Introduction to ProMark Field
ProMark Field is a software program designed for general-
purpose land survey applications. ProMark Field runs on
Windows Mobile 6.5.
ProMark Field allows you to determine positions of points
with centimeter precision through one of two types of
projects:
• Post-processed Project: Centimeter-accurate positions for
your surveyed points will be computed at the office by
specific post-processing software (Ashtech GNSS
Solutions) after raw data have been collected in the field.
• Real-time RTK Project: Centimeter-accurate positions for
your surveyed points are determined in real time using the
data sent by a corrections provider to refine all positions
computed from the received satellites.
This means a specific data link needs to be implemented
for the acquisition of these corrections.
Additionally, you can stake out a list of points stored on
the receiver as a job, possibly assisted by built-in voice
guidance. (Alternately, the stakeout function can be used
in all types of projects for navigation purposes.)
You can also determine a local coordinate system (3D
grid) through the calibration function.
Whatever the type of project you choose, ProMark Field will
always require that you first create a job:
• A job is a file in csv format (a standard spreadsheet
format).
• When starting a new project, the job file may be either
empty or holding a list of stakeout points (in that case, the
job file is usually not created from scratch but downloaded
from an office computer). As you progress in your project,
a full description of each of the surveyed points (name,
coordinates, solution status, PDOP, number of satellites
used, etc.) will be saved to the job file.
In a real-time RTK project, the coordinates of all the
surveyed points saved to the job file will feature
centimeter accuracy. In a post-processed project, they will
only be meter accurate.
Points may be logged individually (static or stop & go
surveying), or automatically along a line (trajectory) at a
preset interval of time or distance (continuous kinematic
surveying).
