The GS50 / GS50+ Receiver
The GS50 and GS50 + receivers are
specifically designed for GIS data
collection. It uses a different ap-
proach, measure coordinates in a
topological format, relating attribute
information to geographic location.
Like all GIS systems, the GS50 /
GS50+ collect three types of features:
Points, Lines and Areas.
Because these sensors are
configured for GIS use, the main
programs Survey and Stakeout which
are found on the SR510, SR520,
SR530 are replaced by the GIS Data
Collection and the GIS Navigation/
Update program.
Operation and Configuration
If the sensor is configured as a
reference station, there is no differ-
ence between the GIS Data Collec-
tion and the SR5xx Survey program.
Additionally both GIS programs are
situated on the SR510/20/30 in the
application menu and are available as
a paid upgrade option to the survey
program.
Additional applications:
On board the GS50 / GS50+, the
applications Determine Coord Sys,
Point Management, Calculator,
COGO and CFC are available and
identical to those running on the
SR510/20/30.
Point Management is located under
a submenu Point/Line/Area Man-
agement of the main application
menu.
The menu Point leads to the point list
which is identical to the point man-
agement. The menus Line and Area
lead to lists containing measured
lines and areas.
PLOT (F4) shows a graph of the
points, lines or areas.
