This quick video walks you through the key hardware components of the Tersus MVP S1, including powering on and charging the device. 

Installing the MVP Capture Software

The MVP Capture software supports both Android and iOS devices.

  • Android – the installation APK is included on the Micro SD card provided with the Tersus MVP S1. The APK can be installed directly from the Micro SD card, transferred to your Android device using the included SD card adapter, or copied to your device through a computer. 

Connecting to your Device

How to Configure iOS Network (Manual IP Setup)

Open the MVP S1 Wi-Fi settings on your iOS device and find the IPv4 configuration options.

Set the IP configuration from Automatic to Manual, then enter the following details:

  • IP Address: 10.42.0.100
  • Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0

Save the settings once complete.

This setup is required to ensure your iOS device maintains proper network access while connected to the scanner. Without this configuration, you may internet issues when trying to connect via NTRIP.

Please note: this step is only required on iOS devices due to system limitations. Android devices do not require any manual IP configuration.

Using the MVP S1 Capture App

The MVP S1 Capture software is designed to be simple and intuitive, allowing you to easily control data collection while visualizing captured data in real time. This enables immediate verification of coverage and data quality directly in the field.

  2. Copy and transfer installation files from the MicroSD card to your PC.
