Point measurement is the most fundamental function in GNSS surveying. In standard point survey mode, each point must be measured manually by tapping the survey button. While this works well for individual points, it can become time-consuming and inefficient during repetitive or continuous measurement tasks.

In practical engineering surveying, measurement points are often constrained by site conditions. In many cases, it is not possible to place the prism directly at the designed center point of a column or structure.

Earlier this year, the T8 Pro tablet received a product upgrade, which means there are now two versions of the T8 Pro in use. Although both versions deliver the same positioning accuracy and core functionality, there are minor differences in appearance and device model selection within the software.

In an earlier Tech Chat, we explained how to set up the S20 smart antenna to output RTCM correction data as a base station. In this blog, we expand on that topic by introducing additional serial port commands—such as entering SBAS mode and adjusting receiver configurations—giving you more flexibility when working with the S20.

In traditional GNSS workflows, setting up a network base station normally requires inserting a SIM card into the receiver. This often means users must prepare an extra SIM card solely for base-station usage while ensuring the receiver has a built-in GSM function.

In our previous post, "Tech Chat | Mastering Laser Surveying with Orion ONE", we introduced how Orion ONE performs laser surveying using direct eye-based aiming.
