Justin Link and JMT

For a better communication between Justin Link and JMT, I will like to use a "server-client" project exchange scenario by mounting a FTP server in JMT (new FTP services icon).

That could correspond with a project exchange dialog box in Justin Link, something similar to FileZilla Client interface (TriumphVS link / Project list).

Probably this is already implemented, but I don't know how it works. I could exchange static files, RTK vector data with covariance information (similar to g-file from LS), then graphically view them, but Justin Link shows a Triumph VS icon then a dialog box with "Can't get tvs file" message.

Also, importing a classic *.RW5 / RAW file format from TS and perform coordinate reduction/adjustments, all of these accompanied by a friendly CAD environment with common drawing/modify functions, osnap settings, etc. could make Justin Link a better tool for every surveyor.

Sorin,
JustinLink has built-in service to exchange projects with J-Field and Javad Mobile Tools (both iOS and Android). So you can exchange data as shown in the video above.
For iOS version JMobile has built-in FTP server, because all data are hidden inside the application. For Android version all data are in /storage/emulated/0/javad . So every FTP server can share these data. There are hundred FTP servers in Google Play Market so you can install any and run in background. And exchange JMobile data.
Do we really need such functionality in Android version? Or you had different idea?

Thank you very much for the video and explanations.
I was able to establish the connection between Justin Link and JMT. Just need a sort tool for the projects in the "Project list" dialog box and somehow the same project information that we have in JMT/Job, if possible.
Best regards.

Yuri, the idea of such a FTP Services icon was to also create a fast phone to phone project synchronizing and exchange capabilities for all the JMT data shown in the above video, right in the field. I will search Google Play Market, first.

Bluetooth transfer is slow, memory stick with adapter cables are inconvenient, internet not available in some areas, so a in-place wi-fi server/client transfer scenario between phones is the best choice (similar to Wi-Fi Direct technology, if supported on both Android/iOS devices).

My thoughts here are about a field-to-finish workflow with a GNSS receiver, JMT, Justin Link and a (little) computer.
According to the above video, importing a survey project from JMT, generates corresponding RTK points probably with all the associated (tabular) vector information surveyed in the field with multiple RTK engines. Every collected RTK point could have graphically representations (similar to static *.jps recordsets). Usually we set some of the RTK shots as reference (control) points.

It will be nice if JMT could perform a classic *.RW5/RAW field data collection (mainly from J-Mate) and Justin Link imports and dynamically calculates the averages and residuals for the horizontal/vertical/distances readings, then displaying a correct value also based on the settings of the survey elements (prism, temperature, pressure, etc). Some adjustment routines could deal between reference (control) points and a classic *.RW5/RAW field book, if possible.

In JMT, user CAD drawing is in developing. I was told to wait. Justin Link must also have a modern ribbon-based interface and implements a easy to use CAD with command line prompter, and subcommands that are intended to provide alternative choices for various drawing CAD elements.

Somehow we must find a way to have a field-to-finish in house surveying solution from Javad with a GNSS receiver, a small computer running a modernized Justin Link version and JMT for field data collection.

Just a *.rw5 export demo with my Android phone collecting points, using internal GPS, no base, no correction, no accuracy, single point positioning.

JMT could also have the option to import/export GNSS RTK vector records in *.rw5 format.

Just created a new catalog file in JMT 3.9.1 b1 version. I should be able to import a simple P,N,E,Z,C,D comma delimited file, but not working for the moment.

I can manually compare catalog coordinates for a real reference station vs those stored in JMT/RTK Bases during point collection in the field, but I think it will be useful for JMT to perform some automatic real-time comparison, validation and alert for the current RTK broadcast base position/coordinates (from RTCM3 messages) vs catalog point coordinates, if possible.

The alert will probably work with a proper stream message selection from the RTN source table (ex: MAC, iMAX, etc.) in which situation JMT/RTK Bases will show the real reference station from the RTN (not a virtual one).
Also helpful if Justin Link could perform some mount point position discrepancy checks when importing JMT projects.

Sorin,
Could you provide a file that caused the problem with import to catalog.
Also it is interesting feature to compare RTK Base coordinates with a catalog coordinates. But how to use is? What is the reason to compare to?
Also I can add a feature to send mount points coordinates from source table to a catalog. Is this that you need?

Yuri,
1. Cannot manage to import a Civil 3D text file. The import routine doesn't let me to select more fields, except Name,x,y,h, also showing TS Points instead of Catalog points.

2. In JMT/Map we can check to display both RTK Bases and Catalog Points. Now we can calculate the distance between the RTCM transmitted RTN Base position and the nearest Catalog coordinate point, for that RTN. If they are identical, the distance should be zero. I'm interested in some continuous monitoring for the distance parameter and a visible alert during surveying, when accidentally, for whatever reasons it becomes non zero.

Probably some kind of a continuous "blinking" for the Correction symbol in the upper status bar. Is it correct/possible?

1. I will check catalog export/import.
2. The feature is great. Is it enough to see the mark in Corrections page or you need this mark on survey/stakeout screens?

In my opinion, survey/stakeout screens are the main candidates. Correction page could have some additional details like time of occurrence, duration, shift parameters, etc.
Affected survey points should be also marked and an option to restore shifted vectors to their correct origin both in JMT/Justin Link, will be appreciated.

In recent versions of Windows, they no longer include a specific set of Dlls necessary for working with jmtjob.

Please download and install ´Microsoft Visual C ++ 2008 SP1 Redistributable Package (x86) ´:

You also need to install the Windows Mobile 6.1 Device Center.
