Comprehensive Functionality
Carlson SurvPC is renowned for its comprehensive functionality that caters to the needs of surveyors and engineers alike. It supports a broad spectrum of equipment, including the latest RTK GPS systems and conventional or robotic total stations. This ensures that you have the flexibility to use the best tools available for your specific tasks, enhancing accuracy and efficiency in the field.
Integration with Esri GIS
One of the standout features of SurvPC is its seamless integration with Esri GIS. The software can load Esri maps and operate natively within the Esri GIS environment, making it a powerful tool for GIS professionals. This integration allows for real-time mapping and data collection, which is essential for accurate and up-to-date GIS projects.
Additionally, with the Esri OEM engine, users can work directly within the Esri GIS environment, ensuring compatibility and ease of use for those familiar with Esri products. This feature is particularly beneficial for complex projects that require detailed GIS data and analysis.
Enhanced Hardware Capabilities
SurvPC leverages the enhanced hardware capabilities of modern Windows PCs, including ruggedized laptops. This includes increased processing power, greater virtual memory, and the ability to handle large datasets. These enhancements mean that you can work more efficiently, with fewer interruptions and faster processing times.
User-Friendly Interface
The user interface of SurvPC is designed for ease of use, with larger screen sizes and more convenient touch screen functionality. This makes it easier to navigate and utilize the software, even in challenging field conditions. The intuitive design ensures that both novice and experienced users can operate the software effectively.
Advanced Data Management
SurvPC excels in data management, with features that allow for direct saving to Esri geodatabases without the need for import/export processes. This streamlines workflows and reduces the potential for data errors. The software is also compatible with Carlson office products, supporting file formats such as .fld and .flc, which further enhances its versatility.
Import and export capabilities for MicroStation .dgn files and AutoCAD .dwg files are included, making it easy to integrate SurvPC with other CAD and GIS applications. This interoperability is crucial for projects that involve multiple software platforms and data sources.
Real-Time Data Collection and Mapping
With the RD Map™ app, SurvPC enables real-time data collection and mapping. The app uses Bluetooth to connect to the locator and obtain GPS positional information, creating detailed maps of buried utilities. This real-time capability is essential for accurate field data collection and immediate analysis.
The RD Map™ app supports various file formats, including CSV and KML, which can be easily shared via email or messaging systems. This ensures that data collected in the field can be quickly and efficiently communicated to team members or clients.
Automated Usage Logging
SurvPC models equipped with GPS (indicated by models ending with 'G') automatically log key locate parameters every second. This automated logging provides a comprehensive record of field activities, which can be used for compliance verification, training assessments, and internal audits. The data generated is invaluable for ensuring best practices and improving overall field operations.
Usage data can be exported in multiple formats, such as KML for Google Maps, to provide a visual confirmation of work performed. This feature supports transparency and accountability in field operations, making it easier to track progress and verify task completion.
