Trimble Certified Training - CourseDescriptions

Introductionto Post-Processed GPS Surveying (Trimble Geomatics Office)

Thiscourse is specifically designed to introduce new users of the Global PositioningSystem (GPS) to the basics and fundamentals of how to conduct controlsurveys using classic static GPS techniques. The course provides a broadoverview of post-processing GPS surveying techniques through a series ofclassroom lectures and field exercises featuring Trimble GPS receivers andGeomatics Office software. Topicsinclude:

How GPS is used for surveying

Survey network design and mission planning

Fieldtechniques for Static and Fast-Static surveying

Data management, import, 

Baseline processing and results analysis

Trouble shootingproblem data sets

Data adjustment (least squares)
