Survey Basic

Survey Basic is available when you connect a controller to a Trimble instrument.

You can use it as follows:

  • If a job was created with a station setup, then Survey Basic can display raw data, and coordinates based on the station setup in the job.
  • If a current station setup does not exist, you can:
    • Make simple distance or angular checks.
    • Define the northing and easting coordinates for the instrument point in Survey Basic, set the horizontal circle and then display coordinates for points observed using Survey Basic.
    • Key in the elevation for the instrument point and then display the elevation for points observed using Survey Basic.
    • Observe to a point with a known reference elevation to compute the instrument elevation and then display the elevation for points observed using Survey Basic.

You cannot store measurements in Survey Basic.
