Probably true Rover, and I might be using RTX and or Xfill instead of RTK infill which I've never cared for. Xfill is really useful.
@Jitterboogie - great suggestion regarding a static position with a local base.
Thanks everyone. This is, as always, my go to site for options in navigating around software/hardware obstacles to get a job done. Like to thank all of you who take a moment from drafting or have a few moments to hit the internet during a static observation to help others and share your knowledge (and opinions).
Maybe I can meet some of you in Vegas this coming November (I co-presented at the 2022 conference on Scanning the Fat Bears of Katmai).
If you feel inclined to help persuade the Access team on this functionality, feel free to add to the post! link above.
Thanks for your time - From Alaska - Joel.
FYI, Leica's GS18i works similar, you can NOT log raw data with IMU on, it forces you to either use IMU with no raw data stored OR turn IMU off and then you can store raw data. I leave IMU off unless I need it, because even with real time data collection, I also collect raw data as a method to post process if the need should arise.
IMU/tilt corrections are however very handy and over last two years I have made good use of it when appropriate, in fact I have collected shots I never would of been able to get leveling up. When I do those types of shots I collect a series of six shots and then repeat that series after a time offset. Bear in mind these are instantaneous shots, hit measure and it instantly stores whatever it has, so good practice would be more than one shot. Ends of culverts are another good use of tilt measurements so you don't have to try and level up. And finally with the GS18i imagery measurements you must use the tilt as you are just walking around capturing images from which you then pick points to measure, rod height and leveling are irrelevant in that capture procedure.

From Trimble Access release notes for 2024 version (see attached).
IMU tilt compensation is now available during RTK & Infill!
Now were back to what I was possible with earlier models of receivers. Only one survey style (RTK & Infill) when radio link for a myriad of reasons goes down.
