Description
Spectra Precision Survey Pro v6.1 is a legacy surveying and data collection software designed to be used with Spectra Precision and other compatible total stations and GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) receivers
. It was known for its modular structure, which allowed surveyors to purchase only the features they needed. Version 6.1 was an intermediate update that included minor enhancements and fixes following the more significant v6.0.1 release.
Core capabilities
- Coordinate geometry (COGO): The software includes a comprehensive set of routines for performing calculations related to points, lines, and curves.
- Field data collection: It is built for collecting data in the field from both total stations and GNSS receivers.
- Staking and layout: Survey Pro provides advanced routines for staking out points, lines, and complex road layouts.
- Data management and transfer: The software handles the storage, organization, and transfer of survey data between the field controller and office computer. Supported file formats include JOB, RAW1, TXT, CSV, and LandXML.
- Customizable interface: The user interface can be customized to optimize daily workflow and make complex tasks more efficient.
Modular versions and key features
At version 6.1, Survey Pro was offered in several modules, allowing for customized functionality based on a surveyor’s needs.
- Survey Pro Standard: The foundational package, which includes the full COGO suite, along with basic traverse, sideshot, and staking routines.
- Survey Pro (Base): Includes all the functions of the Standard version, plus advanced road layout, more robust staking routines, attribute collection, and Digital Terrain Model (DTM) capabilities.
- Survey Pro GNSS: Adds the ability to collect data from Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) GNSS receivers for centimeter-level accuracy.
- Survey Pro Robotics: Adds support for controlling robotic total stations, allowing for one-person operation and graphical staking displays.
- Survey Pro Max: The top-tier package, combining all the features of the GNSS and Robotics modules for full support of all instruments.
Notable v6.1 enhancements
While v6.0.1 was the more significant update preceding v6.1, the YouTube “Orientation” video for v6.1.1 highlights enhancements that would have been carried forward into v6.1 and later releases. These include:
- A more visual, tap-based interface for selecting features on a map view, improving the ease of calculating areas.
- Advanced “Smart Targets” functionality for quickly switching between different prism and target types.
Software status and compatibility
- Legacy software: Spectra Precision has replaced Survey Pro with newer software, such as Spectra Geospatial Origin.
- File format change: To use Survey Pro v6.0 or newer (including 6.1), older version 5.x files were automatically converted to a new
.survey file format.
- Hardware compatibility: As of its release, v6.1 worked with various Spectra Precision and other brand total stations and GNSS receivers, and it was designed for use on data collectors like the Spectra Precision Ranger and Nomad series
