Yellow indicates a statistically sound baseline, while red indicates a compromised baseline. Check to make sure all the baselines are selected before clicking "Save." Note any baselines that were not selected automatically this indicates poor statistics on the baseline solution.Īll baselines should now show up in color. Select "Survey" from the upper menu and then "Process GPS Baselines."Ī window showing processed baselines will appear, listing some statistics. Make sure nothing in your project is selected (the same in this case as selecting everything). This coordinate will still exist in your original job file. Delete this coordinate by clicking the red ’x’ in the upper right. Select the field coordinate (indicated with a ’beach ball’) from the list on the left. Enter the desired coordinates and change the confidence levels in the drop-down menus on the right to Control Quality. In the resulting window, click on the ’beach ball’ in the upper right and select the appropriate coordinate system. (A baseline is the distance and direction between two points, and can only be acquired between points with data collected simultaneously.) Baselines to continuous survey points will not show up until data have been processed. Baselines between static points will show in gray. Your points should now be visible on the map. A likely error message after importing ’rover’ data is that your starting point is of low or unknown quality. Still, it’s a good idea to review the import report to see if there is an understandable error. A ’Continuous Segment’ represents desired data and should be selected.Įrror messages are not uncommon and can often be ignored. Note that a ’Roving Segment’ represents data collected between specified data collection (the rover collects data continuously, even when survey objectives are not specified) and should not be selected. Hit Open.Īs with the base data, check to make sure the occupation information is correct, especially point names, antenna types, antenna heights, and antenna height measurement methods. Survey controller files show up with the file extension. Survey Controller DC File for a kinematic survey collected in a survey controller).
Select Import from the left-hand menu/tabs and select the appropriate file format (e.g. If desired, show point names on the map by right-clicking the map screen and selecting Point Labels->Name->OK. If needed, you can change properties such as antenna height here. Double-click on the point to see point properties. Enter a value and click ’OK.’ Your data point will appear on the map. If a projection has not been defined during project surveying, you will be prompted to enter a grid value for your base station (or whatever data point you are importing first). Similarly, data pertaining to different survey points must have different names, or they will be merged. Data pertaining to the same marker should have the same name. site name, antenna type, antenna height, antenna height measurement method) by clicking the box to change and either selecting the correct value from the resulting drop-down menu or enter the correct value by hand. Check that the information shown is correct. Select ’DAT File’ from the left-hand menu, browse for and select your data file, and hit ’Open.’ If you have more than one data file pertaining to your base station, you can select all of them by holding the ’Ctrl’ key, and open them simultaneously.Ī table showing your data file(s) should come up. Select Import from the left-hand menu/tabs. Note that all project properties can be easily adjusted after data import by selecting Projects from the left-hand menu/tab and then selecting Project Properties. If you collected your survey data in a particular coordinate system, click on the Coordinate System tab and change to the coordinate system used in your survey. Click Okay.Ĭhange Project Properties as needed. We recommend processing static and kinematic data separately, even when there is a shared base.
If you collected data using real-time kinematic methods and do not need to post-process it, see our Trimble 4700/5700/R7 - How to execute a real-time kinematic survey from start to finish. TGO can be used to view, process, adjust, and output your survey data into a spreadsheet format.
