IPI sensors and charts
Trimble 4D Control offers native support for in-place inclinometers (IPI sensors) as a special sensor type.
To use the IPI sensor functionality, configure an IPI sensor in Trimble 4D Control Server and then add the sensor to the project as described in the In-place inclinometer arrays project configuration topic.
IPI sensors are associated with the In-Place Inclinometer data type. This data type contains components for Min deflection and Max deflection values in the A and B planes. IPI chains of an IPI sensor can also be visualized in detail using an IPI chart.
The example below shows the relation between the components available for the In-Place Inclinometer data type and the corresponding IPI chart plot. The components of the In-Place Inclinometer data type can be monitored with standard alarming functionality.
