Connect to GNSS or a conventional instrument

To start measuring you will need to connect to a GNSS receiver or a conventional instrument.

Because most Trimble Access Mobile Inspector users use a GNSS receiver connected to a VRS network for real-time GNSS corrections, the rest of this topic outlines those steps. For information on setting up conventional survey equipment, see Levés conventionnels.

To connect to a GNSS receiver:

  1. To configure the software to use a VRS network connection:

    1. Tap and select Paramètres/ Survey styles.

    2. Tap RTK and then tap Edit.

    3. Tap Rover data link.

    4. In the Type field select Internet connection.

    5. Tap next to the GNSS correction source field and then tap New and configure the connection to the VRS network using the IP address and other information provided by the VRS network administrator.

    6. Tap next to the GNSS internet source field and select how the controller will connect to the internet. Tap Config to configure internet connection settings.

    For more information, see Pour configurer une liaison de données internet mobile.

  2. Assemble and erect the equipment for the rover.

  3. Turn on the receiver and connect the controller to the receiver using Bluetooth or a USB serial cable.

    For more information, see Configuration du récepteur mobile GNSS.

  4. The status bar in the Trimble Access software updates to show the GNSS receiver is connected.

    If the Trimble Access software does not automatically connect to the receiver, see Options de connexion auto.
