To start a postprocessed rover survey
- Set up and connect the GNSS receiver.
- In Trimble Access, make sure the required job is open.
-
To start the survey, tap
and select Measure. If there is more than one survey style configured, select a survey style from the list. Select the software function to use, for example Measure points.
When you select a survey style for the first time, the software prompts you to customize the style for your specific hardware.
- If a message warns that an option in the receiver is not available, then your receiver options subscription may have expired. To check the expiry date, tap
and select Instrument / Receiver settings and check the values shown in the Trimble GNSS subscriptions group.
- If you have selected any "Prompt for" settings in the RTK survey style, you are prompted to confirm the correction source. Tap Accept.
-
Use the status bar to confirm the software is connected and receiving correction data.
In a FastStatic survey you can begin surveying immediately.
To achieve centimeter‑level precisions from a PP kinematic survey when the data is processed, the survey must initialize. With dual‑frequency receivers, the initialization process begins automatically if at least five L1/L2 satellites are being observed. See PP initialization times.
In a postprocessed survey, only rely on the On the fly (automatic) initialization if you are certain that the receiver will observe at least 5 satellites without interruption for the next 15 minutes, or 6 satellites without interruption for the next 8 minutes. Otherwise, initialize on a known point.
If you do not require centimeter‑level results and want to start surveying immediately, select Measure / PPK initialization. Tap Init and set the Method field to No initialization.

You cannot stake out points during a postprocessed survey.
