Customer Care
Product (CCP) dates
The SmartWorx Viva software version 3.00 can only be loaded onto CS Field
Controllers which have a CCP date of 01 November 2010 or later.
The GS10/15 Sensor software version 3.00 can be loaded onto all GS10/15
Sensors regardless of the CCP date.
Jobs, Coordinate
Systems, Working
Styles, RTK Profiles
and other objects
All SmartWorx Viva “objects” (such as Jobs, Coordinate Systems, Working
Styles, RTK profiles etc) created or used within previous SmartWorx Viva firm-
ware versions can be used without problems in SmartWorx Viva v3.00
Version compatibility
between CS Field
Controllers and
GS10/15 Sensors
The new v3.00 softwares must be loaded to both the CS Field Controllers and
GS10/15 Sensors.
It is not possible to use a CS Field Controller running earlier SmartWorx Viva
software versions with a GS10/15 Sensor running v3.00 software. Similarly it is
not possible to use a CS Field Controller running SmartWorx Viva v3.00 software
with a GS10/15 Sensor running earlier software.
Ensure v3.00 softwares are loaded to all your CS Field Controllers and
GS10/15 Sensors.
New GS05/06 soft-
ware version
The GS05/06 sensors are “caps” which connect directly to the top of the
GS10/15 Field Controllers (see the SmartWorx Viva v2.10 release notes for de-
tails). A new software version for GS05/06 sensors is now available.
Details on how to load the new GS05/06 software to the sensor is provided to-
wards the end of these release notes.
TS PC drivers
If you like to connect your TS11 or TS15 Total Station to a PC with a USB con-
nection then the TS PC drivers must first be installed.
The TS drivers and installation instructions can be obtained from any SmartWorx
Viva DVD or downloaded from the myWorld web site.

SmartWorx Viva Release Notes v3.00 3/59
SMARTWORX VIVA SOFTWARE IMPROVEMENTS
TS15 Total Stations
TS11 Total Stations
The new TS15 and TS11 Total Stations are now supported within SmartWorx
Viva.
Basically, the TS15 Total Stations are motorised whereas the TS11 Total Sta-
tions are non-motorised.
The TS15 Total Stations are available in 5 different models. The TS11 Total Sta-
tions are available in 2 different models. An overview is given below.
SmartWorx Viva v3.00 runs onboard the TS15 and TS11 Total Stations or can
run on a CS10 or CS15 Field Controller and steer the new Total Stations from
the controller.
In addition to having all other SmartWorx Viva v3.00 functionality, when Smart-
Worx Viva is used on-board a TS Total Station, then the following additional
functionality is available.
CS connection wizard
A CS Field Controller can of course be connected to remotely control a TS Total
Station. This is possible in the following ways
- Using a cable
- Using Bluetooth. All TS Total Stations are equipped with Bluetooth
- A radio handle.
- An external radio connected to the TS Total Station by cable to port 1 of
the TS Total Station.
In order to easily configure the TS Total Station and define how the CS Field
Leica Viva
SmartWorx Viva Release Notes v3.00 4/59
Controller will connect to the TS a new CS connection wizard has been added to
SmartWorx Viva.
Access the CS connection wizard from the main menu using 3 Instrument, 5
Connect to instr.. and then 1 CS connection wizard
Then simply follow the wizard.
Remote control of a TS Total Station using a CS Field Controller
Once a CS Field Controller is controlling the TS Total Station then the screen of
the Total Station clearly states the Total Station is being remotely controlled.
No buttons can be pressed on the Total Station.
However, once survey or any other app is accessed on the CS Field Controller,
the screen on the Total Station changes and the F1(Meas), F2(Dist) and
F3(Store) keys become available.
Leica Viva
SmartWorx Viva Release Notes v3.00 5/59
This is extremely useful when using a CS Field Controller to control the Total
Station and the user has hooked the controller to the leg of the tripod of the Total
Station - maybe to make use of the QWERTY keypad on the CS Field Controller,
or the user has returned to the Total Station to make some reflectorless meas-
urements.
While aiming the Total Station to measure the required points, the user can now
easily press the F1 to F3 keys on the Total Station to make the measurements.
This may be more comfortable then always having to reach around the tripod to
press the keys on the CS Field Controller.
EDM modes and EDM icons
The following EDM modes have been added when using a TS Total Station. The
icon which is shown has also been updated
Mode Recommended to use Icon
Single
When a single measurement with
highest precision is required
No icon
displayed
Single (fast) When a single measurement is re-
quired but the time to survey must
be minimised. The highest accuracy
is of less importance.
