New Features and Improvements in SurvCE:
GPS Utilities will now use \”Hang Up\” and \”Dial\” terminology when a GSM modem is used.
German grid files will be delivered along with German language when German is selected in
International installs.
Export KML/KMZ will now work for Carlson SurvCE PC Demo and Carlson SurvPC.
Image file names are now compatible with Carlson Survey.
SurvCE now supports (IBGE) versions of SAD69 projections for Brazil. These versions will
apply the official 3 parameter datum shift from SIRGAS2000 (close to WGS84) to SAD69.
The Configure button from within Store Points/Stakeout will now allow you to turn the GPS
level bubble on and off if the GPS receiver has already been set to output level sensor data.
Find this setting under the \”View\” tab.
The program now detects if the TSF file contains the TPLs component files at the same
location where the original file it is placed at. This avoids the error when loading a file,
directly passed from the Carlson Office Software, where the paths included are going different
on the Data Collectors/tablet PC, etc.
The Pacific Crest XDL Rover 2 Bluetooth radio is now supported.
Satellite data in the monitor skyplot screen now refreshes every 2 seconds. The graphic in the
skyplot now loads faster.
The info screen under equip->GPS Rover/Base now shows the model name if queried from the

receiver.
For data collectors using a cellular network connection, the appropriate type of network
connection to make will be queried from the data collector.
If GDOP or TDOP are not valid, they will not be displayed at the bottom of the Store Points
screen.
If the connection to the GPS on startup fails, the software will no longer attempt to start the
position stream.
SurvCE now allows the user to edit the point number in resection after the reading has been
taken.
Loading a road model is now 70% faster.
All internal GSM modems can now reconnect to the network RTK when starting SurvCE or
after waking up.
The increment arrows on the signal to noise bar now display properly for portraitview data
collectors.
The timeout to query an NGS data sheet was increased from 2 to 5 minutes to allow for very
slow connections.
SurvCE now supports a maximum of 64 satellites (increased from 32).
Desktop demo versions now combine support of portrait and landscape, allowing the user to
switch orientation in the about dialog.
Export ASCII now supports adding custom defined spaces to pad values as a prefix or suffix.
New Coordinate System: German Grid — German MV-Grid 1942 Gauss-Kruger Zones 3,4
and 5.
New Coordinate System: German Grid — German MV-Grid RD83 Gauss-Kruger Zone 3,4,5.
KML/KMZ how supports exporting zipped archive in WindowsCE.
SurvCE Demo programs on the PC will import JPEG and TIF georeferenced images.
For instruments that only support Bluetooth connections, only the Bluetooth option will be
shown in the Comms tab.
SurvCE now supports the option to write the MO (units record) as a note in the RW5 file.
Getac 336 — The Getac LRBT cap now works on the Getac 336 data collector.
The Resection routine now allows the user to edit the data if the calculate button shows NO
SOLUTION. Now, regardless of whether there is a solution, the user can go into the resection
review/edit dialog. It will still not be possible to store the point until a solution is possible and
accepted by the user.
NGVD29 is now supported.
SurvCE now supports the option under COGO/Pt Average/Settings to disable the warning if
prompt for Hgt/Desc is off and Pt. average same ID is on.
SuvCE now allows space characters in a CAD entity’s name.
New Features and Improvements in SurvPC:
*Note that SurvPC also includes all SurvCE improvements
SurvPC now supports Graphical Coordinate System (GCS) for Esri OEM Engine data sets.
SurvPC now supports retrieving Ground Radar Information from the US Radar Controller
Software to use in combination with store points.
MSXML 6.0 SP1 added to installation as redistributable.
SurvPC OEM Esri Alternate CAD Engine now supports F2F Offsets in Survey/Stk Screens.

Bug Fixes:
SurvCE will no longer crash when an invalid target is read from the custom target list. The
software will also no longer write bad values for min and max channels when creating custom
targets.
SurvCE will now always show the direction of the polyline, regardless of zoom level, in the
MAP screen. This improves the reverse polyline routine.
Stake Road, using cut from alignments, or from RoadModel, ensures that the Template Series
finds the correct surface = cross section, even if the model (3D strings) are not aligned
correctly at the ends (to the normal of the main road), (solution, extends or trims, small
amounts from the 3D strings to align correctly to the station from the Template Series).
SurvCE will now write a new LS record before storing a new point after any edit is done to the
RW5 file for rod or instrument heights.
RoadModel loading has been improved. Now correctly loads only the \”surfaces\” for picking
the Main Road Centerlines. Surfaces tagged either
centerline
or
centreline
will be accepted.
The horizontal alignments will also be split correctly based on the start station and the
connection between elements.
When exporting GPS positions in Custom format, Grid Z values will now be ground values
with geoid applied, if selected by the user.
Level tolerance will now only be checked in the Average routine if the Level Bubble is turned
on.
The Auto Scale Factor in Localize->TS is now being calculated in Store Points. Previous
versions defaulted to a scale factor of 1.0 when calculating coordinates.
If turning multiple sets using the BD-BR/FR-FD observation order, the LS record will now be
written before the BD record in the next set.
If a geoid model is selected and the Automatic Scale to Grid is selected, SurvCE will now use
geoid separation to calculate the ellipsoid height in order to calculate the z scale factor.
Previous versions used the orthometric elevation.
SurvCE will ignore bits in the DF148_trans_indicator that don\’t have meaning. A reserved bit
on from the SAPOS-Byern server prevented SurvCE from accepting RTCM projection from
server.
Users can no longer cancel a fresh RTCM Projection grid. Improved replacement of old grid
with new. Corrected check for whether last horizontal shift valid to check both lat and lon.
The resection routine no longer has the potential to lock up after calculations if the \”upload
station setup\” setting is enabled.
The Volume/MAP Command now displays in the report additional information:
Import/Export volume, and also Elev Change to Reach Balance.
Carlson Cloud no longer has the potential to crash when exiting the CrewView dialog.
The ARWest 435 radio will now properly display the power settings in radio configuration.
The X and Y values of the GPS tilt feature have been reversed.
There is no longer the potential in resection for angle residuals to get out of sequence when
there are multiple readings to the same point.
Greek/Russian — Stakeout sequences will no longer show \”?\” in place of some characters.
The CL Reference page no longer has overlapping dialog boxes in PC Demo version.
Microsoft Bluetooth driver communication has been improved.
