@ Norman_Oklahoma IMO the sweet spot between precision and cost is the 3″ model. That sounds reasonable.

@ bill93 Put some distance numbers on the angle value. At a distance of 200' a 5" angular error would only produce a linear error of 0.005'. Please ex...

@ lurker Like I said, it’s how you set it too. Eventually we’re going to buy a new total station. I think we should buy one that meets our job require...

@ chris-bouffard Absolutely not.

@ Norman_Oklahoma I did mention ancillary equipment during the discussion and using sound methodology. One guy is concerned about the possibility of g...

@ Steinhoff Thanks for pointing out the difference between reporting a number and its actual accuracy or should that be precision? Do precision requir...

@ john-hamilton Thanks for the reply. Reading all the replies makes me want to talk with whoever is in charge of the project.

@ bm-nolan The SureFix engine works by running two unique RTK engines in parallel. I've heard JAVAD uses three RTK engines. We use network RTK. Does a...

@ Norman_Oklahoma Aspirational. I had to look that up.

@ BStrand I assume you meant Burlington, KS. What kind of survey project was it? I assume there's an energy company out there somewhere. Maybe their t...

@ Norman_Oklahoma I found something questionable. I subtracted 6" from the setup with a short BS.

@ Norman_Oklahoma Maybe I did misunderstand the YouTube video. Probably the same angle adjustment logic is good for any kind of closed traverse. I for...

@ john-hamilton We've been adjusting raw data (traverse point elevations - for a topo) in our data collector and coordinate data (traverse point N, E ...

@ I love my job Will look for it next time. Thanks.

@ Jon Payne If that was the process, I would expect that the difference in distance between GPS102-GPS101 is indicative of the error in the GPS observ...
