After setting up the base receiver, we can disconnect the controller; which base option allows us to do this?

The ability to disconnect the controller after the base is set up comes from enabling a logging device on the base. When logging is active, the base records the GNSS observations and timing data locally, so the operator doesn’t need to stay connected to the controller to keep the session running. You can then either use that logged data later for post-processing or pull corrections from the base through other means, while the base continues to operate autonomously. The other options don’t enable this autonomous operation: tilt relates to orientation, elevation mask just filters satellites, and GPS L2C is a signal choice, none of which allow the base to run without the controller.
