Sensors

A sensor in Trimble 4D Control designates a location and related information to measurements taken at the particular location. Typically a sensor may be a hardware device taking automated measurements, or a device where manual measurements are regularly taken.

A sensor can also designate only a beacon of which measurements are taken, such as a prism measured by a total station or a field collector collecting data with a portable device at the particular beacon. Trimble 4D Control uses the term observation for data measurement from a sensor.