Use this mode for example when
performing, “typical” topographical
surveys.
Continuous When continuous distance meas-
urements are required.
Use this mode for example when
continually checking the positions of
a moving prism pole.
Averaging When average values and standard
deviations for multiple precise dis-
Leica Viva
SmartWorx Viva Release Notes v3.00 6/59
tance measurements are required.
Use this mode for example when
performing cadastral survey where
rigid guidelines must be followed.
Continuous+ (previ-
ously called Synchro-
Track)
When continuous distance meas-
urements to moving prisms with the
highest accuracy are required.
Use this mode for example with
machine control applications.
Long range (>4km) When long distances (> 4km) to
prisms are needed.
Use this mode for example for trian-
gulation measurements.
Long range (avg) Whenever long distances (> 4km) to
prisms are needed but in addition,
average values and standard devia-
tions for multiple precise distance
measurements are required.
Use this mode for example when
performing triangulation measure-
ments within a cadastral survey
where rigid guidelines must be fol-
lowed.
Check and Adjust
A check and adjust routine allows the Total Station to be periodically calibrated.
Access the check and adjust routine from the main menu using 4 User and then
5 Check & adjust.
Leica Viva
SmartWorx Viva Release Notes v3.00 7/59
Then simply choose what needs to be calibrated and follow the instructions.
Terminal mode
With System1200 instruments there was a so-called Terminal Mode available.
This basically meant it was possible to steer a TPS1200 Total Station from an
RX controller and the data would be stored to the CF card of the Total Station.
This is no longer possible with the TS Total Stations and CS Field Controllers.
GS12 – Leica Viva
SmartRover
GS08 – Leica Viva
Net Rover
The new GS12 and GS08 sensors are now supported within SmartWorx Viva.
The GS12 and GS08 sensors combined with a CS Field Controller are perfect to
be used as network RTK rovers for all survey and stakeout tasks.
The main differences between the GS12 and GS08 sensors are as follows:

sensor you wish to use.
Leica Viva
SmartWorx Viva Release Notes v3.00 8/59
Note that a screen shot of SmartWorx Viva LT running on a CS10 is shown
above. Remember that it is not possible to select to use a GS08 within Smart-
Worx Viva or within SmartWorx Viva LT running on a CS15.
If changing between GNSS sensor types then SmartWorx Viva will close and
need to be re-started before the GS12 or GS08 sensor can be used.
Logging raw data when using the GS12 and GS08 sensors
Leica MDB and RINEX data can be logged to the CS Field Controller when using
the GS12 and GS08 sensors. It is not possible to log raw data to the GS12 and
GS08 sensors themselves.
Use as an RTK or DGPS base station
It is not possible to use the GS12 and GS08 sensors as RTK or DGPS base
stations.
Streaming NMEA
It is not possible to stream NMEA messages using a GS12 or GS08 sensor.
License keys
When using the GS12 and GS08 sensors the following functionality requires a
license key to be purchased and loaded
GS12 GS08
GPS L5 tracking 782279 Not possible
GLONASS tracking 782278 782270

RINEX raw data logging 782283 782273
Receive Leica Lite RTK messages 782285 782275
All license keys relating to the GS12 and GS08 sensors are stored on the CS
Field Controller. When purchasing any GS12 or GS08 license key, the serial
number of the CS Field Controller must be provided to generate the key.
The GS12 and GS08 license keys are “separate” – this means a GS12 Glonass
license key (for example) allows any GS12 connected to that CS to track Glon-
ass. But it will not allow any GS08 connected to that CS to track Glonass.
The GS12 can also be used with a TS Total Station in a SmartStation setup. In
this case the serial number of the TS Total Station must be provided to generate
the key and the keys are loaded to the TS Total Station.
CS 3.5G Field Con-
trollers
CS15 and CS10 Field Controllers are now available with integrated 3.5G mo-
dems.

The 3.5G modem can be used for any or all of the possible use cases below:
- to receive RTK messages via the Internet
- to receive RTK messages from dialling into a base station
- to transfer data between the field and the office
SmartWorx Viva v3.00 has been updated to support the internal 3.5G modem.
For example, in the RTK rover wizard it is now possible to select this modem as
the device to be used to receive RTK data.
Image Assisted Sur-
veying
Both the new TS Total Stations and CS Field Controllers now have advanced
image assisted surveying functionality.
