The program was able to accommodate setting an azimuth and storing the backsight point or using two known points.Īfter my backsight was finished, I was presented with the map screen, which is where most of the work is accomplished (see Figure 2). Once I had my instrument set on a known point, the software prompted me to take a backsight.
If you use a third-party radio, I would be sure to test the software before purchasing it. MicroSurvey said that the software has been tested and confirmed to work with Topcon products using Topcon radio systems. Setting the communication timeout to a higher setting seemed to help, but the problem was never completely resolved. I was using a third-party radio system that had never been tested with FieldGenius, and I had some trouble maintaining a consistent connection with my Topcon GPT 9003 robot. The supported GPS equipment included Leica Novatel, Sokkia, Topcon, Trimble and other NMEA-capable GPS units, and RTN support was available for Leica, Altus, Magellan, Sokkia and Javad. For example, the list of supported total station equipment included Geodimeter, Laser Technologies, Leica, Nikon, Pentax, Sokkia, South, Topcon, Trimble and Zeiss. Much of this data only needed to be entered once for the project.įrom there, I was taken to an instrument selection screen that listed virtually every make and model of equipment. I was then prompted to set a coordinate system or bypass this option by selecting. I pressed and proceeded to the setup screen where I was prompted to enter units and format information. Selecting allowed me to enter crew members, instruments and serial numbers, temperature, pressure, and other information. I was then prompted to select an Automap template file or feature list file, name a raw file, or use the default job name. After starting the FieldGenius application, I was given the option to an existing job or choose to type in a new project name (see Figure 1).
Beginning a job in FieldGenius was straightforward and simple.
