Dennis, make sure in the support and update area that GPRS/EDGE is selected, mine wasn't when I first updated the controller
Support > Remote Assistance > Connect to Javad GNSS, INC server
If you have not previously entered an Operator Name a keyboard prompt will appear asking for this.
I hit the connect button. Is there something else I need to do?
I’ve been connected since this morning. Do you know if anyone has checked it out?
I looked at it and saw that GeoData was not updating. It is disconnected from RAMS now. Can you reconnect and leave it connected overnight?
Yes. I just reconnected and will leave it that way till I hear from you.
I am still waiting for @Eugene Aksyonov to advise how to fix this. In the meantime I attached the CS you need.
Thanks Matt!
Hi Matt. I loaded the CS into the collector and it drags it down. Taking several minutes to change screens. It doesn’t like something about it. When I delete it off, the collector works as it should.
What part of the country are you in, Dennis?
I should have gave you the version without HTDP. Here it is. I think the old version of GeoData you have doesn't support HTDP and this was the reason for the problems.
Also for your knowledge, you can use the free JustinLink program to export any coordinate system:
Application > Options > Coordinate System > then find the desired CS and Add to Favorites
Then right click on in it the favorites menu and choose Export > JCS
Application > Options > Coordinate System > then find the desired CS and Add to Favorites
Then right click on in it the favorites menu and choose Export > JCS
I’m in Iowa.
Thanks for all your help Matt. I’ll try the CS and get justinlink downloaded just in case I need others.
Hi Matt. That coordinate system didn't cause the data collector to slow down, but it's not calculating the right coordinates. The collect screen will only display lat and long for coordinates. When you switch a project that was in a state plane system to the Iowa Regional, it displays very small and some negative coordinates. I'm going to collect some points on known control monuments in our county and will attach screen shots, hopefully tomorrow or Friday. One thing I also noticed on import is that the coord system doesn't come in with a grid icon, it comes in with a house looking icon. Not sure if there's a setting that I need to tweak first.
It shows up as a local coordinate system because you imported it rather than selecting it from a predefined system. Please attach a project archive and I will check to see rather it is a problem the old GeoData version or the Iowa coordinate systems.
Matt, here's a project archive that I originally surveyed using the Iowa South state plane system. I switched it to the Iowa RCS Burlington CS and created the archive. It's not calculating the coordinates correctly. I also attached the tie sheet for GPS Monument #4, a known monument in my county. Point #1 in the project, is this monument.
Here’s a screenshot of the data collector and the coordinates it’s computing for point 1 using Iowa RCS Burlington.
