A GPS survey receiver with remotely-controlled total station functionality
The flexibility of an all-on-the-pole RTK rover and remotely-operated total station for large or complex survey jobs
The ultimate one-person survey system built around the GPS1200 rover and remote TPS1200+. Use GPS or total station capabilities in a single key stroke. When GPS is restricted by overhead obstructions…use TPS; when no TPS line-of-sight is available...use GPS.
The entire survey or stake out process is carried out and controlled by the surveyor at the pole. Switch between RTK and total station measurements as required and use whichever is the most suitable.
Features:
- Flexible Alternatives: Users can survey and stake out with RTK GPS or the remote total station, or both— whichever is best, depending on the area and the distance to the points to be measured.
- Unconventional Control: With SmartPole, surveyors can establish control points with RTK and measure to them simultaneously with the total station to resect its position.
- On-the-fly Measurements: With SmartPole, setup the total station in the most convenient location, instantly begin the survey and determine the total station coordinates and orientation On-the-Fly whilst conducting the survey for unmatched productivity.
SmartTIP: The SmartPole’s quicksnap telescopic pole allows surveyors to quickly adjust reflector height, with the confidence that the pole height will not change even with rough treatment or if the pole topples over.
Leica SmartPole saves time in both the office and the field. No longer is it necessary to first measure orientation points and only then detail points. Simply begin the survey and conduct the setup On-the-Fly whilst completing the survey. Once the TPS orientation and coordinates are known, all measured points are automatically updated.
With Leica SmartPole, both TPS and GPS are available at all times to ensure every point can be measured. When GPS is restricted by overhead obstructions… use TPS; when no TPS line-of-sight is available... use GPS. Benefit from easy-to-use GPS and continuous productivity.
Common Hardware Components
Leica SmartPole is fully compatible with System 1200. The same SmartAntenna can be used together with a TPS1200 as a SmartStation, together with a RX1250 controller as a SmartRover or together with a 360° reflector and RX1250 controller as a SmartPole. Common hardware components reduce costs and increase the flexibility of equipment deployment.
Setup On-the-Fly
Leica SmartPole removes reliance on existing control and allows surveys to immediately begin. Avoid time consuming traverses to bring control to the survey area. Never make compromises with the TPS location and never search for control points. With SmartPole, setup the TPS in the most convenient location, instantly begin the survey and determine the TPS coordinates and orientation On-the-Fly whilst conducting the survey. Save time and money. Increase productivity and profits.
Increased Flexibility
Every survey site is different. Some are best suited to TPS, others to GPS. With SmartPole both TPS and GPS are available. When GPS is restricted by overhead obstructions… use TPS; when no TPS line-of-sight is available... use GPS. Benefit from easy-to-use GPS and continuous productivity. If upon completing the SmartPole TPS setup GPS is no longer needed, then the SmartAntenna can always be used as a SmartRover in parallel with the robotic TPS for double productivity.
Leica SmartRTK: Always in focus
Users of GNSS Reference Station Networks expect their results to be consistent throughout the com-plete Network, but often they’re unaware that virtually computed Reference Stations compromise con-sistency. Only with Leica Geosystems ingenious SmartRTK can you be sure that you’re getting the best performance of your complete GNSS system. Even the new RTCM 3.1 International standard now includes correction data designed by Leica Geosystems to ensure that the results are consistent and traceable anywhere in the network. And the new atmospheric decorrelator technology provides precise positioning in all Networks regardless of the correction data.
