Tunnels

New hardware supported

Trimble SX10 scanning total station support

The Trimble SX10 scanning total station can now be used with Trimble Access Tunnels.

When connected to an SX10, you can use Tunnels to scan cross sections of the tunnel at defined station intervals, in the same way as you use an S Series total station. To perform full high-density scans or to capture panoramas with the SX10, you must use the Scanning and Panorama measurement methods in General Survey.

When setting out points in a tunnel using the SX10, change to the Video screen using the onscreen Switch to button, and then use the inner crosshair in the Video screen as a guide to mark the position on the tunnel surface. To return to the Set out screen, tap Switch to and select Set out. Alternatively, add the Video and Set out screens to your Favorites list.

Spectra Geospatial FOCUS 35 and FOCUS 30 total station support

The Tunnels software now supports the Spectra Geospatial FOCUS® 35 and FOCUS 30 total stations.

Resolved issues

  • Set out positions: The option to define set out positions by the Multiple radial method has been reinstated. This method was removed in Trimble Access version 2015.21.

  • Surface selection: An issue where you could not tap a surface to select it when using the Position in tunnel survey option is now resolved.
  • Cross section icon: An issue where the cross section button was not shown when you selected Auto scan and then changed the map to widescreen is now resolved.
  • Appearance of icons on a 10" tablet: The appearance of icons in the plan and cross section view on a 10" tablet is now improved. It is also now easier to select the items in the plan and cross section view.
  • Application errors: You should no longer see occasional application errors when you do any of the following:
    • Set out a position that does not have a surface assigned. This could happen if you defined set out positions before defining the tunnel template. Now setout positions without a surface are assigned the first surface defined in the template when the tunnel is stored.
    • Auto scan a scan zone that contains fewer than 6 points where the VX scanning option is selected and the Point code field is empty.
    • Auto scan a scan zone that does not contain any points.
