PosPac and Trimbe R12

  • 1.  PosPac and Trimbe R12

    Hello, I am new to this forum.

    Has anybody already used the Trimble R12 as a Reference Station (Base  Station) within Applanix PosPac.
    I know that the R10 was often used.

    But since the Trimble R10 is out of production, I want to know before I buy Trimble R12,
    whether its RINEX data work well with PosPac.

    Although I know, it should work, I would prefer to have a confirmation that somebody already used it, to post process trajectory data.

    We use the Trimble R12 in concert with the Applanix PosPac solution both in mobile and Aerial to process trajectories with no issues all the time. It will log .to4 files that can be converted to Rinex

    Thanks Mel, that's great info.
    This confirms what Applanix speakers, today in the PosPac webinar did assume.

    To which RINEX version did you convert the .t04 files before import ? (background is that newer PosPac version now support Rinex 3, too)
    Did you have to specify Antenna information, or was this correctly auto-filled ?

    Alexis,

    When you use Trimble Convert2Rinex it will allow you to choose a Rinex format. We typically have been using Rinex 2.11 with success but it can export Rinex 3.x. We also recommend that you suppress kinematic records when using a Trimble R12i since PosPAC doesn't like two sets of IMU data. When using any Trimble receiver, PosPAC will automatically know the correct receiver type and antenna information. The other nice thing about using Convert2Rinex is that is shows the correct ARP measurement even if you used a Lever Arm or some other method when setting up your Base station. This ARP is what is keyed into PosPAC.
