Leica Geosystems today rolled out a new line of GNSS-based monitoring products covering a wide-range of applications, from single reference station monitoring to regional and statewide RTK systems, the company said.

This new line of products for reference station and structural monitoring includes:

    * Leica GeoMoS version 4.0 advanced multipurpose automatic deformation monitoring software. This features the ability to gather, store and analyze data recorded by Campbell Scientific datalogger geotechnical devices, such as sensors and gauges, along with data gathered by geodetic instruments, such as GPS or total stations, into a single database, the company said. These sensors allow observations below the surface of the ground and directly on or inside structures with high accuracy.
      * Leica SpiderWeb version 2.2 GNSS Internet network distribution software. This enables GNSS station or network data to be viewable for public or internal access via standard web browsers; users can apply full network correction information to create Virtual RINEX observation files for individual rover locations using Leica GNSS Spider real-time network processing archives. Additionally, this version includes advanced services and add-ons for GNSS network web services such as the availability of a centralized automatic coordinate computing service. The integrated interface with Leica GNSS QC quality control software provides permanent up-to-date status and quality information for each station, according to Leica.
    * Leica GNSS QC version 2.0, which offers greater GNSS quality control and data analysis, including real time analysis of residual ionospheric and tropospheric/geometric error across a real-time kinematic (RTK) network. Leica GNSS QC 2.0 also contains many improvements for reference station integrity monitoring, quality control of GNSS data, and analysis of GNSS monitoring results, according to Leica. Support for global navigation files, including Hatanaka and Z compression, enable the automatic RINEX quality-check function to be used with a broader range of GNSS reference networks.
    * Leica GNSS Spider version 3.0, the company's application for GNSS infrastructure and network RTK, incorporates comprehensive GPS and GLONASS Network RTK services with future-proof capabilities to capture GNSS signals, such as GPS L5 and Galileo, Leica said.
