LOCUS GPS System |
|
The Ashtech Locus survey system
packs simplicity, reliability, accuracy and affordability into a fully
integrated system ideal for a variety of tough survey applications. |
|
A Comprehensive Survey Package |
With up to 100 hours of
operation on standard D cell batteries, convenient one-button operation, and
a fully automatic Windows 95/NT processing software package, Locus allows
you to perform a multitude of surveys effortlessly and economically. From
centimeter-level static surveys such as control and boundary, to kinematic
jobs such as topographic or as-built surveys, Locus provides everything you
need for reliable, accurate results.
Locus can also be fully utilized as a two-receiver system or expanded to
include three or more receivers. Use it by itself for routine surveying, or
team it with traditional survey instruments in instances where GPS surveying
alone is not feasible. |
|
 |
|
Completely Cable-Free |
|
We have made this survey system
as easy to use as possible. Locus completely does away with cables, so
you're not bogged down with complicated set-up procedures. There is nothing
to plug-in, nothing to connect, and no heavy equipment to haul, so you can
be up and running quickly. The lightweight and compact design makes it easy
for one person to comfortably carry, set up and manage multiple receivers at
a time. |
|
Powerful Software Provides
Field-To-Finish Results |
|
Running on a standard Windows
platform, Locus Processor software provides simple and accurate data
processing within a user-friendly graphical interface that provides a true
representation of your fieldwork. The software is replete with quality
analysis tools designed to ensure accurate and reliable results, and also
includes several other useful features, such as Mission Planning, GPS data
processing, least-squares adjustment, report creation tools, data export
to standard formats, and more.
For example, automatic blunder detection tools help ensure proper
processing the first time by efficiently pointing out problem data to the
user. And with fully automatic processing, Locus Processor software
consistently provides the best possible solutions without your having to
manually process and manipulate data.

|
Built For Optimum Versatility and
Mobility |
The Locus handheld data
collector adds flexibility to your fieldwork while enhancing the quality of
your data. The software program card fits snugly into the back of the
hand-held for added convenience and versatility, making software upgrades
easy.
For basic surveying operation, the Locus hand-held is a valuable option that
provides detailed statistics on receiver operation and data collection
status. It also allows users to enter point-specific attribute information
in the field, removing this task from the person processing the data. When
performing high-productivity surveys such as Stop and Go Kinematic, the
hand-held is required for entering point-specific attribute information in
the field. |
|
The Economical and Dependable Way to
Survey |
|
The Locus survey system is your
one-stop solution for reliable results at an affordable price. Combining
ease-of-use with proven Ashtech GPS technology, Locus is today's answer for
smart surveying. |
