6. Trimble Tablet

9. Trimble Tablet Key hardware features  GPS + Camera + Larger screen enable exciting new features for the Tablet platform

10. Cameras  Photographs are often more useful than sketches or written descriptions  Images convey information about site conditions more accurately and quickly than any sketch; they also may provide better documentation for future use  Images are attached to points in Trimble Access using feature code libraries with codes setup with photo attributes –After taking the image, the file is automatically associated with the point  When Trimble Business Center Software processes Trimble Access job files, either directly from the data collector or remotely from the Trimble Connected Community the images are automatically downloaded from the data collector and stored in the project folder –The user can navigate the project and view the images alongside the survey data –Or send the project to Google Earth where survey data and images are displayed in tandem

11. Tablet cameras  Forward facing - 2 MP  User facing - 1.3 MP –live video conferencing and record crew-dictated notes  Integrated cameras –can’t get forgotten –you don’t have to worry about batteries –don’t have file download issues –all the data is in one place on the controller –data can be transferred to TCC using AccessSync, and easily shared with colleagues and customers in real-time

12. Tablet camera

13. Geotagged Images  Geotagging is the process of adding geographical identification metadata to various media such as photographs  Metadata includes WGS-84 latitude, longitude and height, which is written to the EXIF header of the image (EXIF = EXchangeable Image File format)  The integrated GPS automatically geotags the images – with the position of the controller –You can override this with the position of the point the image is associated with –Note: for General Survey to geotag images, it must be able to compute the WGS-84 positions

14. Linking images to points  Must use a feature code library –Must use either Photo or File attributes –Use TBC’s Feature Definition editor to create the library  On the controller, when a file or photo attribute exists, the camera softkey is available  On a Tablet, photos must be saved to: C:\Users\ \My Pictures

28. Integrated GPS What are the benefits of integrated GPS 1.GPS Search for Robotic surveys

29. GPS Search for Robotic surveys  When using GPS Search, a search for the prism first turns to the GPS Search position –With a good GNSS position, and when snap is enabled, the instrument should snap to the prism immediately. –If the instrument does not snap immediately, it performs a search before locking to the prism.  GPS Search makes regaining lock to the target, fast and seamless  ‘On the fly resections’ are used to determine the relationship between GPS and the Robotic positions, when the job does not already have a projection and datum defining this relationship –If you have a projection and datum, the on-the-fly resection is not required - it just works, regardless of the GPS solution being used  In previous versions of the software on-the-fly resections were required when using low grade GPS receivers

30. GPS Search for Robotic surveys  Integrated GPS means –You no longer need to purchase external GPS, ie Garmin –It is more ergonomic - no need to manage batteries and connections –It just works – no configuration, no BT scans etc

31. Integrated GPS What are the benefits of integrated GPS 1.GPS Search for Robotic surveys 2.Navigate to point for GNSS and Robotic surveys

32. Integrated GPS  Navigate to point for GNSS and Robotic surveys –Use integrated GPS for navigation without having to get the real GNSS gear out of the truck –Navigation still possible even when you loose lock to the robotic instrument –Navigate to point now available in more places; Station setup, Station setup plus, Resection, and the Instrument menu – even without a connection to a GNSS receiver –Note - you can also use external GPS, ie Garmin for Navigate to point

33. New functionality on the Tablet  Surfaces and Volumes

34. Create surface, Compute volume  When 3 or more 3D points are selected in the map, Create surface and Compute volume are available from the tap ‘n hold menu  Create surface requires a surface name to be entered and then automatically creates a Triangulated Terrain Model file (*.ttm) file from the selected points, linking the surface automatically to the current job as an Active map file.  Tap Options to control the display options:

35. Create surface, Compute volume  Compute volume creates a surface in the same way as Create surface, but offers additional volume computations  Compute volume is also available from the Cogo menu  Compute volume supports 5 volume calculations

36. Compute volume  Above an elevation –Calculates the volume of a single surface above the specified elevation. Only the cut volume is computed.  Void volume –Calculates the volume of material needed to fill a surface up to a specified elevation.  Surface to elevation –Calculates the cut and fill volumes between a single surface and a specified elevation.  Combination of Above an elevation and Void volume  Surface to surface –Calculates the cut and fill volumes between two surfaces. The Base surface, is the original surface and Major surface is the design surface or surface after excavation. –Where the Base surface is above the Major surface cut will be computed; where the Major surface is above the Base surface, fill will be computed.

