If you are using Trimble surveying equipment at your site and are working on a local grid system, you can generate a Trimble JobXML (.JXL) file from your rover or Trimble business center.
Your JXL must contain these parameters:
- Projection of the project, and
- The horizontal/vertical adjustments
If you only have one .DC or .CAL file, Trimble Business Center can convert it to a JXL file.
The local site calibration setup must be completed before data or AeroPoints are submitted for processing. Adding a .jxl file is built into the flow for creating new sites.
Creating a new site
To start, create a new site in your portal to upload your .jxl file.Drag and drop or navigate to the location of the .jxl file on your computer.
Your file will be processed, and the required parameters will be extracted. Review the calibration details and click NEXT.
If you get an error here, it could be because your file does not contain the correct information or the required geoid is not currently supported.
Once your file has been processed successfully, you will receive confirmation that the site has been created. You have several options to complete setting up your site:
- Upload Data
- Open your site
- Plan your first flight
- Configure site
