Two survey modes

to improve your efficiency

Never Wrong Vs. Fixed Priority


Tersus creatively provides two survey modes for users, never wrong (accuracy priority) and fixed priority. The never wrong (accuracy priority) mode guarantees the accuracy of customer’s survey points through strict threshold constraints, which is suitable for scenarios with high accuracy requirements such as RTK control survey; the fixed priority mode focuses on improving user measurement efficiency by seeking a balance between accuracy and the time required to get a fixed solution while satisfying the specification requirement of accuracy (RMS≤5cm). The Tersus R&D team controls the satellite searching status of the board through internal commands, including receiving different constellations, satellite altitude angles, signal-to-noise ratio satellites, and other forms by setting them to reproduce complex scenes such as half-sky, urban canyon, dense forest cover, and so on. And we statistically analyze the fixed speed and accuracy RMS values of never wrong VS fixed priority mode in the lab. 

The following gives the actual measurement data of the half-sky scene, using Tersus Geobee30 base station, baseline distance of 15km, in the half-sky obscured scene, using GPGGA logging to identify the GNSS status identifier, count single RTK initialization from state 2 (code difference) to state 4 (fixed) duration, a total of 10 times initialization; at the same time, each time after completing RTK fixed, continuously observe 10 times, count and analyze the accuracy of survey points in a different mode. Figure 1 shows the comparison of the time required for fixation in the two modes;


















You can see from Figure 2 that in the fixed priority mode, the plane mean square error is 1.98 cm, and the elevation mean square error is 2.03 cm; 








From Figure 3, in the never wrong (accuracy priority) mode, the plane means the square error is 1.53 cm, and the elevation means the square error is 1.72 cm.











You can see that in this scenario, the average fixation speed of the fixed priority mode is increased by about 38% compared to the average fixation speed of the never wrong (accuracy priority) mode. At the same time, there is no significant decrease in the accuracy. 

The two modes support hot-switching, so you can choose the survey mode you want at any time during the measurement. Just follow the steps below and use your fingers to configure it in the Nuwa app.

How to Use Oscar to Collect Static Data for A Given Length of Time

Usually, we need to collect static data for a given length of time, for example, 2 hours. In the past, the surveyor had to record the start time and keep an eye on the clock all the time. The function of setting the static collection duration in Oscar GNSS Receiver can solve this problem. When setting the static survey, the surveyor only needs to enter the duration time, then start it, and no more attention will be required. When the time is up, Oscar will automatically stop recording, with no fewer or more data. Now we show you how to set the Oscar static collection duration on the OLED display of Oscar. 1. Turn on the Oscar, press the Power ON/OFF button and Function (FN) button, and go to Mode Config -> Static. The default option of Static is OFF, and you can press the Function (FN) button to switch it to “Auto” or “Manual”. 2. Go to Duration to set the collection time, for example, 120 minutes. 3. Set other options, then choose “Confirm”, and it will start to collect st...

Three Typical Situations of Earthwork Measurement

  Three Typical Situations of Earthwork Measurement Tips for earthwork measurement under different circumstances with Tersus Oscar GNSS receiver and NUWA APP Earthwork calculations are essential in many survey projects, but the complexity of measurement and calculations causes many new engineers headaches. In general, earthwork calculation is divided into two parts: excavation and filling, which can also be simply understood as volume and capacity calculation. The following are the Tips for using the Tersus Oscar GNSS receiver and NUWA App for earthwork measurement under different circumstances. The powerful earthwork calculation function of the NUWA app can calculate the result and quickly; you only need to import the survey points and then input the reference altitude. Notes for measurement: When measuring points, we should measure as many points on the surface of the object as possible. The density of survey points needs to be strengthened in places where the terrain changes sig...
