4. Step 4: Initialize Tilt IMU Function & Start Surveying

   Once connected and receiving corrections, initialize the tilt IMU function by gently shaking the survey pole for approximately 5 seconds. This calibrates the IMU for accurate tilt compensation. Verify that the RTK status changes to "FIXED" in the software, indicating a stable and accurate solution. You can also view the number of satellites being tracked. With a FIXED solution, you can begin your surveying tasks with centimeter-level accuracy.
