California boy here, and a scrawny one at that. I have a hard enough time staying warm when it's 45°F, I simply can't imagine trying to work in anyth...
Just as a reality check, I disabled a single RTK vector in a 75-station project I did a couple of years ago, and it reduced the reported number of obs...
This is the procedure I've been using at a drainage lift station structure that I've been monitoring for the last 8 years. It's a small site, about 1...
Take a look at Swiss Micro. They have some modernized HP-like models that look pretty good.
FWIW, I've had good luck connecting to legacy Trimble equipment using a USB-to-serial converter with the FTDI chipset.
That's a good price, even if a couple of them don't work, since it includes free shipping and a bunch of cables.. But I have too many of them already...
I default to clockwise, but so many of the maps I draw have multiple parcels with common lines, so making them all clockwise isn't possible.
I have a fleet of mid-90s Trimble 4000SSi receivers that I still use on occasion. I typically set them up and leave them unattended for the day, lock...
It's a zener diode to protect against voltage spikes or polarity reversal when the serial port is powered up. I'm not sure it's necessary, but there's...
No. My Carlson Surveyor+ data collector has +12v available on pin 4 of its 9-pin port, so I put the Parani in an aluminum box bolted to the DC and sp...
That would be my guess, but I have almost no experience running them off the native battery. Except for some initial experimentation, I've always pow...
As the owner/operator of a very small business (no employees, annual billings usually less than $250k), your article wasn't really directed at me, so ...
It's been a good long while since I've run a 2D adjustment, but I *think* you can specify that the project is a 2D job in the project options, and the...
It still works, I use it occasionally to load search coordinates into my etrex 20.
It's a semantic distinction rather than a practical one. The RTK vector data in the .gps file are analogous to the angles and distances recorded in t...
OP currently accepts GVX files containing RTK, RTN and/or PP vector data. Is it ready for prime time? Maybe. I tried to run a large project throu...
With the Leica DNA003, that's one of the statistics available after a measurement is taken.
My experience with NRTK (both CRTN and a Cansel Trimble network) is that the reported vertical accuracies are quite optimistic, even for 300-epoch obs...
Alas, the list was hand-written long before the digital age came to my house. If I even kept a copy, I would have no idea where to find it.
Yes. The only error source introduced by this setup that I can think of is that the geoid model will, in theory, be applied in the wrong place, but t...
