About this file

This document is a set of instructions for configuring and using the JAVAD Triumph-2 GNSS receiver to record survey grade GPS positions. It provides detailed steps for setting up the equipment on a computer, iPhone, or Android device, as well as instructions for recording positions, downloading files, and post-processing the data.

The instructions are provided as an exhibit to a federal contract opportunity for the Rocky Mountain Research Station to conduct field-based vegetation sampling of forested and non-forested inventory plots across Nevada. The contract requires locating, monumenting, and photographing plots, as well as conducting various vegetation inventories and measurements. The work must be performed in compliance with the RMRS FIA P2 Field Procedures document.

Post-processing .jps files using the DPOS online tool (not required) This tool works well for post-processing and will give a report (standard or extended format) with the corrected positions and information about the base stations used in the solution. As of now, it does not show the number of positions collected only the number of minutes. The major drawback of using this is that it will throw an error if you try to put files that were collected on different dates in the same project so each day’s positions just need to be post-processed separately.

A. Go to this website (use Google Chrome).

B. Register for an account or login.

C. Open the folder with the .jps files in the location you saved them from iTunes, drag the files you want to post-process into the webpage. Adjust parameters as necessary. Make sure the “Network” option is set to CORS. Give it a project name, set to “Auto” to get the info from the device and hit “Submit.”

D. Go the “Browse Reports” page and wait for the project to finish. Click the name to see a map of the base stations it used and view the report. Click the icons to the right of the name to download a .pdf or .txt file of the report.

Useful resources

• JPS Viewer- this program can open the raw .jps files and summarize them.

• Justin Link- this program is similar to Justin, the JAVAD post-processing software, but it does not have the post processing capabilities, so it does not cost. It can load .jps files in an ArcMap type interface and make certain edits such as datum or antennae https://app.javad.com/jca/#/dpos/list http://javad.com/jgnss/products/software/jps_viewer.html http://javad.com/jgnss/products/software/justinlink.html configuration. It is also a useful way to quickly view the point locations over NAIP imagery.
