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...

I have the 2nd edition. It's so full of typos and other mistakes that it's hard to read. When I first got it I compiled several pages of goofs and s...

Since CRTN is aligned with the NSRS NAD83(2011), as long as your coordinate system is set to NAD83(2011) you can use the CRTN horizontal values as-is....

I'm not a railroad expert -- fortunately, in my area most them run straight as an arrow for miles (my local depot notwithstanding, it's at a 3-way int...

I wonder how much value adding other constellations to a 2+ hour observation brings to the table. I've always thought that a GPS L1-fixed (or iono-fr...

I've been using Xnview for many years and have never had a problem of any kind, let alone a problem with OneDrive interaction. I appear to have OneDr...

I use Xnview for this. It's free for non-commercial use, a license is required for commercial use. (If you figure out how to obtain a commercial lic...

Same idea, different format. Been carrying one of these in my vest for decades.

Not a comprehensive list, but maybe more will come to me later: Write a narrative for every boundary survey you perform, preferably recording each d...
