The ultimate integrated surveying setup is
the Trimble IS (integrated surveying) Rover.
The Trimble IS Rover includes a Trimble Receiver, such as
the Trimble R8 GNSS, placed on the rover pole of a robotic
total station, for example, the Trimble S6. The Trimble IS
Rover looks
like a typical GNSS Rover with the addition of a prism, and
the controller includes a modular
2.4-GHz radio and antenna for communicating with the total
station.
Customers who already own components of the Trimble IS Rover
can take advantage of this system immediately without purchasing
additional equipment. It is a unique patented Trimble system
that offers surveyors enormous advantages in the field including
increased flexibility, efficiency and time-savings. Surveyors
who use optical and GNSS technologies in the field do
not loose productivity while switching between systems. Both
system are ready to go at anytime and controlled by a simple
menu in the Trimble Survey Controller Field Software.
For example, when the total station line-of-sight is obstructed,
a surveyor employing Trimble IS Rover can quickly change to
GNSS to measure the needed points instead of establishing
a new instrument point and moving the total station. In addition,
measuring points with GNSS and optical technology provided
for efficient point checking. |
