November 15, 2004 - Leica Geosystems today announced the introduction of the SR20, a single-channel GPS receiver for surveying applications.
The flexible SR20 is ideal for a variety of common tasks, including control surveys, topographical data collection, monument location, GPS networks, asset management and GIS data collection.
The SR20 incorporates a 12-channel L1 GPS engine that delivers centimeter-level accuracy in post-processing mode. With tracking features such as MaxAccuracy, MaxTrak and HyperTrak, the SR20 is able to achieve the best possible accuracy in all GPS conditions. The system can be used for real-time sub-meter accuracy utilizing satellite-based augmentation systems such as WAAS and EGNOS, and can also be upgraded to receive real-time RTCM data from U.S. Coast Guard beacon stations.
Packaged with the powerful LEICA Geo Office software, the system provides powerful post-processing and analysis. This user-friendly software provides everything required for managing, visualizing, processing, importing and exporting SR20 GPS data.
The SR20 can be configured as a reference station, static and kinematic receiver or navigator to locate monuments. It can be upgraded with the GS20 software for feature and attribute GIS data collection. The functionality can also be expanded by connecting to external devices via serial data or Bluetooth wireless interface. The system includes useful features such as COGO and one-step transformation.
Equipped with a high-resolution display, the SR20 can be used in all light conditions. A mobile-phone styled keyboard provides intuitive data entry.