Before describing the image assisted surveying functionality it is worth describing
what cameras can be used when using TS Total Stations and CS Field Control-
lers.
Equipment being used Cameras which can be used
When using SmartWorx Viva on a
TS Total Station equipped with a
wide-angle camera
The TS wide-angle camera built into
the Total Station can be used to cap-
ture images
When using SmartWorx Viva on a
CS Field Controller with a GS sen-
sor or with a Total Station not
equipped with a wide-angle camera
The CS Field Controller camera can
be used to capture images
When using SmartWorx Viva on a
CS Field Controller with a TS Total
Station equipped with a wide-angle
camera
Both the TS wide-angle camera built
into the Total Station and the CS
Field Controller camera can be used
to capture images.
Images from the TS Total Station are
transferred from the Total Station to
the CS Field Controller and are
Leica Viva
SmartWorx Viva Release Notes v3.00 11/59
stored with all other data being
stored on the CS Field Controller.
Regardless of whether an image is being captured on a TS Total Station or on a
CS camera procedure is the same
- Step 1 - Capture the image
- Step 2 - Review the image and sketch on the image if desired
- Step 3 – Store and link the image
Additionally, all stored images can be viewed within data management and ex-
ported
Image assisted sur-
veying
Step 1 - Capture
First, the capturing of images will be described.
It is possible to capture images in the following ways
- Within the Survey, Setup and Ref plane and grid scan apps the Camera
page tab is available (only when using the wide-angle camera on a Total
Station)
- At any time using the Capture Image with Camera panel (possible with
both the wide-angle camera on a Total Station and the camera in the CS
Field Controller)
- Creating screen shots (always possible on any TS Total Station (regard-
less of whether equipped with a wide-angle camera or not) and CS Field
Controller)
- Using the Sketch pad
Capturing images within the Survey, Setup and Ref plane and grid scan
apps
When working with SmartWorx Viva on a TS Total Station or when working with
a CS Field Controller connected to a TS Total Station then images from the wide-
angle Total Station camera can be captured.
The advantage of having the Camera page tab in an app is that points can still
be measured while seeing what the total station can see – for example, when
measuring points using reflectorless measurements.
Leica Viva
SmartWorx Viva Release Notes v3.00 12/59
An image can be captured at any time by pressing the F4(Cpture) button. It is also possible to configure the software that for every point which is stored an image should automatically be captured. To do this, access the Wide-Angle Camera Settings panel. This can be accessed from the main menu using 3 In-strument and then 2 TPS Camera settings or by accessing the second level toolbar in the Camera page tab of the screen shown above and pressing the Camera setting toolbar button.
In the Image documentation page tab as shown above, the settings can be made to allow an image to be automatically captured with every measurement made with the TS Total Station. Additionally, it can be configured if the image should be automatically linked to the point which was just measured. It can also be configured if the cross-hairs should be stored on the image.
Capturing images using the Capture Image with Camera panel
Images can also be captured at any time from anywhere within SmartWorx Viva.
This includes using the wide-angle camera on a TS Total Station or using the
Leica Viva
SmartWorx Viva Release Notes v3.00 13/59
camera on the back of any CS Field Controller.
The Capture Image with Camera panel can be accessed at any time using any of the following methods
- Tapping the Camera icon in the icon bar at the top of the screen - Tapping the camera option in the Leica GPS Favourites or Leica TPS
Favourites panel (tap the most-left icon in the icon bar at the top of the screen)
- Configuring a Hot Key or User Favourites option to include the User – Use Camera option
Capturing images by Creating Screen Shots
It is possible at any time from anywhere within SmartWorx Viva to create a
“screen shot”.
A screen shot is basically an image of the screen currently being shown within
SmartWorx Viva.
There are many example for when this could be useful
- When wishing to capture a map view and sketch on top of the map (see
later for information on sketching
- When wishing to capture an error or warning message which appeared
and needs to be reported to support
- When wishing to capture a screen when staking out a point to later prove it
was staked correctly
- plus many other reasons…
Leica Viva
SmartWorx Viva Release Notes v3.00 14/59
A screen can be captured using any of the following methods
- Holding down the green Fn key and at the same time pressing the . (deci-mal point) key.
- Configuring a Hot Key option to include the User – Screenshot capture option
Image assisted sur-
veying
Step 2 - Sketch
Once an image has been captured (either Automatically from within an app,
using the Capture Image with Camera panel or Creating a screen shot) then
the Image Notes panel is visible. It is then possible to view the image before
storing, or sketch on the image if desired and then store.
