Baseline Processing Precision

    Hello, I am very new to using Trimble surveying equipment. I surveyed river cross-sections for a project that we are working on. When I try to process the baselines I get very poor precision (1.4 m - 4.5 m). 

     

    My workflow is as follows:

    Import survey into TBC

    Download base station site data for the closest site

    process baselines by selecting all the lines except the one control point I surveyed.

     

    Additional info:

    GNSS unit - Trimble R4.

    One control point surveyed, but I haven't done anything with the point or specified the coordinates.

    The calculation method when processing baselines comes back as type 'float', from what I was able to work out this should be 'fixed'?

     

    Thank you

    Hi Andreas,

    There could be many reasons the BL processing doesn't deliver good result. To name a few, the occupation isn't stabilized (rover was moving), duration is too short, number of healthy satellites is small, base station is far. Would you mind sharing your dataset with me rui_wu@trimble.com, so we can take a closer look?

    Thank you.

    Have you read tutorial information of TBC or there might be YouTube TBC videos that illustrate the steps you should be taking.
