Leica Caintivate的经验继续与我们的专家进行访谈

TheLeica Caintivate经验继续……5月2日宣布了一些新解决方案。我们已要求Alastair Green，现场SW业务总监，Bernhard Richter，GNSS商业总监Bernhard Richter和TPS商业总监Hans-Martin Zogg解释了什么是新解决方案，什么是什么。对用户的好处。

Alastair, what are the new solutions which were launched with the Captivate v2.00 release?

我们发布了许多新软件和硬件解决方案。这包括

Leica Captivate v2.00for all CS20, CS35, TS16, TS60 and MS60. This software, most of which is described by Bernhard and Hans-Martin, includes a number of new features such as

- 支持新的自我学习Leica GS16，其555个频道，rtkplus，smartlink和smartlink填充，

- 在Leica MS60上：新的动态锁以及所有TS16，TS60和MS60，新的定向对象设置方法

- 以及少数其他功能和错误修复。

Leica SmartWorx Viva v6.00for all CS10, CS15, TS15, TS50, TM50 and MS50. There are mainly bug fixes in the new software for these controllers and instruments. Since SmartWorx Viva also runs on the GS sensors, this version should also be loaded to GS10, GS14, GS15 and GS25.

Full details of all new functionality can be found in the release notes which can be downloaded frommy World.

We receive a lot of wishes and ideas from our customers and always try and implement as many as possible. This is an ongoing process and will continue for the next few years – so ensure to keep your CCP (Customer Care Package) up to date, so you can always install the latest versions.

Bernhard, the new self-learning GS16 was already mentioned by Alastair. What does “self-learning” mean?

As most people know, in the last few years the number of signals from increasing satellite constellation (GPS, Glosnass, BeiDou, Galileo) have grown significantly and this will continue in future.

But more signals do not automatically result in better performance. More signals can create more noise.

The intelligent adaptation to changing conditions by selecting the optimal signal combination is the key to deliver the most accurate positions. Therefore a self-learning GNSS sensor adapts to the conditions in which the sensor is being used.

This means wherever a self-learning GNSS sensor is being used, the best available satellite signals and the best available correction data is chosen automatically. This ultimately results in the best possible position and accuracy regardless of the surrounding conditions.

用户不必担心所有卫星星座 - Leica GS16为他们做到这一点，他们可以比以往任何时候都更有效地工作。

什么是SmartLink？用户如何从中受益？

SmartLink是一项订阅服务，其中GNSS校正数据通过增强卫星传输（与GNSS卫星不同）。

它利用从地静止卫星的校正来计算+/- 3厘米（2D）精度的位置。

SmartLink是任何本地网络（例如SmartNet）中数据差距的理想桥接服务，以保持CM定位，并解决歧义。在完整的偏远区域中，最初的收敛期通常在20到40分钟之间可以达到相同的精度。

So the user has the certainty that his GS16 will continue to provide cm positions even when the RTK data stream is lost or even where no RTK corrections are available at all.

Let’s have a look at the MS60 MultiStation. Hans-Martin, could you please explain the dynamic lock functionality and in which use cases a user can benefit from it?

到目前为止，只有当棱镜通过望远镜的视野时，Leica MS60才检测到并锁定在移动的棱镜上，而望远镜的视野很狭窄。

With the new dynamic lock, the field of view has been enlarged to a vertical laser fan of +/-20°. The MS60 can lock now onto a prism, as soon as the prism crosses this vertical fan. The instrument will detect and lock to the prism.

The new dynamic lock on the MS60 increases the efficiency of the user in many ways, for example when staking out, on construction sites with many obstacles or when a prism is mounted on a moving construction machine.

Let’s watch the video to see these use cases in detail

What is the new “Orientate to object” method about?

“Orientate to object” is a new additional setup method for total stations and MultiStation which allows to orientate the instrument’s coordinate system into an object coordinate system. The difference between common setup methods is that with “orientate to object” the horizon of the two coordinate systems do not need to be parallel. In other words, the vertical axis of the two coordinate systems do not need to be parallel. Or the z-axis of the object is not in the direction of gravity.

This new setup methods opens up new application areas, such as for instance as-built check of pre-fabricated elements. An example could be a concrete beam fabrication factory. For this use case, the instrument is setup in the factory and is measuring the concrete beams. Each beam has its “own coordinate system”. The beams are not moving and simply need to be measured to check tolerances prior to delivery.
