What is a GPS site calibration?

Calibration is the process of adjusting projected (grid) coordinates to fit the local control. A calibration calculates parameters for transforming WGS‑84 coordinates into local grid coordinates (NEE).

How do I calibrate my Trimble GPS?

To calibrate point coordinates

1. Enter the grid coordinates of your control points.
2. Place the calibration points around the perimeter of the site.
3. Measure the points with GNSS.
4. Perform an automatic or a manual calibration.

What is a Trimble CAL file?

Trimble CAL to Topcon GC3 data exchange A free Windows application which converts Trimble calibration (CAL) files containing local site or map projection data into a Topcon localization (GC3) file for use in Machine Control.

How do I set up survey control points?

1. Identify and mark a number of key fixed points that will serve as control (reference) for all subsequent surveying.
2. Establish the baseline, an accurately measured distance between 2 control points.
3. Station the tripod over a control point.
4. Mount the transit (theodolite) on the tripod.
5. Release the upper set screw.

What is GNSS calibration?

The main function of the GNSS calibration network is to determine the referential ITRF coordinates. Figure 4 presents the traceability chart and the ITRF coordinates are determined by GNSS positioning units.

How accurate is RTK GNSS?

RTK GPS Accuracy: What accuracy is RTK? RTK is used for applications that require higher accuracies, such as centimetre-level positioning, up to 1 cm + 1 ppm accuracy.

What is a JXL file Trimble?

Jobxml is an xml based format which allows for export of traverse or GPS data directly from the data collector to other programs. A jxl file can be exported from more recent versions of Trimble Survey Controller or Trimble Access. Copy the file with the extension .

What is a Trimble CFG file?

The Configuration Toolbox software enables you to create and edit GPS receiver configuration files. cfg) that contains all the receiver settings required for a particular job or application. Application files can be stored on both the receiver and computer.
