I think it is important to make a distinction between the types of error in reading the HI. If it is a random error of 2mm reading the tape from time ...
As a test for those who think a systematic error in measure up of 2mm doesn't matter, add 2mm to your total station measure up height for a couple of ...
As Bill said most box tapes have a moving metal hook so that when you measure to the outside it pushes back to give the correct length and alternative...
Trimble sent out a questionnaire a while back asking their customers about data collector screen sizes and other features. Looks like they listened to...
I have an Asus gaming laptop that can easily handle massive point clouds but Carlson Survey OEM 2020 drawings with a large number of points has a very...
@bigdroner It's a while since I used that setup with Paranis and it was with Topsurv but from what I remember if you are using the Paranis you need to...
Have you got the rc handle on instrument and rc-2 remote at pole with cable from it to data collector?

Keep them coming. Was thinking of recording videos like this for my kids and future grand kids to look at in years to come if they were interested. No...
On re-reading the specs the S6 value was for 100m and the S7 value is for 50m so there is no improvement on the beam size from the S6. You were correc...
@bstrand I usually measure just short of the corner and then intersect lines in cad. If you measure straight online with the corner half the beam trav...
@rover83?ÿ I see that information now in the datasheets. Seems the S6 was 4cm x 8cm but the S7 is 2cm x 4cm. Looks like the S7 is very close to the TS...
I have seen most of the specs for the robots but they do not deal with how the angle of incidence effects the measurement. Mainly from what I have rea...
Interesting videos. Good to see how things are done in another part of the world.
@norman-oklahoma You must be using a completely different Trimble robot to me. I have been using an newer model S6 for about 3 years with passive tra...
@jim-frame Solo operator with occasional helper. Geesh.
If your busy enough and cashflow is good definitely upgrade if it's more than 10 years old. I have a Topcon GPT robotic I bought new in 2006 that stil...
