SmartWorx Viva v3.50 – update overview

With SmartWorx Viva v3.50:

• It is now possible to sketch on a variety of different “sheets of paper” including; narrow lined paper; large spaced lined paper; small grid & large grid.
• An additional way to export ASCII data has been added. From the main menu choose Jobs & Data and then 2 Export & copy data and then Export ASCII data. For simple ASCII exports this may be much easier than using a format file.

It is now possible to import dxf files containing DTM data into a DTM job. The DTM job can then be used in to stake relative to the DTM – in the Stakeout DTM app, Stakeout DTM &pts app and in Road, Rail and Tunnel apps. Using this new SmartWorx Viva functionality may be more suitable for some customers than using the existing method of creating DTM jobs within LGO De-sign to Field.

• When importing ASCII data it is now possible to create a new job as the data is imported and store the data to the newly created job. Within the existing Import ASCII Data panel the Create new job on import check box has been added. It is then possible to choose to set the new job as the currently active working or control job and to define to which memory device the newly created job should be stored.
• It is now possible to make a “copy” of the last stored point. This is done by configuring a hot key or the User Favourites menu to include the option Data – Copy last point. When this hot key is used then the New Point panel is accessed – the coordinates of the new point are the same as the last measured point. This may be useful for example when it is needed to give two different feature codes to the same 2 points.
• The import or poly lines which contain arcs from a .dxf or shape file using the “pop up menus” in the map view has been improved. Previously many points along the arc section of the poly line were imported. Now only the start, middle and end point of the arc, along with the centre point of the arc are imported.
• It is now much clearer as to what exactly will be lost when the various memory devices on a CS Field Controller or TS Total Station are formatted. Additional text in the screens describes exactly the objects which will be lost.
• The following total station related icons have been improved: If the mode Single is chosen for the Measure mode then a “1” icon is shown in the icon bar. If the mode Manual is chosen for Target aiming then the ‘hand’ icon is shown in the icon bar.
• The Bluetooth Hidden Point devices Leica Disto D8 and Laser Technology Trupuls 360 are now fully supported.
• In SmartWorx Viva 3.5, SmartRTK will support the new GLONASS MAC corrections to further enhance the SmartRTK position accuracy and availability in MAC supported Reference Station Networks.
• Several new features to the RoadRunner application program.
  • A new app is available called Unlevelled setup. This app which is available for the CS Field Controller and the TS11/15 Total Station allows the user to define a X,Y,Z coordinate system that is not normal to gravity. The application allows data collection and stakeout in the non-normal coordinate system. Unlevelled setup can be used with or without the compensators activated. With the compensators disabled, the instrument can be used on unstable plat-forms like barge's and boats. Using the compensators allows the instrument to be used in fixed positions to lay out objects in a coordinate system that is not normal to gravity.
