Trimble trav kit

I can't see the image. Are you posting from a computer? If so, use the upload a file button in blue at the lower right of the page. if it says the file is too large, I go online and find a jpg compression program (there are tons of free ones, and I'm too lazy to do it manually), and run the pic thru the program, then you should be able to post the picture

Thank you. It's view-able now.

I have not seen that monster before, but with an optic on the side, a level bubble and threads, I'm curious, does it have 3 legs that stick out the bottom?

This is it in all its glory. It has the three pins/legs for sitting in the tribrach.

My guess would be to shade the vial from the sun, but that is just a guess.

It is to shade the bubble. The other neat thing ours has is a lever that swings out and gives the same HI measurement as to the bottom notch on an S6.

What they said. I didn't find anything, and what they say makes good sense to me.

I said it be something simple. It almost seems over kill, but I guess it's not amateur kit. This has the sticky out arm also.

I use the cover to hide the level bubble after chasing the thing around for ten minutes. The compensaters, sure lock, etc features in the S6 makes it so you don't need to worry about being 2 minutes out of level. I love the "bottom notch" measuring point too, but be careful if you use Star*Net because starnet thinks those are HIs. I learned that the hard way, but TBC saved my rear.

How are you importing the data to Star*net? I use JobXML importer an have not had that problem.

I write my own translator for getting the raw data into my database and then from my database to Star*net (and geolab), so it isn't an issue with me but I would think as long as it is tagged as being to the bottom notch it should work, because both values (measured to the notch and reduced to true vertical) are in the job file. However, the dc file (ascii) only has the reduced (true vertical) value but not the raw measured HI. If you do not properly tag the HI as being to the notch then it will be in error.

I downloaded a style sheet from Trimble's website. Seems like I google "Trimble Custom Export Style Sheets" then click the first link in Google. Scroll down for "Traverse Format Starnet" and install that in your TSC2/3. Then export a custom format file and choose the file Traverse Format Starnet.
