Does TMM support the Trimble R12i Survey Receiver

  • 1.  Does TMM support the Trimble R12i Survey Receiver

    Does Trimble Mobile Manager support the stream from a Trimble R12i, or other Survey grade R series (R10, R10-2, R12).    Now that we have an Android controller (600 or 650) or TSC5, the need to support ESRI Field Maps using TMM is a mechanism to expand the user community (GIS users) who are looking for high precision input into Field Maps.

    I'm aware that modern version of TMM supports the DA2.  What about the R10/R12 series of receivers.

    Hi Joel,

    In short the answer is yes, TMM does support them, with the caveat that while TMM supports calibration for TIP (tilt compensation), the position output does not include it.

    Mark,
    Excellent.  So, for now, we tell folks in cases where TMM is used in a Field Maps workflow, to enable the rod bubble (exact term escapes me at this moment), but the technique of calibration of the reciever to a independent bubble level on the rod.  If that is done, then the resultant position from a pole leaned over would be passed thru to TMM.  Do I have that right?

    Hi Joel,

    No, the calibration in TMM is purely to recalibrate the internal sensors if they go 'out of whack'. TMM does not utilise the tilt compensation at all, the position you see in TMM will be the actual position of the receiver itself.

    Thanks Mark  any chance to have the IMU TILT in the DA-2 (or maybe DA-3) soon??

    Hi Alexander

    Sorry! No plans for the immediate future. The DA2 has its design and adding an IMU is not easy at all. 
    However, always happy to get input and requests for future products!

    Regards

    Thanks Mathias for your response...  

    Here is another one:    DA-2 to generate data logging .T02 files for static surveys with Trimble DL/ACCESS

    The DA2 is not designed to be a static receiver. It's simply pay to play based on your accuracy requirements and is only a real-time/RTK receiver. You can do static logging with the Trimble R2 though.

    Joel,

    Hi, there are some guidelines to follow with the Survey grade R series GNSS Receivers with ArcGIS Field Maps.

    See this Trimble Product Configuration guide:

    https://geospatial.trimble.com/product-configuration-guide

    R10: Android only Field Maps

    R10 - 2: Android and iOS Field Maps

    R12/12i: Android and iOS Field Maps

    Side note - the TCS5 Android doesn't support portrait mode for ArcGISField Maps.

    So if you use Field Maps with the TSC5 - be prepared for some head tilting in Landscape mode.

    Thanks,
