Measure modes
The Measure mode controls several functions for the GNSS receiver and total station. There are multiple modes available, which you can switch between by tapping the Measure mode icon on the left side of the main map screen.
GNSS measure mode
|
GNSS measure mode |
Name |
Description |
|---|---|---|
|
|
Standing |
Walk to a point and then take a single measurement. |
|
|
Walking |
Walk the site and continuously take measurements. Points are measured based on a setting for horizontal distance and elevation change, at regular time intervals, or when the GNSS receiver is level. See Measure when level. |
|
|
Vehicle |
Drive the site in a vehicle. Points are stored based on a setting for horizontal distance and elevation or at regular time intervals. This feature contains an additional function to measure the antenna height by parking the vehicle over a known elevation point. |
|
|
Static |
Measure a point for a longer period and to achieve a greater accuracy through position averaging. |
|
|
EZ Level |
Graphically display elevations on a site relative to an arbitrary benchmark. See EZ Level measurement. |
|
|
Machine |
Use Siteworks on an excavator. This requires the Machine Guidance module and an additional hardware kit. |
Total Station measure mode
|
Total Station |
Name |
Description |
|---|---|---|
|
|
Standing |
Walk to a point and then take a single measurement. |
|
|
Walking |
Walk the site and take continuous measurements. Points are stored based on a setting for horizontal distance and elevation change or at regular time intervals, which can be set by tapping the Measure mode icon either in the status bar or in the Trimble icon menu. |
|
|
Vehicle |
Drive the site in a vehicle. Points are stored based on a setting for horizontal distance and elevation change or at regular time intervals, which can be set by tapping the Measure mode icon either in the status bar or in the Trimble icon menu. This feature contains an additional function to measure the antenna height by parking the vehicle at a known elevation point. Measurements are acquired at 3 Hz for all prisms except the MT1000 and MT900. The MT1000 can produce measurements at 10 Hz and the MT900 can operate at 20 Hz. |
|
|
Averaging |
Measure a point in multiple faces/rounds and display the standard deviation between measurements. |
|
|
DR |
Measure a point using a DR reflectorless total station. |
|
|
DR Target |
Measure a point using a DR reflectorless total station that adds a user-defined distance amount, up to 5 m, along the straight-line beam path from where the beam reflects off the surface. |
|
|
DR Scanning |
Operate the total station in a scanner mode by manually turning the total station and setting a distance interval to measure points over. This option is replaced with the SX scan option when connected to an SX12 scanning total station. |
|
|
DR Averaging |
Measure a point in DR mode using multiple faces/rounds and display the standard deviation between measurements. |
|
|
EZ Level |
Graphically display elevations on a site relative to an arbitrary benchmark. See EZ Level measurement. |
|
|
SX Scan |
Perform a point cloud laser scan when connected to an SX10 or SX12 instrument. This option requires the Advanced Measurement Module. |
The icon below the Measure mode icon on the left side of the main panel below the map control is the Measure type icon. This is used to select either point, existing line or new line. 
When in stakeout mode, this icon changes to enable you to select the stake method. The options in this tab are discussed in Slope staking 
.
