SCS900 v3.1

I want to give a shout out to my friend Justin since he is the one who pointed to me that a new version of SCS900 is out. This time it is v3.1. I have to confess I did not follow the SCS900 v3 at all since I do not own it yet.  Here are the release notes for your information.

New features and functions

Set up Trimble SPS Universal Total Station for Machine Control
You can now set up a Trimble Universal Total Station with the Trimble GCS900 Grade Control System. After a station has been established, you can set a search window and create a machine list for the UTS sharing function.

Stockpile Scanning
A stockpile scanning function has been added to this version, which enables stockpiles for volume calculations to be measured using the DR scanning functionality of a SPS total station. The 3 Hz high‐speed scanning mode is only available with Trimble Universal Total Stations.

Additional Volume & COGO features
The remaining functions to create points and arcs for in‐field design as well as the possibility to create surface contours have been added back to the Volume & COGO menu.
Instrument calibration function for Construction Total Stations
This version now contains an SPS total station calibration function to calibrate instrument errors. Trimble recommend that you regularly use this function to ensure that the accuracy of the equipment is really achieved.

Remote Assistant
If you are running the SCS900 software on a TSC3 controller, you can now allow establish a remote connection to a controller with Internet connection in the field. Trimble Remote Assistant enables personnel in the head office to support and train staff in the field more quickly and easily. A Connected Community device license is required to be able to use this service.

Active fields in info bar for horizontal and vertical design offsets
Active fields for horizontal and vertical design offsets have been added to the info bar. You can now easily see if a design offset was applied and change the offset value with a single tap on the value in the info bar.

Improving stake out report design
The stake out report layout has been improved. The software now remembers if you viewed the stake out diagram or the stake out report for the previous points so that after staking the next point, the preferred tab of the stake out report is automatically shown.

Fixed CSV export
The CSV export of measured data in the SCS900 software when using semicolon and comma in the regional settings of the controller has been improved.

Improved coordinate system support
This version now supports the snake grid projection in the United Kingdom.