37. Compute volume  Stockpile/depression –This works in a similar way to Surface to surface except with only one surface. The selected surface is treated as the major surface and the base surface is defined from the perimeter points of the selected surface. –Where the surface is above the perimeter surface, cut will be computed (stockpile); where the surface falls below the perimeter surface, fill will be computed (depression). Volume terminology:  Haul Bulkage –A haul bulkage factor (%) allows for the expansion of cut material as it is excavated. The Adjusted cut volume is the cut volume with the haul bulkage factor applied to it.  Shrinkage –A shrinkage factor (%) allows for compaction in fill material. The Adjusted fill volume is the fill volume with the shrinkage factor applied to it.

48. CAD on the Trimble Tablet  Automatic CAD linework creation, and graphical Add and Delete of CAD linework is available in the Map on the Trimble Tablet  The CAD linework uses the Trimble feature code processing system to create the linework, automatically coding points enabling the same linework processing in the Trimble office software.

49. CAD in the Map  Enable the CAD toolbar from the tap n hold menu  Measure mode = On  Measure a point feature  Measure a line feature  Start a new line or arc sequence  Start an Arc. End an arc  Close last measured line/arc sequence  Set a feature code  Set the next point number

50. CAD in the Map  Enable the CAD toolbar from the tap n hold menu  Manual draw mode  Draw a line feature  Draw an arc feature  Start a new line or arc sequence  Start second arc of a back-to-back arc  Delete a line or arc  Set a feature code  Set the next point number

51. CAD in the Map  CAD requires the use of a Feature code library (.fxl) with Line codes and Control codes  What do Line codes do? –Feature codes with their feature type set to Line can be joined with lines in the map. –For example, if you survey the center line of a road and assign the code CL to each point, and if you have the Display coded features option selected, all points to which the code CL has been assigned are joined with a line.

52. CAD in the Map  How do Control codes work? –Line codes allow simple joining of consecutively measured points. –However, you will need extra line joining control to start new line sequences, close figures, and join specific points. To achieve this extra control, you use Control codes. –A Control code follows the Line code it applies to and is separated from the Line code by a space character.  The CAD toolbar automatically assigns the appropriate control codes to the points

53.  When coding manually, the following codes are supported, but when using the CAD toolbar, you don’t need to know about these CAD in the Map

54.  Line and Control codes are scaring me… … I’ll never understand how to use them.  Simple toolbar icons do all the work for you, it’s actually quite easy.  Behind the scenes the Line and Control codes are being added automatically for you.  When the inner workings are explained this appears to be rather complicated, but don’t be frightened, you do need a basic understanding of how the coding works, but it is very easy to use.

55. DXF Export  New DXF export option: (Tablet only) –If a point has features and attributes assigned to it then all the attributes will be added as attributes of the inserted point in the DXF file –Layers and Line color  When a feature code library (*.fxl) created by TBC’s Feature Definition Manager is used, the fxl defined layers and colors are used in the DXF  Where an exact color cannot be matched it finds the next closest match  When a feature code library is created on the controller it uses the line color specified in Trimble Access  If a layer has not been defined, feature coded lines are assigned to the Lines layer, points to the Points layer. Database lines always go to the Lines layer  Only Solid and Dashed line types are currently supported

56. CAD in the Map

57. 2.4 GHz USB radio  2.4 GHz USB radio for robotic surveys with the Trimble Tablet  To install the radio drivers –Connect the Tablet to the Internet and then connect the radio to the Tablet using the USB cable supplied  Drivers are then automatically installed –Or, double click on the desktop shortcut called:  USBRadioDriver.exe Trimble Access on the Tablet is by default configured to use the USB radio

58. Internal modem  An ExpressCard can be purchased and fitted to the Tablet for cellular modem connections –Internet setup on the Tablet uses the Microsoft Windows UI for configuration – using GNSS Contacts can be easier

