Time point was surveyed.

    Anybody know how to export the time that points were surveyed. I used my Trimble S3 and now its important to know the hour/min/sec that the point was surveyed.

    Not sure if/how you can export the time surveyed however if you go into Point Manager and scroll to the right, it should say the date and time it was measured.

    Hi Jody ,
    I had another look. if the point was from GNSS they you can pull out the time . If its from a conventional Trimble instrument then this info is not available. I remember trying to do this about 10 years ago. Was hoping this would have been fixed by now.

    If you are looking at the data in TBC, look a the observation rather than the point. Under Observed data in properties there should be a Time stamp field. Here is some data from a VX:

    I can only get the following with TBC 3.03
    I can get time data as long as the point was surveyed with GNSS . If it's any of the Trimble S series instruments, then no time stamp info is available.

    Just looking at the same data  on the survey controller – no time information is available for any of the points.

    I don't think it's possible to time stamp individual surveyed points from any of the S series instruments.

    Hello Andrew,
    TBC 3.03 is pretty old, we are at 5.40 by now, so it might just be a limitation of that old version.


    If you use Trimble Access, or even the old Survey Controller, and you export the data as JXL, you can see the time stamp for every single observation.

    With the ASCII file generator and the right style sheet you can export pretty much everything from the JXL/JOB file. Unfortunately I haven't one with the time at the ready right now.

    Hi Ronny ,
    I only got a copy of TBC many years ago because Trimble Geomatics office stopped doing the GNSS processing . Trimble wouldent fix the problem.
    I often use TGO as its just a lot easier to use. If I have any post processing of GNSS data then I use TBC. Generally, I don't find many new groundbreaking inventions in these new software updates.
    Some cosmetic changes / fix some things and break other things / Move the menus around and make you go through a learning curve to get up and running. Also, compatibility problems with new file formats. Not to mention the high cost.

    It's just easier to not constantly be chasing the latest software versions

    Time storage isn't based on what instrument is used, it is based upon what version or Trimble Access/Survey Controller you are using. It was added maybe 8-10 years ago. I don't recall exactly when. It uses the clock on the data collector.

    Not sure how it work.  The FXL codes has a attribute for date and time stamp.  Maybe someone can chime in on this.

    Hi Andrew,

     Download this style sheet into your "systems" folder on your DC https://trl.trimble.com/dscgi/ds.py/Get/File-720086/Comma%20delimited%20with%20HA,VA,SD,time,date.zip

     With Trimble Access you will have an option to export your points with a time stamp. Keep in mind the time stamp will be related to the time set on your DC.   I hope this helps.

    Brandon , you are a star. I  have just managed to export a job with time data.
    A few years ago , we had given up on the idea . I was thinking this was probably only somthing that Leica had perfected.
    Thank you verry much.

    Glad that worked for you.   I found Trimble can create just about any report or export I need by either using TBC or one of the many style sheets downloaded from the web.
