Survey Master Quick Guide



1 Introduction Survey Master 2016（SM 2016）is a professional Android-based surveying software developed by ComNav. With its User-friendly interface with smart menus, objects and graphics, you can collect field data through Topo survey/Auto survey, Static and PPK, also enter, edit and stake points/lines. Moreover, Survey Master provides a convenient way to import/export surveying data files.



1.1 Installation environments Download the latest version via: http://ignss.net:9105/ and Survey Master only can be worked in Android operating system. The android device should be better than the parameters list bellow: CPU: core 2.1GHz(currently support ARM cortexonly)  Android System version: ≥4.2 Screen: 4.5 inches Screen resolution: 960*640 Hardware: Bluetooth, Wi-Fi/GPRS Tips: Please keep Bluetooth on your phone opened, so that Survey Master and T300 receiver can connect successfully.



1.2 User Interface Survey Master has user-friendly interfaces, which provide you a convenient and effective surveying experience. There are three main interfaces listed bottom of the screen, each interface has the user manager on the top-left corner and the system option on the top-right corner, the project name in the middle. The figure is shown below:

Project: New Project: build a new project Project: manager projects youbuilt Datum: select and manage the datum Element:manage measured points. Import/Export Quick import:import point files (including ten data format) Quick export:export the current project to a file Ex. Stake Ps:export staked points to a file Ex. Stake Ls:export staked lines to afile.







Connection:connect one device(T300) as a base or rover throughBluetooth







Receiver:configure thereceiver Antenna:add antennaparameters Satellites:include the satellite information, the sky view, SNR(signal norse to ratio), and list of the satellites Device info:show the receiver’s information and register information Position info:show the current position information (X,Y,Z coordinate, rtk solution, RMS, DOP) Nav. To Base: show the information of rover and base. H-Terminal:used to configure the device by commands.

2 Receiver configuration This chapter describes how to build a new project, coordinate selection and receiver configuration.



2.1 Select the coordinate system Click to build a new project and select predefined (or add the user defined) coordinate system.



5



Survey Master Quick Guide



2.2 Set the receiver as a base After building/choose a new project with the proper coordinate, switch to the Device interface, click -> choose Base as the work mode -> click Connect button -> choose the serial number of the receiver to complete the connection. To configure the receiver, You can click the top-right button .The following figures show an example of Base configuration with internal radio transmission. Tips: If you are failed to connect the receiver through Survey Master, you’d better to restart the receiver or Survey Master software.

2.3 Set the receiver as a Rover Configure the device as a rover is similar as the base, select Rover as the work mode. For internal radio, you should enter the same frequency as the base. Then the current status on the bottom will change from Single to Fixed.



2.4 Information Display After getting fixed solution, click buttons in device info to check the information of satellites, devices, position coordinate and the distance from rover to base. All information is displayed below:

3 Collect field surveying data In the survey interface, you can collect surveying data through Topo/Auto, static and PPK survey mode.



3.1 Topo survey/Auto Survey



Click Topo Survey ->click the



-> enter point name



to start or stop collecting data.



Quickly change the measuring time by clicking the number below



.

The measured points will show on the screen, you also can modify settings in survey setting. Point coordinates and status will be shown below (swipe left on the screen to switch to satellites page).



Precision settings should be higher than RTK fixed precision Save fixed point:only fixed points can be saved into memory. the default offset warning is 0.05m, which will alarm if significant offset.

Survey Master Quick Guide



For Auto survey, it can support automatic and continuous survey, the survey setting is same as Topo survey.



3.2 Stake points/lines Click Stake point in survey interface -> click -> select library choose to add stake points -> long press the point to start to stake. You also can Enter or Import points for staking.



Survey Master 2016 provides a navigation map when staking points/lines. Click to change survey setting, stake setting or stake point library. If you are close the target point enough, it will alarm you based on the alarm range you set. Then click -> change stake point name -> click to completestaking. Tip: keep your receiver vertical to the ground.

For Staking lines, click Input -> add line (Two points or Point+Azimuth+Distance) -> click



-> long press line to stake. The following figures show the detailed steps:

3.3 Site calibration/Grid Reset 3.3.1 Site calibration Site calibration is commonly needed once in one project, and all the points will be collected according to calibrated datum system. 1. Click Element to enter at least three known points (K1,K2,K3) 2. After setting the base and rover successfully, move the rover to measure all the control points, A1, A2, A3 in the following example.



3. Click Site Calibration in Survey interface -> click measured points in pair (K1->A1, K2->A2,K3->A3) .



to add known points and

Click to add A1, A2, A3



4.



Click



to calculate, the software will calibrate automatically -> click



to



confirm to replace datum. the value of H.Resid and V.Resid should meet the requirement (H.Resid ≤ 0.015m, and V.Resid ≤ 0.02m)



3.3.2 Grid Reset Grid reset function is applied when you need to change the position of base station. Click Grid Shift in Survey interface -> add current base point and target base point (A1, K1 in the following example) -> Click Compute ->



to complete grid shift.

Click to add target base point



4 PPK and Static survey Survey Master provides multiple choice of survey methods for users, and the following sections provide a brief introduction of PPK and static survey.



4.1 static survey Static survey is commonly applied for control points, which requires millimeter accuracy.



Click Static in survey interface -> enter settings -> Click Start record , the recorded raw data will be saved in the corresponding path. The raw data is in .cnb format, you can transfer to RINXE format through CRUsoftware.
