Duration: 2 days

Cost: $3,000

Experience level: Beginner

Synopsis:

This course is designed to provide a Leica surveying onboarding experience for staff when they join a new organisation. It is suitable for Surveyors at all levels, where they may have had limited experience using Leica equipment before. The course will be customised to include the equipment and workflows that the organisation currently uses.

What you'll learn:

Introductions and purpose

Discussion around workflows with your current equipment

Overview of Leica equipment

Transition to Leica workflows

Practical job and data management

Introductory Field sessions – equipment as appropriate

Leica Infinity job management, download, QA and tools

Further field sessions – GNSS and/or robotic

Leica Infinity, download and QA

Support tools

Duration: 0.5 -1 Day

Cost: POA

Experience level: Any level from graduate to experienced Surveyor

Synopsis:

Learn how to set up a GNSS control survey for success (Cadastral or Engineering). Hands on Post Processing of static data and investigate that data for possible errors. Work with both RINEX and raw GNSS data. Use post processed results in a Least Squares Adjustment (LSA software will either be Leica Infinity or MicroSurveys StarNet – depending on the student requirements) and learn how to interpret the results. Free Demo licenses will be available for hose without access to the software.

What you'll learn:

How to Plan a Static job

How to execute the job in the field

Importing and Processing data (hands on) in Leica Infinity

Least Square Adjustment of data

Result Interpretation

NOTE: while the post processing of data is in Leica Infinity- all manufacturers RINEX data can be supported, hence open to all.

Duration: 1 Day

Cost: $1,500

Experience level: Beginner to Intermediate

Synopsis:

Using a combination of classroom presentation, software and field sessions, the trainee will develop an understanding of GNSS post processing including campaign design, field data capture, processing, and quality assessment.

What you'll learn:

GNSS Post Processing scenarios

Equipment capability

Data Logging parameters

Campaign planning

Field data Capture session - static

Field data capture session – PPK

Infinity – getting started

Infinity – Configure processing parameters

Infinity – data processing interpretation and QA - static

Infinity – data processing and QA - PPK
