From the Ad, over at RPLS TODAY....

[Nate The Surveyor]

The information hungry sharks are hungry.
1.) It appears that the "Free RTPK" has been extended to the end of Sept". I understand this, as some advertisement was not out till August was partly over. And, some of us had to do some upgrading of OAF's and firmware, etc, to "Get it going". A big healthy THANK YOU!

2.) The "Next Generation Program" is a super idea. Get these things into the hands of the colleges, and universities, and let them TRAIN with Javad gear. Surveying worldwide will improve!

3.) Triumph 3. 874 Channels. High Precision GNSS, AND IMU. Now, that got my attention. What's going on here? Does the Triumph 3 have an IMU inside it? (Inertial Measurement System) Where does this take us? I thought the T-3 was for a new BASE. Bases don't need an IMU, unless they are not for a base... but for a ROVER.

Please take a moment, and "Feed the sharks".
Thank you,
Nate

IMU may be for the base alarm feature. But the T3 could also be used as a rover, no?

 

[Nate The Surveyor]

T-3 as a rover? How? with the Victor as a data collector?

[Shawn Billings]

Javad Mobile Tools will control it.

Javad Mobile Tools will control it.

Shawn,
I know a bit about Mobile Tools and have done some very basic testing a couple of years ago. What's the best source of information about its capabilities and how to use it? Should I just search the forums and 'self-teach' or is there a writeup somewhere? Thanks

 

[Nate The Surveyor]

JMT goes into a cell phone, right?
So, would it need an imu?
What am I missing here?
Thanks,
Nate

 

[Shawn Billings]

I don't understand the question, Nate. The Triumph-3 has the IMU. The phone or tablet with JMT is just the collector, it does not require an IMU.

 

[Nate The Surveyor]

Ok, an IMU is an inertial measurement unit. Not static, but in motion.
This means that the T3 is moving. This means that the T3 is being designed to be the rover. Gain fix, in the open, walk back under terrible canopy, and observe. What is an IMU doing on a static base?

[Shawn Billings]

The Triumph 3 can be a base or rover. The IMU doesn't support what you describe.

 

[Nate The Surveyor]

Ok, then what is the IMU there for?
Leica has an IMU on its rover, that serves as a tilt sensor, tilt direction sensor, and such.
Is that it?

 

[Shawn Billings]

Nothing has been announced

Nate, the IMU (inertial measurement unit, I think) in the T3 now only serves to detect when the base has been moved as far as I understand it. But you are correct that there are other ways an IMU can be used. Maybe the folks at JAVAD will surprise us with something fun. In the meantime, it would be interesting to experiment with using the T3 as a rover with JMT on an iPhone for when we need to take a few shots but our two LS units are in use elsewhere. If anyone can give me a head start on how to set that up, I'm all ears. If I figure it out I'll share here.

It may have to do with using the T-3 as a rover with a data collector.

See this thread:

Triumph-Family

What is the projected price of the T3? Very good question - I suppose I should know that before I submit a purchase order! But I expect it to be similar price to the T1-M, based on the trade-in offer they're doing.

Hey Robert, I can help you with JMT and the T3. I am tied up today but you can give me a call tomorrow.