To start sketching on an image, first tap the sketch icon in the toolbar and then
sketch!
Note that at any time the image can be zoomed in and out, window zoomed and fit to screen at any time When sketching the sketching toolbar appears on the right.
Leica Viva
SmartWorx Viva Release Notes v3.00 15/59
This allows the line style, line colour and line thickness to be selected. There is also an undo button to correct any mistakes.
Capturing images using the Sketch Pad
Note that it is also possible at any time within SmartWorx Viva to use the sketch
pad – basically sketch on a “blank piece of paper”.
The Sketch pad functionality can be accessed at any time using any of the fol-lowing methods
- Tapping the Sketch pad option in the Leica GPS Favourites or Leica TPS Favourites panel (tap the most-left icon in the icon bar at the top of the screen)
- Configuring a Hot Key or User Favourites option to include the User –
Sketch pad option
Sketching – whether on captured images or not - can be incredibly for useful for
any number of reasons – simply look at the examples below.
Example 1: Sketching on a image captured with the TS wide-angle camera
Leica Viva
SmartWorx Viva Release Notes v3.00 16/59
Example 2: Sketching on a image captured with the CS camera (this time using
a CS10)
Example 3: Sketching on a screen shot taken from within map view
Leica Viva
SmartWorx Viva Release Notes v3.00 17/59
Example 4: Sketching with the sketch pad
Image assisted sur-
veying
Step 3 – Link
Once the image and/or sketching has been reviewed, the image can be stored by pressing the F1(Store) button. A Confirmation message box will appear.
It is possible to choose if the image should be stored with an object (point, line or area) already stored to the job. It can be useful to link an image not only to a point object, but also to a line or area object. Imagine taking an image of a fence line or pond which has just been surveyed and linking it to that line or area object.
Image assisted sur-
veying
View all stored im-
ages within data
management
The existing data management panel has been extended to support the new
imaging functionality.
An new page tab called Images has been added – this lists all images which are
stored in that job.
Leica Viva
SmartWorx Viva Release Notes v3.00 18/59
Press F2(Link) to link the highlighted image to a point, line or area object. Each image can be linked to more than one object. Also, each object can have more than one image linked to it. Press F3(View) to view the highlighted image – more sketching can then be done on the image if needed. Additionally, when editing a point, line or area object then the new Images page tab is also available. If the object being edited has images linked to that object then these images are listed. In the example below, the point TPS0005 has 2 images linked to it.
Press F2(New) to capture a new image. Press F3(View) to view the highlighted image – more sketching can then be done on the image if needed. Press Fn and then F3(Unlink) to unlink the image from the object – the image is not deleted, simply “unlinked”

Exporting image
related data
Imaging related data can be exported in the following ways
- Exported as part of a dxf file
- Exported as part of an xml file
- Exported as part of an ASCII file using Format Files
Dxf Export
In order to export images within exported dxf data ensure the Images check box
is ticked in the Configuration panel of dxf export.
Links are made within the exported dxf file relating to the images which were
stored within the job being exported.
The .dxf file is created in the Data folder of the chosen memory device. The re-
lated images are exported to a sub-folder of the same name as the .dxf file in the
Data folder.
Within AutoCAD, when the mouse moves over an object with an image related to
that object then pressing CTRL and clicking with the mouse will open the related
image in the Internet browser.
Leica Viva
SmartWorx Viva Release Notes v3.00 20/59
Xml Export
In order to export images within exported xml data ensure the Images check box
is ticked in the Configuration panel of xml export.
Image information is then exported within the xml file.
Format files
The Format Manager software within LGO v8 has been extended with 2 new
data blocks.
The Images block allows data relating to the image to be exported such as the
time and date the image was stored and the image name. If the image was cap-
tured using the TS wide-angle camera then information relating to the projection
centre and horizontal and vertical angle of the instrument when the image was
captured can also be exported.
The Wide-angle Camera Calibration block allows information such as the focal
length and pixel size for images captured using the TS wide-angle camera to be
exported.
Exporting data using format files could then be used for example to import im-
ages captured using the TS wide-angle camera to be exported into photogram-
metric software.

Additional informa-
tion
This section includes additional information which may be useful to know when
using imaging and sketching functionality.
Cross-hairs
When using the wide-angle camera on a TS Total Station, then the cross-hair
shape will change depending on whether a distance has been measured or not.
If a distance has not been measured then the cross hairs appear as above – with a large circle which indicates the true position of the cross hairs relative to the image is not exactly known.
