Status bar

The status bar appears at the top of the screen when a job is open. It provides information about the equipment that is connected to the controller and access to commonly used functions.

Conventional survey status bar

GNSS survey status bar

Items that usually appear on the status bar are:

Item Name Description

Menu button

Tap to view the menu.

Application icon

Shows the current Trimble Access app.

If you have only one app installed, the status bar always shows the General Survey icon.

To change to a different app, tap the icon and then select the app to switch to.

In portrait mode, the app icon does not appear on the status bar. To change to a different app, tap and select the name of the current app (for example, General Survey) and then in the Choose application screen, tap the name of the app to switch to.
 

Date and time

Shows the current date and time.
 

Status line

The status line displays a message when an event or action occurs. Tap the status line to switch from one instrument to another during an integrated survey.

The status line appears at the far right of the status bar. In portrait mode it appears below the status bar.

The Battery status area on the status bar shows the status of the battery in the controller and devices connected to the controller. If the controller has more than one battery, the power level of each battery is shown.

To view the Battery status screen, tap the battery status area of the status bar.

During a conventional survey, values for the current horizontal angle or vertical angle and distance are shown in the status line.

The Instrument icon indicates the type of connected instrument. Symbols are added to the Instrument icon to indicate status.

Icon Indicates

The software is connected to a Trimble SX10 or SX12 scanning total station.

The instrument height is shown when a station setup is complete.
The SX10/SX12 is connected to the controller using Wi‑Fi. The Wi‑Fi signal strength is indicated below the Wi‑Fi icon.
The SX10/SX12 EDM is in standard (STD) mode. It averages the angles while a standard distance measurement is taken.
The SX10/SX12 EDM is in standard (STD) mode. The laser pointer is enabled (SX12 only).
The SX10/SX12 EDM is in standard (STD) mode. The instrument is locked onto the target (prism).
The SX10/SX12 EDM is in Tracking (TRK) mode. It constantly measures distances and updates in the status line.
The SX10/SX12 EDM is in Tracking (TRK) mode and DR mode is enabled.
The SX10/SX12 EDM is in Tracking (TRK) mode. DR mode is enabled. The laser pointer is enabled (SX12 only).

The white circle over the instrument indicates target illumination (TIL) is enabled.

The software is connected to a Trimble VX spatial station or Trimble S Series total station.

The instrument height is shown when a station setup is complete.
The software is connected to a Trimble C5 total station.
The software is connected to a Trimble M3 total station.
The software is connected to a Spectra Geospatial FOCUS 50 total station.
The software is connected to a Spectra Geospatial FOCUS 30 or 35 total station.
The instrument is locked onto the target (prism).
The instrument is locked and measuring to the target (prism).
The instrument is in Fast Standard (FSTD) mode. It averages the angles while a fast standard measurement is taken.
The instrument is in Standard (STD) mode. It averages the angles while a standard distance measurement is taken.
The instrument is in Tracking (TRK) mode. It constantly measures distances and updates in the status line.
The instrument is locked to the target (prism) and receiving an EDM signal back from the prism.
The laser pointer is on (DR mode only).
The high power laser pointer is on.
Radio signals from the robotic instrument are no longer being received.
The compensator is disabled.
Auto‑connect is disabled. Tap the icon once to restart auto‑connect. Tap the icon again to configure Auto‑connect settings.

To change the target or target settings, tap the Target status icon in the status bar. See Target height.

Icon Indicates
The prism is locked.
"1" indicates that target 1 is in use.
The prism constant (in millimeters) and target height are shown to the right of the icon.
When measuring a point with a dual-prism offset, two prism constants are shown.
The instrument is in Direct Reflex mode.
The rotating target icon with a pulsing red halo indicates that the instrument has Autolock enabled but is not currently locked onto a target.
FineLock is enabled.
Long Range FineLock is enabled.
GPS Search is enabled.
Interrupted Target Measurement is enabled.

During a GNSS survey, precision information for the current position is shown in the status line.

The number below the satellite icon indicates the number of satellites in the solution if you have started a survey, or the number of satellites being tracked if you have not yet started a survey. To view the Satellites screen, tap .

If [A] or [B] appears next to the number of satellites in an RTK survey, then an independent subset of satellites is being used. See To use independent subsets of satellites tracked in RTK surveys.
