Carlson Software experts will be demonstrating the newest abilities of the 5.0 version of SurvCE, its data-collection software, at INTERGEO, being held in Stuttgart, Germany, Sept. 15-17. Carlson will have two stands: indoors at  C8.017 (Hall 8) and outdoors at FG.004.

SurvCE v. 5.0 software is scheduled to be officially released and available for download following extensive testing and after final enhancements are completed in October. Those buying a new license of SurvCE 4.0 software between now and the release of SurvCE 5.0 will receive an automatic upgrade to 5.0.

SurvCE 5.0 focuses on speed and power.  A new memory allocator empowers users to do more, faster, opening large drawing and coordinate files with ease.

Other top new improvements include the following:

  • Enhanced GNSS tilt sensor (IMU) for confirmation of level and the taking of measurements with tilted GPS/GNSS poles (works with selected GNSS such as Stonex and CHC in addition to Carlson);
  • All-new GNSS Mission Planning, which will include GLONASS mission planning;
  • Newly designed two-step stakeout procedure now intuitively and accurately guides the user to his point, delivering easy to follow navigation that shifts to proximity information as he gets close to target;
  • And map-picked, cursor-displayed stakeout and one-pick measurement options.
