How to check if your surveyors are holding the pole vertically with the Leica GS18 T

作为调查经理，您可能会意识到问题 - 您要求您的团队确保杆在测量和累积时是垂直的。但是，当他们从场地返回时，无法知道杆是否真的垂直固定。到目前为止。使用时Leica Captivate与Leica GS18 tGNSS sensor, it is now possible to check if survey teams were holding the pole vertically.

新的“仅商店倾斜”功能

到目前为止，我们一直在解释GS18 T如何是最快的GNSS RTK漫游者，因为由于倾斜的测量值不再需要垂直固定杆。这仍然是正确的，并且可能是与GS18 T合作的主要方式。但是，在某些项目上，由于法律要求，不允许倾斜的测量值。即使在这些项目上，当必须垂直握住杆子时，GS18 T仍然是正确的工具 - 可以用来证明杆子垂直固定。

在Caintivate v3.50中，引入了一种新设置，称为“仅商店倾斜”。当激活此设置时，倾斜度补偿不会应用于测量 - 必须垂直固定杆。但是，当存储一个点时，倾斜值将与点坐标一起存储。

The video below shows how to activate the setting and by tilting the pole, the tilt values are still computed. We then measure some points with the pole held vertically. The measured points, including the tilt values are then imported intoLeica Infinity可以看到倾斜值的地方。可以分析测量值 - 包括通过其倾斜值对点进行排序。

通过不握住杆子的垂直线可以引入多少错误？

当用常规方式用GNSS RTK传感器测量点时，必须垂直固定传感器，以使极点在天线的中心垂直下在天线中心（天线参考点-ARP） - 通过不保持图1。从垂直方向上，将引入一个误差，将其引入测量点坐标。倾斜度越大，错误越大。

When measuring points in a conventional manner, a surveyor always tries to hold the pole as vertically as possible by watching the bubble attached to the pole. Most level bubbles attached to poles have a 20’ bubble. This means that even when carefully watching the bubble, it is easy for the pole to be tilted by 20’. A 2-metre pole tilted by 20’ introduces a 1-centimetre error to the computed ground coordinates.

In addition, since it is not easy to hold the pole vertical, still and simultaneously measure a point, many users will measure for more than 1 epoch (say 5 epochs). Over this time, any movement in the pole will be averaged.

该点存储了什么倾斜值？

If a point is measured with one epoch, then the tilt value that is stored with the point is the tilt value at that epoch. If a point is measured for more than one epoch, then the largest tilt value over the epochs when the point was measured is stored with the point.

Make sure to regularly calibrate the bubble on your pole

Of course, even if the surveyor watches the bubble and carefully holds the pole such that the bubble is centred, this is of no use if the bubble itself is not calibrated. It is a simple task, and we recommend pole bubbles are calibrated once a month, or sooner if the pole is dropped.

此外，当然可以使用GS18 T来检查气泡的校准。将杆放在双脚脚架中，通过观察气泡并观察当前GS位置面板中的倾斜值来垂直固定杆。
