1 TRIMBLE SURVEY MANAGER SOFTWARE technical notes The Trimble survey manager software is a powerful Field and office software for the collection, processing, and visualization of data collected during precise real-time kinematic surveys. The integration of survey data from various sources has never been so easy. you can use the Trimble survey manager Field, Tablet, configurator, or Trimble survey office software to process survey data from a variety of instruments in an easy to use, flexible surveying system that helps you to increase efficiency and productivity. a survey solution FoR FiEld and office The Trimble Survey Manager Field, Tablet, Configurator, and Office software were specifically developed as field and office software programs for collecting, processing and visualizing precise real-time kinematic (RTK) data. Due to their versatility, the Trimble Survey Manager Field, Tablet, Configurator, and Office software have become a standard in cadastral surveying, engineering and GIS data collection. A universal interface driver enables you to connect to a variety of instruments from Trimble Integrated Surveying (GNSS and optical instruments) to Spatial Imaging equipment. Trimble Survey Manager Office software is a standalone program for postprocessing GNSS and optical data collected in the field. Use it to easily solve complex tasks and to present them in a clear format. The Trimble Survey Manager Field and Trimble Survey Manager Tablet software provide the same ease of use as the Trimble Survey Manager Office software and are optimized for in-field use. The user interface for GNSS and optical instruments is reliable and easy to use. The Trimble Survey Manager Field and Trimble Survey Manager Tablet software are available for two different operating systems. The Trimble Survey Manager Field software is designed for efficient data collection and runs on rugged Trimble controllers with Microsoft Windows Mobile and Windows CE.NET operating systems. The Trimble Survey Manager Tablet software runs on Tablet PCs with Microsoft Windows. Using its processing power and the enhanced graphic capabilities, it can also be used for survey Quality Assurance and Control analysis and GIS data collection. The Trimble Survey Manager Field and Trimble Survey Manager Tablet software allow you to use the platform that is best suited for your applications. Trimble Survey Manager Configurator software is a dedicated version of the Trimble Survey Manager Tablet software for the configuration of GNSS equipment. Users can configure the NMEA and PPS outputs for GNSS equipment to enable the automatic external processing of GNSS data. In addition, The Trimble Survey Manager Configurator software allows dial-up connections to RTK reference station networks, such as the Trimble VRS Now service.

SPATIAL IMAGING REAL-TIME 3D SCANNING AND VIDEO You can use Trimble Survey Manager Field and Trimble Survey Manager Tablet software with Trimble Spatial Imaging solutions, such as the Trimble VX Spatial Station, to identify and capture relevant data by simply clicking on the controller s real-time video screen. The corresponding image and position data make them an ideal complement for GIS data collection. 2

3 TRIMBLE SURVEY MANAGER SOFTWARE technical notes TRimblE integrated surveying seamless interaction of Gnss and optical data The Trimble Survey Manager Field and Trimble Survey Manager Tablet software guarantee a seamless interaction of GNSS and optical data. You can simultaneously use and control GNSS equipment and optical total stations, which means that you do not have to change controllers or work with several interfaces. The control point routine is optimized and allows for easy and efficient control point registration. Users can switch between the collection of GNSS and optical data at any time. Data can also be seamlessly transferred directly to the Trimble Survey Manager Office software or to other Trimble Office software for processing. The Trimble Survey Manager Field and Tablet software are an important part of Trimble Integrated Surveying technology. You can use the Trimble Survey Manager software on the platform that best suits your surveying needs. This includes Tablet PCs, Notebooks, as well as the Trimble controllers, for example the Trimble CU controller and the popular Trimble TSC2 controller. 3

4 TRimblE survey manager office software The Trimble Survey Manager Office software processes data using industry standards and user-defined formats. Projects that were saved in the Trimble Survey Manager Field or Tablet software can be seamlessly transferred to the Trimble Survey Manager Office software. Users can select the required processing method and create custom reports. Default report templates that meet a variety of official and governmental standards are also available. applications The Trimble Survey Manager Field, Tablet, Configurator, and Office software are ideal for a wide range of survey tasks: Observation of point, lines and areas for: Cadastral surveys Real estate surveys Topographic surveys Utility surveys GIS data collection Analysis of duplicate points and multiple point observations Documentation of field surveys Written documentation of coordinate calculations for official use (cadastral field sheets) Concise as-built surveys Device configuration Recording and viewing of tide gauge observations Creating Reports with Trimble Survey Manager Office TRimblE survey manager FiEld and TablET software The Trimble Survey Manager Field software runs on rugged Trimble controllers, for example the Trimble CU or the TSC2 controller. The Trimble Survey Manager Tablet software runs on tablet PCs or notebooks with Microsoft Windows 2000 or XP. The Trimble Survey Manager Tablet software has extended GIS data collection and GIS data modeling capabilities. supported import and EXpoRT FoRmaTs The following file formats are supported: ASI-Format (Thuringia, Germany) BGRUND-Fortführung (Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany) DAVID KSR format (GBAFlurb, Germany) EDBS format (points only) Geograf format (*.pkt, *.out, Germany) Kartenart 00 (Lower Saxony, Germany) Kafka format Calculation result lists (Berechnungsheft) Total station observation logs (North-Rhine Westphalia, Lower Saxony and other German federal states) GNSS observation logs (North-Rhine Westphalia, Lower Saxony, Baden- Wurttemberg and other German federal states) GNSS and SAPOS observation protocols CSV files for use in spread sheets ESRI SHAPE files (geometry) DXF files (geometry) Custom import and export formats 4

5 TRIMBLE SURVEY MANAGER SOFTWARE technical notes Users can create and load GIS data models and import or export different models or GIS data from GE Smallworld (Map500 open file format) and ESRI Shape files. In addition, you can easily collect GIS data in the field using GNSS and optical total stations and import them into your Geographic Information Systems (GIS). powerful and unique cadastral surveying FEaTuREs The Trimble Survey Manager Field and Trimble Survey Manager Tablet software enable you to use an optimized workflow for cadastral surveys with GNSS and optical technologies. GNSS vectors and station setups can easily be transformed into customized or official standard coordinates. A minimum of one backsight is required to perform a transformation. The transformation parameters can be defined, calculated or copied from previous measurements. All calculations and results are output according to cadastral requirements. Height Adjustments Height adjustments for GNSS observations are either performed locally, using a geoid model, or both. The Trimble Survey Manager Field, Tablet, Configurator and Office software support both bilinear grid interpolation and Digital Finite Element Height Reference Surfaces (DFHBF). Vertical control points observed with GNSS systems or total stations can also be adjusted vertically, horizontally, or both. Storing Multiple Point Observations When performing multiple observations to the same point, the software displays the deltas from the average or design values for individual observations. Averages can be calculated for individual station setups or for a complete set of observations. In addition, individual repetition shots can be enabled or disabled to optimize results. Repetition shots with corresponding variations and averages GPS Calibration with the Trimble Survey Manager Tablet software Observations that exceed the defined tolerance are marked, allowing you to identify, verify or discard the corresponding observations while still in the field. 45
