This is a GPS Surveying "high productivity" technique which is used to determine centimetre accuracy baselines to static points, using site observation times of the order of 1 minute. Only carrier phase that has been converted into unambiguous "carrier pseudo-range" is used, necessitating that the ambiguities be resolved BEFORE the survey starts (and again at any time the satellite tracking is cut, e.g. due to signal obstructions). It is known as the "stop & go" technique because the coordinates of the receiver are only of interest when it is stationary (the "stop" part), but the receiver continues to function while it is being moved (the "go" part) from one stationary setup to the next. As the receiver must track the satellite signals at all times, hence the transport of the receiver from one static point to another must be done carefully.
