NAV38 Features (data acquisition program)

Display functions:

  • Displays locations of logged GPS positions and current location of an operator in real time while in Navigation mode
  • Scale of map is user specified (meters or feet) and it scrolls automatically once the end of the screen is reached
  • EM38 conductivity or Inphase data is displayed with moving graphic bar and in numeric form, EM38 dipole mode, component, and instrument range also moni
    tored
  • Current GPS antenna position in Latitude/Longitude, type of differential corrections (AGPS, DGPS, RTK, Phase), PDOP or other equivalent parameter (depends on NMEA used), number of satellites, and number of GPS positions in the file
  • Positions of interpreted anomalies which are entered as an ASCII file allow you to navigate to points of interest

Survey parameters:

  • Survey modes supported (Auto, Wheel, or Manual)
  • Integration of readings available in Manual mode (up to 100 readings per station)
  • Maximum rate of data acquisition is 10 Hz (assuming 1 Hz GPS output)
  • New Line, New Station, Comment entry
  • Change of scale in Navigation and Profile modes at any time



GPS functions:

  • Configuration of logger serial port to accommodate any GPS settings
  • GPS output monitoring
  • Support for NMEA messages: GGA, GGA/GSA, GLL, POS, LLQ, LLK, GGK, and stream from Leica Robotics Total Station TPS1100
  • Option to act as a stand-alone GPS logger, which would allow data to be collected in GXY file format (compatible with any TrackMaker or Multi program)
  • Offset for GPS antenna in any direction
