interface. One shows an "Export File" screen with options for "Export Path", "File Name", and "Choose Export File Format". A prompt appears asking "The file was exported successfully, do you want to share it?". The other shows a "Custom format" screen for defining export data formats.]
