Leica Geosystems GIS DataPRO Post-processing soft-
ware
Leica Geosystems
GIS DataPRO is used for data collec-
tion preparation and data post processing. Please refer to
the “Getting Started with the GIS DataPRO Office Soft-
ware” User Manual for more details.
To install the GIS DataPRO software:
1 Insert the CD-ROM into the CD drive of your PC.
2 Execute the “Setup” command.
3 Follow the instructions that appear on the screen.
Both a hardware and software user manual can be found
on the CD in PDF format. The software itself contains a
comprehensive online Help System.
After the data is collected in the field, the GIS DataPRO
office software allows you to import, edit and export the
data to your GIS. The software can also be used to design
codelists which allow you to customize the field data collec-
tion process to suit your needs. To learn more about the
Leica Geosystems GIS DataPRO office software, please
consult the “Getting Started with the GIS DataPRO Office
Software" User Manual.
Receiver Hardware
Leica Geosystems GS20 Sensor
The Leica Geosystems
GS20 is a handheld GPS receiver
for professional data mapping. With the position and the
field data the user is capable to collect Data for his needs
in his GIS application. The GPS receiver receives the GPS
signal from the NAVSTAR satellites and calculates a range
to the satellites that are visible.
The Leica Geosystems GS20 is a 12-channel L1 code and
phase GPS receiver. The standard Leica Geosystems
GS20 does record phase measurements for post
processing purposes. Phase measurements are used
internally to smooth pseudorange measurements for
higher code positioning. Phase measurement recording for
post processing is available.
There are three antennas available with the Leica Geosys-
tems
GS20:
• AT501 – tracks L1 only.
• RTB Combined Antenna - tracks L1 and RTCM differ-
ential signal from public and private beacon infastruc-
ture.
• RTS Combined Antenna - tracks L1 and differential
signals from Racal DGPS Satellite systems.
Please refer to the Field Guide for the use of your Leica
Geosystems GS20 equipment.
