CHAPTER 7. GIS COLLECTION WITH PINPOINT-GIS OR OTHER APPLICATIONS
7.5.1 Optional: Auto filling of GNSS attributes
One of the great advantages of ArcGIS Online is the power to automatically
fi
ll GNSS
attributes when performing a collection. This allows you to store in your Geo data base
information such as precise height, accuracy error and quality information which is relevant
for many GIS accurate jobs. The auto-
fi
lling is very simply handled by using a speci
fi
c naming
convention in the attributes of your Feature class.
All the following Septentrio SBF blocks are supported for auto
fi
lling within the GIS collection:
Positioning and solution
PVTCartesian, PVTGeodetic, PosCart, PosLocal,
PosProjected, RTCMDatum
Position accuracy error
PosCovGeodetic, PosCovCartesian,
RAIMStatistics, VelCovCartesian,
VelCovGeodetic, DOP
Status information
BatteryStatus*, BluetoothStatus*,
CellularStatus, WiFiClientStatus, ReceiverSetup,
ReceiverStatus, IPStatus, DiffCorrIn*,
MeasEpoch*, WiFiAPStatus
*Note that currently there is no support for sub-block information within some SBF blocks (only the common
fl
ags of the block are auto
fi
lled)
Table 7.5-2:
SBF blocks supported by the Auto
fi
lling of GNSS data
The auto
fi
lling is done by simply creating a GIS attribute which corresponds to the SBF block
and
fi
eld name: <message name>_<
fi
eld name> e.g. DOP_VDOP.
More information about all the
fi
elds of SBF blocks can be found at the Reference guide of
the Altus NR3. It is also possible within the web interface to check the Message inspector
located in the Expert Console menu so that you can visualize the
fi
elds which could be
fi
lled.
Here are some example of attributes and how would they be de
fi
ned in the ArcGIS Online
Feature class.
Field wanted
Attribute name to be added
in your GIS database
Height
PVTGeodetic_Height
Horizontal Accuracy
PVTGeodetic_HAccuracy
Differential Corrections received
DiffCorrIn_Mode
When creating the attributes in ArcGIS Online it is important to consider the
fi
eld type of the
information you want to auto
fi
ll. The following table explains how the type conversions are
done between the GNSS receiver and your GIS database.

Note that the auto-
fi
ll functionality is not available with free Esri ArcGIS public accounts.
