I understand from one of my colleagues that if you use the 12i's IMU that the pole height can not be adjusted after the shot is stored. Apparently the position of the pole tip can not be recalculated after the event.
Also is anyone using a 12i with a TSC-3? While we have updated our TSC-3's to the latest version of Access, they reject connecting to a 12i - although a plain 12 works ok. For now we are forced into using a TSC-7 with?ÿ it. ( I suspect that the chap who did our TSC-3 upgrade did not do the job properly )

I can definitely adjust the pole height during QC. The mark-to-mark deltas and the tilt distance, and the final point position, will be updated after a rod height change and recompute.
Now, if you're not using TBC for QC, then it would be a major pain to change the rod height, since you would have to apply the tilt angle and direction manually...

TSC3s can still only run the older versions of Access (pre-2018) and as such are not compatible with the R12i. If you're not liking the 7, try the 5, which is much more similar to the 3.

We do use TBC for QA - I think he was talking about adjusting the height in the field

The dealer told me TSC3s straight up don't have the horsepower to run the IMU so I'm guessing that's what you're seeing.?ÿ It'll only work with a TSC 5 or 7.
Ah - another of those things our Trimble dealer didn't think to mention.
Thanks, Good to have it confirmed.

@fairleywell Until you start an observation, it??s giving live precision calculations. Once you start an observation, it calculates your precision from multiple observations. This is how Trimble RTK has been for many years. You can store once your precision values stop getting better if you are concerned with smaller numbers.
@bstrand IMU has nothing to do with tree canopy. The R12 has a faster CPU, and if you are coming from only GPS + Glonass, it is Galileo providing ?ÿthe extra L5 type signals that go through leaves since I haven??t seen me tracking more than 5 US satellites broadcasting L5 while all Galileo (and many Beidou) have L5 type signals.
@jimcox not true. It stores the tilt azimuth and tilt distance. Easy to recalculate when you change rod height
@rover83 Ouch. I also have PLS/PMs who aren't tech savvy, but fortunately they realize that we're going to leverage new technologies as they come along and they trust me to implement it and get everyone trained.?ÿ
I can definitely relate to the low bar for hiring. But interestingly, some of the young guys we hired in as entry level rodmen who stuck it out and became instrument men are pretty tech savvy and catch on to all of this stuff very quickly, especially the ones who are ambitious and want to learn. Apparently growing up with PCs, cell phones, and video games isn't all bad... lol.
That's right.?ÿ I've just been lumping the tilt and canopy features together since that's how my local guys have been trying to sell it.
