Trimble Online Processing App
collapse icon

Overview: The Trimble Online Processing App allows users to upload their field observation data to the web-based service in order to receive postprocessed positions.

Features:

  • Automated online processing and delivery of field data
  • Supports various processing approaches
  • Utilizes all systematic error sources (e.g. Ionosphere, Troposphere, Multipath) and applies the corresponding estimated residuals to the postprocessing result
  • Scalable architecture to accommodate operations ranging in size from a single base station to multi-station real-time networks (RTN)

Postprocessing Method: While real-time solutions are often the preferred method to achieve accurate field positions, there are many applications where postprocessing is required. Especially when high accuracy is required or when working in areas with limited or no availability of real-time corrections, postprocessing is usually the surveying method of choice. Even where not required, the option now exists to provide full data coverage in the event a real-time solution is not fully operable.

Overview: The Trimble Integrity Manager App is a comprehensive application designed specifically to monitor GNSS reference station dynamics through a range of diagnostic tools and alerting options:

  • Total network monitoring
  • Customized alarms
  • Real-time and post-processed motion detection
  • Customized accuracy levels for movement detection
  • Regular movement status checks

Processing Engines: The Trimble Integrity Manager App provides a complete suite of monitoring and analysis engines to assess the dynamics of a network:

  • NMEA Engine
  • Server-Based RTK Engine
  • Network Motion Engine
  • Rapid Motion Engine
  • Postprocessing Engine

The combination of motion engines and alarming selections depends on factors such as length of baselines and required time to alarm. Using a custom-configured combination of these engines, the Trimble Integrity Manager App delivers the real-time and postprocessed data to meet a range of needs and requirements.

Trimble Pivot RTX & RTX-PP Apps
collapse icon

Highlights: Within the Infrastructure Pivot Apps portfolio, two key apps offer the advantages of absolute positioning techniques using Trimble RTX technology to provide users with centimeter-level position accuracy.

  1. Trimble Pivot RTX App
  2. Trimble Pivot RTX-PP App

Pivot RTX App: The Trimble Pivot RTX App is designed to perform absolute position estimation and coordinate integrity monitoring in real-time mode using the Trimble RTX technology. This is particularly helpful when operating a network of CORS receivers which may be used in a Real-Time Network or for monitoring applications such as landslides, earthquakes, dams, etc.

Pivot RTX-PP App: The Trimble Pivot RTX-PP App is designed to perform absolute position estimation and coordinate integrity monitoring in postprocessing mode using the Trimble RTX technology. The Pivot RTX-PP App provides highly accurate position computations based on the RTX postprocessing technique. This enables precise determination of initial coordinates for CORS or measurement of displacements after station movement.

Applications: Pivot RTX and Pivot RTX-PP Apps are ideal for applications including:

  • Establishing or monitoring station coordinates in Real-Time Networks
  • Measuring absolute station movement for earthquake, volcano, landslide, dam or other monitoring applications
  • Providing kinematic and/or static/filtered positions
