TBC – transform survey points question
Hi guys,
Apologies if this is a basic question but I couldn’t find the answer from trimble or other searches. I am wondering about the best practice for transforming survey points in TBC. I am not a surveyor, but have been using a trimble R8 and R10 for to collect topo points at somewhat remote locations so I was not tied into the CORS network (no cell service) or near any monuments. Because of this I set up the base station autonomously for static logging while collecting points with the rover. From testing the static logging on known monuments and sending corrections to OPUS I am pretty confident in the accuracy (tests were within the error range for x,y,z).
Here is my question: The point collection lasted longer than the battery for the base station so I have multiple t02 files from each site. I have sent the t02’s to OPUS and have my corrections but I am wondering what is the best practice for transforming the rover points. Should I average all t02’s from the entire survey period and transform all the rover points from the averaged point. Or should I transform points collected during each t02 to the individual corrections – such as points 1-100 were collected during the first to2 then points 101-200 were collected during the second t02 and I would transform those separately.
I hope that makes sense. This data is not being used for an actual survey but the highest possible precision/accuracy is the goal. Thanks for your time.