Once a distance has been measured then the cross hairs appear as above – with a cross only which indicates the true position of the cross hairs relative to the image is now exactly known.
Tap and Turn
When using the TS wide-angle camera, then the “tap and turn“ functionality can
be used.
Leica Viva
SmartWorx Viva Release Notes v3.00 22/59
This means that at any time, tapping on the image will turn the Total Station to
the position which was just tapped.
This is particularly useful when used in conjunction with automatic target aiming
– simply tap on the image where the prism is approximately located and the in-
strument will turn to the approximate prism location. Now press F1(Meas) or
F2(Dist) and since the prism is likely to now be in the field of view of automatic
targeting, the prism will be found very quickly.
Zooming of TS camera
When using the TS wide-angle camera then it is possible to zoom in and out –
there are 3 levels of zoom.
It is also possible to fit the image if you had been previously zoomed in.
Zooming in and out and fitting is done using the toolbar on the right hand side of
the screen
TS wide-angle camera settings
There are a number of configuration settings to be aware of when using the TS
wide-angle camera. These are “general” settings relating to the camera “hard-
ware” itself.
To change these settings access the Wide-angle camera settings panel – TS
wide-angle page tab (access this panel from the main menu using 3 Instrument
and then 2 TPS Camera settings)
Leica Viva
SmartWorx Viva Release Notes v3.00 23/59
The Use wide-angle camera setting allows the wide-angle camera to be turned off. This will hide the Camera page tab within survey, setup and other apps where the use of the wide-angle camera is possible. It will also save battery power on the TS. The Resolution setting defines how many pixels will be in the image. If storage space on the memory device is critical then adjust this setting.
The White balance setting adjusts the quality of the image when being used in different environments.
The Image quality setting adjusts the quality of the image when being used in different environments.
Camera view settings
When using the TS wide-angle camera it also possible to adjust the “camera
view” settings. These are settings relating to the use of the wide-angle camera
within survey and other apps.
To access the panel, tap the top toolbar button on the top of the second level
toolbar when using the TS wide-angle camera or press Fn and then F2(Config).
Leica Viva
SmartWorx Viva Release Notes v3.00 24/59
This then accesses the Camera View Settings panel.
Here it can be configured if the TS wide-angle camera toolbar and/or crosshairs should be visible and the colour of the crosshairs.

.dxf files – Import of height information
When previously importing entities from a .dxf file attached to a job, the height
information relating to the entities was ignored.
Leica Viva
SmartWorx Viva Release Notes v3.00 25/59
Now the height information is imported – this means entities from a 3D .dxf file
can be fully imported including the heights.
.dxf files – Support of additional entities
Additional entities are now supported and can be imported. The full list of sup-
ported entities is given below

Spirals Newly supported in SmartWorx Viva v3.00
Helixes Newly supported in SmartWorx Viva v3.00
Shape file support
The viewing of shape files and importing points, lines and areas is now sup-
ported.
Shape files are attached and handled in the same way as .dxf files.
Leica Viva
SmartWorx Viva Release Notes v3.00 26/59
For shape files only the spatial information is used. This means the height is
imported only if it is stored in the spatial data, while the attributes are not consid-
ered.
The .prj file is optional. If the shape files have .prj files then there is a check
whether the coordinates are Grid or Geodetic. Geodetic coordinates or coordi-
nate system transformations are not supported. If there is no .prj file or the coor-
dinates are Grid, the shape file is attached assuming the shape file has the same
coordinate system as the current job.
Units handling
Until now the .dxf files were attached and imported with the same units as con-
figured in the System Settings panel.
It is now possible to attach .dxf files and shape files with different units for each
file.

Additional linework
hot-key / user fa-
vourite options
Two new hot keys and user favourite options relating to linework have been
added
- Add point to end of line/area
- Add point to start of line/area
These keys can be used to add additional points which have been already
measured and stored to the job to the start or end of lines and areas.

Height information
from RTCM v3 RTK
messages
SmartWorx Viva v3.00 now supports the height residuals received in RTCM v3.x messages 1023 & 1024. All height residuals are treated as geoid separation values and are written into a geoid (.gem) file. As the rover moves, the RTK network provider will send additional residuals when required, and over time (and space) the geoid file is dynamically updated, and therefore will slowly grow. This Geoid file can also be imported and used in LGO.
