Integrated surveys

In an integrated survey, the controller is connected to both a conventional survey instrument and a GNSS receiver at the same time. The Trimble Access software can quickly switch between the two instruments, within the same job.

To use an integrated survey, you must configure the conventional and RTK survey styles you will use, and then configure an integrated survey style which references the conventional survey style and the RTK survey style. The default integrated survey style is called IS Rover.

If you are using IMU tilt compensation for the RTK part of the integrated survey, the tilt compensation is not applied to the conventional observations. Be sure to level the pole when the Precise elevation option is enabled when surveying a road using the Roads software, and when using conventional total station measurements.