59. Trimble Tablet  Does not support Monitoring at this time

60. Trimble Tablet connections to office  The Trimble Tablet is a Windows PC, it cannot use Microsoft® ActiveSync® or Windows Mobile® Device Center to connect to the office PC  File transfer options –Trimble Connected Community and AccessSync –TabletSync - TabletSync is a new utility which can be installed on a Trimble tablet computer using TAIM, and allows you to easily transfer and synchronize data files between the Tablet and a host computer using a local area network (wired or wireless) –Add the Tablet to a network –USB memory stick  Trimble Access Installation Manager is installed directly on the Trimble Tablet

61. Additional Trimble Access Improvements

62. Map Enhancements  The display of coded features is now controlled from Map / Filter with the CAD linework setting. Display coded features has been removed from Map / Options  Surfaces (Triangulated DTM's ) in a LandXML file can now be displayed in the map. Multiple surfaces within a LandXML files are managed as layers when you select the file.  Surfaces can now be displayed as triangles as well as the color gradient.  DTM display options in the Map have been moved and renamed. Now available from Map / Options, DTM settings are now called Surface settings and allow configuration for the display of the colour gradient, display of the triangles, and configuration of a vertical offset. Previously the option was called DTM and selected from Map / Layers / Options.

63. Map Enhancements  New tap ‘n hold selection tool in the map  Select from: –Current job –Current job and linked files –Scan files (Tablet only)

64. Data Output  GDM Data Output has been renamed to Data Output  Data output now supports Pseudo NMEA GGA –Use Pseudo NMEA GGA data output to stream north, east, and elevation values (rather than the standard latitude, longitude, and altitude values) from a robotic controller connection to a Trimble VX Spatial Station or Trimble S Series total station, or directly from the COM port of the Trimble VX Spatial Station or Trimble S Series total station –Trimble Access Pseudo NMEA format is very similar to the one Leica outputs

65. Known issues: Resolved  Alignments defined from a DXF file: A problem where creating an alignment from a selected line resulted in multiple alignments has been fixed.  All linework feature coded white is now drawn black in the map. Previously it was drawn white and could not be seen due to the white background.  DXF display in the map: A problem where magenta colored linework was not being displayed in the map has been fixed.  DXF display in the map: A problem where an incorrect color was being displayed in the map when an rxl file was linked to the job has been fixed.  Three point resection: A problem where on a 3 point, 2 face, angles only resection the instrument will find the 3rd target on face 2 but fails to find the target on the remaining two return pointings has been fixed.  Compensator calibration for the Trimble 3600 instrument has now been added.  Connecting to a 5600: A problem where you were unable to connect to a Trimble 5600 instrument after connecting to a Trimble S Series or Trimble VX DR+ instrument has been fixed.

66. Known issues: Resolved  Long Range no longer leaves the VX & S Series instruments in an unusual Autolock state when using active targets.  Incorrect Status bar display: An problem where an incorrect status bar was sometimes displayed in the background has been fixed.  Feature codes are now sorted correctly when the codes consists of numbers.  User names can no longer include a space or the following characters: / | \  Multiple 'Shut down required' messages no longer appear after multiple logins. Previously the message appeared once for each login created.  Improved readability of text when defining an Internet setup in the Russian language.  Linked files not saved in template: A problem where a new template imported from an existing job was not saving any linked files has been fixed. Previously you got the message "Failed to open csv file" when editing the new template.  Linked files: It is no longer possible to link two files with same name from two different folders. New jobs created from a template with this setup caused issues.

67. Known issues: Resolved  Autolock no longer turns on when it shouldn't. Previously, if doing a resection without autolock to a backsight point, when face 2 is measured to that same backsight point autolock was incorrectly turned on.  GPS Search no longer fails to start properly in an Integrated Survey. Previously the status bar message stated: "Enabling GPS Search", but in fact GPS Search was not working.  Integrated Survey Styles are no longer invalid after upgrading from Trimble Access version 1.4.0. Previously an error message "Invalid Survey Style selection" was displayed on starting an Integrated Survey.  Prism constants in Measure rounds are no longer corrupted if you are using multiple targets and edit the target height of the backsight point.  Resection: You can no longer skip a backsight measurement if the Scale factor type is set to free.  A target height is now required when performing an Integrated Survey. Previously it could be left as null.  If you are in GNSS functions and are connected to the base receiver and then switch the radio type to HPB 450 and try to connect, you will no longer get an error stating the receiver is busy.

