The new version 2.81 advances the capabilities of surveying offices with key new functionality, including: NEW! SketchUp File Support – Import and export SketchUp.skp files Trimble R10 – easily import raw GNSS data for post-processing from the new Trimble R10 receiver using “drag and drop” or the Device Pane. Automatically assure the quality of stored tilt errors for RTK and PPK measurements. Review and edit xFill observations together with traditional RTK vectors. Customer Preview: new look and feel – quickly access both the most commonly used commands and new commands from the new ribbon menus.  A link on the Start… Read More

The webinar is now available to view online, despite the best efforts of the Friday 13th I.T. Gremlins! Trimble VISION integrates calibrated digital cameras within Trimble total stations. In combination with Trimble Access field software, image and survey data are merged enhancing the surveyor’s productivity. Trimble Business Centre office software overlays survey data on the captured panoramic still images, enabling the surveyor to efficiently document features that were surveyed in the field. Trimble Business Centre also enables the surveyor to make terrestrial photogrammetric observations and compute point coordinates using the Trimble VISION images. This Trimble VISION photogrammetry enables measurement of… Read More

It has come to our attention that it is no longer possible to compute fixed positions from GNSS (GPS) observations using Trimble Geomatics Office software. This results from the number of GPS seconds rolling over 1 billion shortly after midnight on 14th September 2011 (0 seconds having been set on 6th January 1980) and the WAVE Baseline Processor not being able to handle the numbers involved therefore any data observed on or after this date will not process to a fixed position in TGO. It is still possible to process float solutions although this does not usually provide sufficient accuracy… Read More

Anyone who uses Trimble office software to process GPS data relies (even though they may not know it) on the antenna.ini file stored on their PC to allow TGO, TBC, etc to recognise the antennae that were used to receive the data during the survey. Without this file it becomes necessary to enter all of the antenna phase centre offset information, and other antenna specific data, by hand in the software. Much easier to let the computer do it for you! As improvements are made in antenna technology new models are brought out by the numerous manufacturers making it important… Read More

For all those who use Trimble office software to post-process GNSS survey data there is now a new configuration update file available dated 20th August 2010. This file updates the antenna and receiver information used in GPS post processing to ensure that the best possible levels of accuracy are achieved from your data. As the Ordnance Survey take advantage of the regular improvements in receiver and antenna technology it is important to keep up to date with the characteristics of any new hardware in order to calculate GPS positions accurately and correctly. The latest Configuration update file can be found… Read More
