Post Processed

After an initial pass through the equipment and software operations by the instructor the students are engaged in a "hands on" field exercise and subsequent session of software processing and final coordinate production. This is followed by detailed discussion of likely problems and pitfalls (and how to avoid them).

The classes are concluded with a final round of questions and answers and a discussion of ways to increase the scope and quality of the business opportunities available because of these tools. Application guides outlining the Trimble Survey Controller, various receiver operations and TGO/TBC computations will be provided.

There will be at least one field exercise (two if time permits) incorporated into the three day session. The basic class schedule follows, if necessary modifications can be made to accommodate particular requirements of the attendees.

(As mentioned above, this class may be Combined Post Processed/RTK with RTK in a 5 day session. Intermediate and Advanced Classes are also appropriately customized to fit the end user?s requirements)

Post Processed Course Outline

DAY ONE

Morning session

• Introduction and discussion of general GPS principles and concepts (WGS84 reference frame, heights vs. elevations, local coordinates, etc.)
• This segment conducted with various slides (paper copies of the slides are included) and examples using the Trimble software

Afternoon session

• Introduction to the Surveyor Controller/receivers using a computer based version of the equipment projected onscreen
• Review and prepare system for field use (cabling, power considerations, etc.)

DAY TWO

Morning session

• Review previous conceptual discussions and system considerations
• Setup and run planning software for field session (satellite planning as well as survey goals and parameters)
• Conduct field exercise (the purpose of this session is to become familiar with the system setup and basic data capture, including post processing kinematic techniques)

Afternoon session

• Basic introduction to TGO/TBC
• Download field data, review and discuss data manipulation and management
• Process and adjust data from the field exercise, including incorporation of the geoid model elevation values

DAY THREE

Morning session

• Review previous concepts and procedures
• Process and adjust extensive sample data sets with TGO/TBC, concentrating on baseline evaluation, adjustment procedures and results using Least Squares

Afternoon session

• Continue TGO/TBC training
• Discuss basic connections between the RTK and Post Processing aspects of the system
• Final review and open discussion
