Trimble TSC3 Field Controller Data
Collector
The Trimble® TSC3 controller with Trimble Access™ software is a
groundbreaking handheld field computing solution that streamlines the
flow of everyday surveying work and the number of devices you need in
the field.
A Powerful engine for Driving Trimble
Access Software
Part of a trusted line of field controllers, the Trimble TSC3
controller is rugged and designed for surveyor’s workflows. It performs
Trimble Access operations fast and delivers ample power to run
third-party applications on the Windows® platform.
Make Pictures an essential part of
your workflow
With a built-in 5 MP Autofocus camera and LED flash, you can
take digital photographs of your job site right from the controller. No
extra devices, batteries, or file transfers are required, and images
are automatically geotagged for easy identification.
Easily record the qualitative information that survey data alone can
miss, such as site conditions or work progress. The benefits of
including images as part of your workflow are almost limitless: from
easy data handover to in-field quality assurance.
Communications that bridge field and
office in real-time
The TSC3 controller enables wireless Internet connectivity through an
integrated GSM/GPRS modem. This allows Trimble Access software to
facilitate a constant flow of information between field and office,
including real-time synchronization of field and office data with
Trimble AccessSync software. You can download and upload important
files any time and from anywhere, as needed. Data collection,
processing, analysis, and delivery are faster and more efficient.
A wealth of communication options let you transfer critical information
no matter the environment: Connect with VRS™ connections using the
internal modem. Access your office network through 802.11 LAN, or USB
and serial RS232 communication options.
For all of your surveying applications
The rugged TSC3 controller is purpose-built to make both Integrated
Surveying and Spatial Imaging jobs easier, more efficient, and more
flexible:
- Easy-to-use interface
- Control your survey and verify your work on the large,
bright, high-resolution LCD touchscreen. With the option of a QWERTY or
conventional alphanumeric keyboard, data entry is quick and easy.
- An internal compass
- Receive direction cues even when you are stationary or moving
backwards.
- Integrated GPS
- Employ GPS Search on a conventional survey without an
external GPS receiver. You can also navigate and find control points
and other assets quickly.
- Cables eliminated
- Bluetooth® wireless technology eliminates cables in surveying
systems.
Designed to Support your daily workflow
Trimble Access field software available on the TSC3 controller offers
numerous features and capabilities to streamline the flow of everyday
surveying work. Streamlined workflows – such as Roads, Monitoring,
Mines, and Tunnels —guide crews through common project types and allows
crews to get the job done faster with less distractions.
Survey companies can also implement their unique workflows by taking
advantage of the customization capabilities available in the Trimble
Access Software Development Kit (SDK). The Trimble Access SDK provides
software developers with the tools to customize and extend Trimble
Access.
With a bright, daylight readable display, integrated communications,
and integrated survey workflows, the fully integrated TSC3 controller
will make your field work more efficient.
