Survey Session
The wizard allows you to create a survey session, where the measured points will be recorded. Using one or several sessions you can calculate residuals for the corresponding points measured. Any type of the solution type (Fixed, Float, DGPS, etc) can be used in the computation.
There are two ways for opening the Survey Session dialog:
- Click Setup -> Survey Session;
- Click Setup -> Survey Session in the pop-up menu of the Topo dialog.
Note: This command is displayed in the pop-up menu, if the Prompt for Survey Session check box is selected in the Miscellaneous dialog of the Configuration Wizard.
You can do all calculations for the created session(s) in the Session Check dialog.
To open the Session Check dialog use one of the following ways:
- Click Calculate ->Session Check;
- Click Measure -> Check Calculation in the pop-up menu of the Topo dialog.
If the current job does not have a session with required data set, you cannot perform any computations in the Session Check dialog.
The used session is displayed in the following dialogs:
- in the Raw Data dialog (Edit ->Raw Data). The Session name column displays the names of the sessions for measured points.
- in a text field to display value on the Map view for the Topo and Auto Topo survey.
There are two ways for creating a new session:
- manually - you can create a new session in the Session Name field on the first page of the wizard;
- automatically - a new session is created automatically when the user changes one of the following parameters:
- surveyor name (could be changed in the Surveyor field on the first page of the wizard);
- temperature, pressure, humidity, weather or wind types (could be changed on the second page of the wizard);
- configuration type of the current job (could be changed in the Configuration dialog);
- format of the differential corrections data (could be changed in the RTK Format field of the Base Receiver or Rover receiver dialogs);
- opening a file for data logging in surveys with post processing (click
in the Topo or Auto Topo dialogs) or closing a file for data logging in surveys with post processing (click
in the Topo or Auto Topo dialogs);
- minimum number of the tracked satellites to start the logging of the *.tps file (could be changed in the Base PP Setup or Rover PP Setup dialogs).
- elevation mask value (could be changed in the Settings dialogs, which can be opened by clicking
in the Status dialog);
- PDOP mask value (could be changed in the Configuration -> RTK Settings dialog);
- any parameter in the Tracking dialog;
- replacement of Field Controller or GNSS receiver;
- replacement of radio modem.
Note: If you would like to record measured points to the same session, you should not change any of the above listed parameters while surveying. Otherwise, if you have changed some parameter during your survey, the next measured point will be recorded to a new session.
The Survey session wizard consists of three pages:
- RTK parameters. More...
- Meteorological parameters. More...
- The rover and base receivers parameters. More...
Survey Session: Survey parameters
The parameters for a Survey Session include:
Click Next to configure the Meteorological settings.
Survey Session: Meteorological parameters
The meteo settings in the current units for an Survey Session include:
- The air Temperature.
- The Pressure of air.
- The relative Humidity.
- The type of the Weather (Sunny; Cloudy; Rainy; Snowy).
- The type of the Wind (Calm; Gentle breeze; Moderate breeze; Fresh breeze; Moderate gale).
Click Next to configure the receivers' settings.
Survey Session: Receivers
The Rover receiver settings for a Survey Session include:
- The type of the Receiver used and it's serial number (s/n).
- The type of the Antenna used and it's serial number (s/n).
The Base receiver settings for a Survey Session include (if the Base receiver is used in the configuration):
- The Vendor of the base receiver.
- The type of the Receiver used and its serial number (s/n).
- The Antenna Serial Number.
Note that data in the fields is read-only and provides the information about the instruments selected for the survey.
