Status panel for GNSS survey

The status panel along the top of the dialog displays GNSS-specific icons and indicators. To display this information click , and to hide it click on the left of the dialog:

Logging a *.tps file to a receiver or a controller. This icon will be displayed, if the Post-Processing check box is selected in the Receiver Make dialog. There are two statuses:

  • "without a pencil" - the file logging is not started by a user;
  • "moving pencil" - the file logging is started by a user.

The icon is displayed when Depth Finder is selected in the Peripherals dialog for the rover receiver:

  • Gray ship - a depth finder is not connected to the controller;
  • Color ship - a depth finder is connected to the controller but it is in inactive mode;
  • Color ship with question mark - a depth finder is connected to the controller but it is not transmitting any data;
  • Color ship with green curves - a depth finder is connected to the controller and it is transmitting data.

The icon is displayed when mmGPS+ is selected in the Peripherals dialog for the rover receiver:

  • Crossed out laser - a sensor is not receiving the correction data from the laser transmitter;
  • Laser with a beam - a sensor is receiving the correction data from the laser transmitter and the difference between GNSS elevation and laser elevation is less than the value in the Height Difference Limit field of mmGPS+ Options dialog;

  • Laser with a beam and two vertical arrows - a sensor is receiving the correction data from the laser transmitter and the difference between GNSS elevation and laser elevation is more than the value in the Height Difference Limit field of mmGPS+ Options dialog.
  • Laser with a circle on its corner - a sensor is receiving the correction data from the laser transmitter but the signal is partially blocked by a plastic corner of the transmitter.

The robotic total station is tracking and performing the observations. The icon is displayed in GNSS mode when the Hybrid Positioning™ mode is activated.
PPP engine supplies the current solution, the receiver obtains PPP corrections data. (Available for GNSS survey configurations with activated Skybridge™ or Starpoint™ in the Receiver Settings dialog). More about Precise Point Positioning (PPP).

Quality of the radio link for correction data transmission (the age in seconds of the last correction message received by the rover is displayed).

Crossed out link indicator means the rover has never received any correction data.

GNSS solution:

  • Green is a Fixed solution for RTK tasks, DGPS solution for DGPS tasks, PPP Full solution for PPP tasks;
  • Yellow is a Float solution for RTK tasks, PPP Normal solution for PPP tasks;
  • Red is a standalone solution, Convergence PPP stage for PPP tasks;
  • Blue is a Fixed solution when mmGPS+ is used.

H stands for RMS values of the horizontal coordinates for the given GNSS solution in the current units.

V stands for RMS values of the vertical coordinates for the given GNSS solution in the current units.
The icon displays the number of the GNSS satellites tracked (N) and the number of GNSS satellites used in position determination (M).

Receiver memory free space in the percentages and battery charge level statuses. The icons with a question mark mean the corresponding information is unavailable. An exclamation mark on the battery means critically low charge level (from 0 to 10%).

Controller memory free space in the percentages and battery charge level statuses. The icons with a question mark mean the corresponding information is unavailable. An exclamation mark on the battery means critically low charge level (from 0 to 10%).
Opens the Topo survey settings to view and edit.

If the controller is connected to an external receiver, the memory storage and battery power information will be displayed for the receiver and the controller .

Note: If the Average value is more than 1 measurement during the Topo survey the application recalculates RMS (in the both planes) while logging new measurements.

Topo panel

The Topo Panel along the bottom of the dialog displays a number of buttons used to provide information and facilitate surveying.
