ArcPad10 and GPS Analyst issue

GregTurner — Mon, 07 Nov 2011 12:51:01 GMT

when I check data out using ArcPad, collect data, then check it back in I do not have an opportunity to differentially correct using Trimble GPS analyst.... there are no SSF files... is there a setting in GPS Correct that I am not using? or a process that has changed since ArcPad 7 ? any help is appreciated. Trimble will not answer my questions without charging for the service.

Greg,

In order for SSF files to get created during data collection you must be using the Trimble GPScorrect protocol within your GPS Preferences.

What mobile device are you using? And on that particular device, within the GPS Preferences of ArcPad, what are your Protocol, Port and Baud rate set to?

Additionally, which version of ArcPad, ArcGIS Desktop, GPScorrect, and GPS Analyst are you using?

Your data needs to be checked out from a personal geodatabase which has been GPS enabled through the properties of the geodatabase via ArcCatalog (each individual feature class needs to be GPS enabled as well).

In ArcPad > GPS Preferences, you need to be sure you're using the GPScorrect protocol. If you are, the SSF files should get generated automatically upon capture of a new feature.

using a Yuma, gps analyst is the protocol, baud is 4800, bluetooth port 40,
I think I figured it out, by using trimble gps analyst to check the data out instead of ArcPad it seems to work just fine.

is my set up right?

Those seem like appropriate settings. Based upon the bluetooth connection it looks like you're connecting to an external gps. If the baud rate of 4800 gives you any issues, try bumping it up to 9600.

Good luck!
