# Set Survey-in time & position accuracy limit

**This step-by-step tutorial will let you to manually set the survey-in time and the position accuracy limit for the Base.**

First, connect your GNSS device to a computer using a USB micro cable.

Make sure the connection icon is blinking in the bottom state bar. It indicates that the serial communication between the computer and the GNSS device is working.

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Survey-in time" %}
A new window showing by default “**GNSS Configuration**” opens.

1. So first, click on “**Advanced Configuration**” to display all the configuration registers.
2. Then click on the small ‘+’ on the **CFG-TPMODE** line
3. You can now have access to an expanded menu and click on **CFG-TPMODE-SVIN\_MIN\_DUR**
4. Enter a valid position value in seconds (ex : a 60s value = 60)
5. Click consecutively on **RAM**, **BBR** and **Flash** to write changes into RAM and both non-volatile memories (BBR and Flash)
6. Check the 3 corresponding commands are present in the “Ready to send” box and then click on ‘**Send**’

2. Then click on the small ‘+’ on the **CFG-TPMODE** line
3. You can now have access to an expanded menu and click on **CFG-TPMODE-SVIN\_ACC\_LIMIT**
4. Enter a valid position value in millimeter with a 0.1mm scale (ex : a value of 1m = 10000 / a value of 3.2598m = 32598 / a value of 0.0054m = 54, etc... )
5. Click consecutively on **RAM**, **BBR** and **Flash** to write changes into RAM and both non-volatile memories (BBR and Flash)
6. Check the 3 corresponding commands are present in the “Ready to send” box and then click on ‘**Send**’