68. Resolved Application Errors  Select job properties for the last used job or create a new job where the last used job had two linked dxf files and one had just been deleted.  Selecting the Denmark projection type when selecting a coordinate system.  Switching from GPS to Conventional and attempting to autoconnect.  Measuring a point that exists in a linked job.  Close General Survey with either the Cogo / Arc solution or Cogo / Triangle solution option open and selecting Close all in an attempt to close the Cogo option.  Open the Map too quickly after opening a new job when a survey had been running in the previously open job.  Key in a value into a northing or easting field in Job / Review. Previously after turning Descriptions off the northing and easting fields became editable and entering a value in these fields generated an application error. These fields now remain non editable after turning Descriptions off. Tip - Install the Trimble Solution Improvement Program when upgrading your controller. Trimble has identified and resolved several of these issues after receiving log files from customers.

69. Trimble Access Roads  NSW cubic parabola is now a supported spiral type. This special spiral type is used for railway designs in New South Wales, Australia.  Korean cubic parabola is now a supported spiral type. This special spiral type is used for railway designs in Korea.  Cubic spiral has been renamed to Korean Cubic parabola to differentiate is from the NSW cubic parabola.  Known issues: Resolved –GENIO roads: The station tolerance has been reduced from 5mm to 2mm to ensure stations of significance are included in the road. Previously, if two stations were less than 5mm apart one was excluded. If the difference in elevation was significant between the two stations the resultant road did not accurately represent the design. –LandXML files with infinite spiral radius values defined as zero or -inf are now correctly converted to a Trimble road. Previously the resultant road had corrupted values defining the horizontal alignment elements. –GENIO roads: When points on a 3D strings have no coincident station value on the 6D string (not typical) their position is no longer incorrectly interpolated.

70. Trimble Access Tunnels  Station equations are now supported.  Norwegian interpolation method is now supported. This method maintains the radii of the first and last arcs (referred to as wall arcs) as well as the radii of the second and fourth 'transition' arcs when present, and computes a new radius for the central (or roof) arc. It uses interpolation of the arc angles rather than the radii values.  This method is automatically used if the templates applied at the previous and next stations fulfil the following requirements: –Each template consists of 3 or 5 arcs in sequence joined tangentially –Templates must be symmetrical –There is no 'tilt' to the defined section (template)  If the above requirements are not met the current linear interpolation method is used.  The same interpolation changes have also been made in the 'Tunnel profiles DXF file.xsl' and 'Tunnel profiles Word report.xsl' style sheets.  Known issues: Resolved –Spiral type is now being respected when defining a tunnel. A tunnel defined by Length/coordinates or End station can only use the Clothoid spiral type. However if a previous tunnel had been defined by PI using the Cubic spiral the new tunnel used this spiral type rather than the Clothoid spiral type. –Applying templates perpendicular to the vertical alignment now works correctly when surveying by Position in tunnel. Previously, despite applying templates perpendicular, the templates were always applied vertical.

71. Trimble Access Monitoring  Measure backsight: You can now exit the Measure Backsight form without having to enter an azimuth value.  Autolock is now activated when you switch from Manual mode with the Laser on to Autolock.

72. Trimble Access Mines  The Laser line report now correctly orders the start and end point names defining each laser line. Previously they were not in the order measured.

73. Trimble CU Model 3 3 rd Generation Trimble CU2 nd Gen  Windows CE 6.0CE.Net 5.0  Memory: 128 MB SDRAM64 MB  Processor: 624 MHz400 MHz Noticeably faster, with a clean crisp display Note that there is no new Survey Controller release at this time, and Survey Controller is currently available only on the current Trimble CU (Model 2), not the new 3 rd generation
