Auto Topo (GNSS)

To automatically collect points with GNSS rover receiver by auto-saving a point each time a specified criterion is met.

Auto Topo survey is supported in GNSS survey configurations with a GNSS rover receiver and allows you to collect points automatically. While the GNSS rover receiver obtains the required GNSS solution, MAGNET Field checks the status of the criterion in real time and saves the obtained coordinates as another auto topo point in the job at the moment the criterion condition is met.

The required GNSS solution and the criterion that triggers the saving of a point are defined in the Auto Topo Survey dialog. This dialog is a part of the Configuration wizard for GNSS survey. It's possible to review and change the criterion at any time in the auto topo survey by clicking in the Auto Topo dialog's title bar.


Use the view selector in the dialog title bar to switch between Normal view and Map view at any time:


Switch to the Normal view to review and modify collected points data before going to the auto topo mode.


Switch to the Map view to start the auto topo survey and automatically collect points.


Note: To make auto topo points and their coordinates viewable in the job, open the Points dialog (click > > to open), click / in the title bar, select filter by Type from the drop-down menu and check the Auto Topo Points box in the list of point types. To display auto topo points on the Map, check the Auto Topo box in the Points tab of the Map Properties dialog (click > > to open).


For GNSS survey configurations with enabled post processing (the Post Processing box is checked in the Receiver Make dialog), the GNSS raw data file logging controls are available in both, Normal view and Map view of the Auto Topo dialog:


For more information on the available controls and GNSS receiver statuses, see the Status Panel (GNSS survey) and Topo panel (GNSS survey).
