Panels, Buttons and Indicators (GNSS)

Status Panel is displayed at the top of the dialog. The status panel contains indicators showing the current status of the connected GNSS receiver and other equipment.

Click to show the status panel at the top of the dialog, click to hide the status panel.

Topo Panel is always displayed in the bottom of the dialog. The topo panel contains buttons to perform measurements and save the results to the current job. When the map view is used, the topo panel also displays information about the current point and measurement and has several input fields for quickly adjusting this data without exiting the map view.


Status panel (GNSS)


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:
  • Gray ship - a depth finder is not connected to the controller;
  • 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 from LBand satellite. (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 - link quality is not detected;
  • Red indicator and no colored bars - link quality is 0 or age is more than 5 sec;
  • Yellow indicator and 1 colored bar - link quality is 1 to 49 percents;
  • Yellow indicator and 2 colored bars - link quality is 50 to 79 percents;
  • Green indicator and 3 colored bars - link quality is 80 to 97 percents;
  • Green indicator and 4 colored bars - link quality is 98 to 100 percents.
GNSS solution:
  • The red bar indicates an autonomous solution in standalone mode, Convergence PPP stage in PPP mode or DION extrapolated solution.
  • The yellow bar indicates a float solution in RTK mode, PPP Low or PPP Normal solution in PPP mode.
  • The green bar indicates a fixed solution in RTK mode, PPP Full solution in PPP mode or DGPS solution.
  • The blue bar indicates a fixed solution when mmGPS+ is used.
Skybridge™ status indicator.
Displayed in RTK and Network RTK configuration with enabled PPP mode and Skybridge™ service:
  • The red circle indicates that the Skybridge™ status is unknown, point saving with current PPP solution is disabled.
  • The circle with timer indicates that the rover receiver is not ready to work in the Skybridge™ mode, point saving with current PPP solution is disabled.
  • The green circle indicates that the rover receiver is ready to work in the Skybridge™ mode, point saving with current PPP solution is enabled.
By default, H stands for RMS error of the horizontal coordinates in the current units for the current epoch. When storing a point is initiated, this field outputs RMS error for averaged horizontal coordinates. (To view RMS error value for the current epoch while averaging coordinates is in progress, use customizable data fields in the map view and select the Epoch HRMS parameter to display).
By default, V stands for RMS error of the vertical coordinates in the current units for the current epoch. When storing a point is initiated, this field outputs RMS error for averaged vertical coordinates. (To view RMS error value for the current epoch while averaging coordinates is in progress, use customizable data fields in the map view and select the Epoch VRMS parameter to display).
The icon displays the number of the GNSS satellites tracked and the number of GNSS satellites used in position determination .
Receiver memory free space in the percentages and battery charge level statuses. The icon with a question mark means 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 icon with a question mark means the corresponding information is unavailable. An exclamation mark on the battery means critically low charge level (from 0 to 10%).
