Frequently Asked Questions

Trimble SiteVision supports all of the constellations that the supported receivers/antennas track. For a full list of these, please see the Trimble Catalyst Technologies site.

The SiteVision application displays the type of positioning solution being used under the GNSS menu. These are: Autonomous, RTK Float, RTK Fixed, Differential, RTX, HDRTK, SBAS, RTXCode.

The Trimble Catalyst service monitors the accuracy that your system can achieve from the different signal types and automatically selects and outputs the solution type with best available accuracy.

A network (for example Trimble VRS Now) will be broadcasting coordinates in relation to a global reference frame such as ITRF2014. This is called a Source Reference Frame.

You might be using Trimble SiteVision with Trimble VRS Now, but want your coordinates in relation to a local reference frame which is commonly used for that region, such as NZGD2000. This is called the Target Reference Frame.

When using the Trimble Corrections Hub, you must select the Target Reference Frame that matches the reference frame of your model. The SiteVision application will then apply a real-time datum transformation from ITRF (the default reference frame used by Trimble Corrections Services) to the datum you have selected as your Target Reference Frame.

Yes. Local correction sources such as a 3rd party and government VRS or IBSS networks can be used for the Trimble SiteVision System. 

To use a local correction source, you will need to deselect Trimble Corrections Hub and enter the required information under GNSS Configuration within the Trimble SiteVision application.

No. Your Trimble SiteVision subscription includes bundled access to Trimble VRS Now correction streams where it is available, and worldwide access to Trimble RTX technology.

However, if you are operating outside of a Trimble VRS Now coverage area, you will need a separate local VRS or IBSS delivered correction to achieve optimum results, which may incur additional costs.

No. To use Trimble SiteVision indoors you do not need to have GNSS or be connected to the Trimble Integrated Positioning System (IPS). Please note that the use of SiteVision indoors will not achieve the same accuracies as when used outdoors with high accuracy GNSS.

Yes, Trimble SiteVision supports the Trimble Connect QR Marker extension, and is compatible with the same Markers used by Trimble Connect AR & MR.
