Carlson SurvCE is a complete data collection system for Real Time (RTK) GPS and Total Stations with in-field coordinate geometry. It supports the widest range of popular and new release RTK GPS and conventional/ robotic total stations.
Major New Features and Improvements: SurvCE 6.0
- SurvCE now offers the Hybrid+ Survey module to survey with both GPS and Total Station at the same time. Visit www.survce.com/hybrid for more details.
- Log Raw GPS has been redesigned to allow static logging without configuring an RTK Rover or Base. The process has been streamlined for ease of use.
- SurvCE now offers an advanced total station search icon to allow selection of search type from inside of any live survey screen.
- GNSS Analysis has been updated to the 2017 version.
- SurvCE now supports a laser pointer icon in all live survey screens for any total station with a laser pointer.
- SurvCE now supports web map overlays from Google, Open Street Maps and ArcGIS REST. SurvPC additionally supports user-defined Web Map Servers (WMS/WMTS/TMS).
- SurvCE can now read and export PRJ projection files.
- SurvCE now includes Snap options inside of store points to facilitate drawing in the field as part of the survey process. An UNDO option has also been included.
- Total station control icons Search, Lock/Track, Target, and Laser Pointer will now be available in more screens.
- A new status icon will now show the status of the instrument connection from all screens.
- SurvCE now includes a “GIS Inspector” feature in the Map screen that allows viewing and editing GIS attributes as linework is created and edited.
- SurvCE now supports obstructed view stakeout mode.
- SurvCE now includes a “Surface Inspector” for elevation difference which allows storing and staking points from the surface as well as viewing cut/fill to the surface using Snaps.
- SurvCE now displays a red tolerance bar to indicate that a measurement is currently outside of a user defined tolerance.
- SurvCE now supports an automatic backsight check in the joystick screen.
- Auto by Interval when level now stores the most level reading which was recorded during the required level tolerance period.
- SurvCE now supports continuous reflectorless measurement for total stations which support the feature.
- SurvCE now offers the ability to demo the roading module on an already registered copy of the software.
- SurvCE now supports a two-prism pole in the 2-Point offset routine.
Just a few of the powerful features to help you get your job done faster and better:
- Advanced Roading: favored by U.S. DOTs and heavy highway contractors around the world
- Cutting-edge functionality for staking intersections and cul-de-sacs using Carlson Road Network files
- Optional Field-to-Finish: Create drawings intuitively and automatically as you work, saving you time back in the office
- Highly graphical and intuitive user interface is designed ‘by surveyors for surveyors’
- Strong GIS features for accurate data capture, including attribute data and seamless linking to Esri®
- Easy data exchange due to rich support of CAD file formats and .dwg, .dgn, .shp
- More field capabilities with quick and easy volume calculation and ability to generate points from polylines
- Cut/Fill stakeout using surface files
- Camera integration allowing assignment of picture to points or lines
- Export directly in KML format for fast control in Google Earth
- True versatility: SurvCE run on hundreds of GPS and total station models in service today, including Altus, Ashtech, Carlson, Geomax, Leica, Pentax, Sokkia, Spectra-Precision, Stonex, Topcon, and more. See full list at www.survce.com.
- SurvCE are available in more than two dozen languages: English, Spanish, German, French, French (Canadian), Russian, Portuguese, Czech, Dutch, Chinese, Korean, Greek, Italian, Polish, Hungarian, Swedish, Latvian and more.
SurvCE 6.0 deliver on accuracy and efficiency:
- Enhanced Search icon now available in all live survey screens with access to multiple search methods for TS/RTS
- Voice prompting In Stakeout allows users to keep their eyes on the environment while staking
- Google, Open Street Maps, Esri® Maps, and your own WMS overlays now available in the field
- GIS Inspector allows instant access to GIS attributing in the map screen
- Surface Inspector enables easy comparison of plan vs. asbuilt in elevation difference, making it simpler to store and stake the points that matter
- Obstructed Point Stakeout allows guided staking of unreachable points by marking azimuth and distance
- Automatic Backsight Check in the joystick screen makes it easier to check your setup at any time
- GPS Tolerance Band instantly indicates when a tolerance is exceeded in live survey screens
All-new Hybrid+ module combines the power of RTS and GNSS providing the most reliable and fast survey techniques on the market:
- Mix and match any RTS and GNSS from Carlson’s vast driver library
- GPS Search is faster than any search method available
- Follow Me keeps the total station pointed where you need it by continuously tracking the GNSS location
- Smart Lock detects when you are slowing down to take a measurement and automatically locks on the prism—ready when you are
- Smart Staking provides directions from the GNSS when the total station position isn’t available, then automatically locks back on the prism when you reach your destination
- Backup Tracking — GPS position is automatically shown when total station is not tracking
- GNSS Sensors work with the total station to allow e-level in total station mode and automatic correction of tilted poles