New RTK devices
and related settings
The following new RTK devices are supported:
Leica Viva
SmartWorx Viva Release Notes v3.00 30/59
SLR5
The SLR5 is a slot-in Satelline radio for use with GS15 sensors. It is a receive /
transmit (RX/TX) radio which means it can be used with an RTK rover or RTK
base station.
The radio’s frequency band is fully programmable between 403 and 470 MHz by
using the Satelline Configuration manager - the latest version can be
downloaded from: http://www.SATEL.com/downloads/software/
The SLR5 is compatible with the existing SLR1 (TX) and SLR2 (RX) slot-in Satel-
line radios, to all GFU14 and GFU27 Satelline radios, and to all Pacific Crest
ADL and PDL radios.
GFU27
The GFU27 is basically the same as the SLR5 – a RX/TX Satelline radio - but in
a GFU housing suitable for use with GS10 sensors.
GFU28
The GFU28 is basically the same as the existing Telit SLG1 modem – a 5-band
3.5G modem, but in a GFU housing suitable for use with GS10 sensors.
When using the GFU28 device in a 3.5G network it is required to use the new
GAT18 Antenna - a 5 band external GSM/UMTS Antenna.
SLG3
The SLG3 slot-in Device is a Telit UC864 K 3.5 G HDSPA module for use in
Korea using the “SK telecom” telecommunication network. This device will not
operate in regions outside of Korea.
SLC1
The SLC1 is a CDMA modem for use in “Sprint” telecommunication network in
North America and will not operate on other networks.
The initial registration and activation into “Sprint” network is done automatically
over the air as soon the device is powered the first time and a Sprint network is
available.
If the initial registration fails, the registration can be executed as well manually
using the FN F3(Reg) button in the CDMA Connection panel.
Leica Viva
SmartWorx Viva Release Notes v3.00 31/59
Changes to radio
settings
The following changes have been made when using radio devices:
Changing radio channels
The changing of radio channels is made in the RTK rover wizard or in the Radio
Configuration panel.
Previously, the radio channel was only changed when the panel was exited using
F1(Next) or F1(OK).
Now the radio channel is changes after pressing Enter when entering the radio
channel in the Channel input field.
Switching to Pac Crest mode
It is possible to switch the following SATEL radios into Pac Crest mode and set
the modulation type.
- SLR1
- SLR2
- SLR5
- GFU27
Note that this is only possible in the Radio Configuration panel and not within
the RTK rover wizard.
For the SLR1 and SLR2 radios, firmware version v06.12.3.39 or greater must be
Leica Viva
SmartWorx Viva Release Notes v3.00 32/59
installed on the radio.
This can be checked by inserting the radio into the GS15, configuring to use that
radio and then accessing the RTK Data Link Status panel, Device page tab (tap
the RTK icon)
Auto connect set-
tings
The auto-connect options when receiving RTK corrections via the Internet or
using a dial-up connection to a single base station have been extended.
Previously it was always possible to configure the system to automatically con-
nect and receive RTK corrections only when F1(Meas) was pressed – only then
would RTK data be streamed to the RTK rover. This was useful when minimising
the time the rover was receiving RTK data in order to minimise Internet connec-
tion or dial-up costs.
A second automatically connect option has now also been added – the Turned
on option.
Leica Viva
SmartWorx Viva Release Notes v3.00 33/59
This option has been added for the following use case. A GS10/15 sensor is
mounted on a boat (for example) which has already been configured by the CS
to receive RTK via the Internet (and stream the RTK positions as NMEA to a 3rd
party hydrographic software).
Previously however, it was always needed at the start of each day to connect a
CS Field Controller to the GS10/15 sensor in order to press F4(Conect) to allow
the GS10/15 to receive RTK corrections.
Now the new automatically connect option can be selected when initially config-
uring the GS10/15 sensor with the CS Field Controller.
Now at the start of each day, the operator need only press the On button of the
GS10/15 sensor. The GS10/15 will now automatically connect and start to re-
ceive RTK corrections – it is no longer needed to connect the CS Field Controller
to the GS10/15.
RoadRunner app
A number of new features have been added to the RoadRunner app.
Viewing of all layers
All layers of the alignment job (Road, Rail or Tunnel) can now be displayed in
cross-section view.
To view all layers, access the Map View Settings panel where the new Align-
ments page tab can be found.
Leica Viva
SmartWorx Viva Release Notes v3.00 34/59
All map view settings relating to alignments tab are now found here.
Project scale factors
When accessing a measurement panel a message line will appear if a project
scale factor has been applied in the Road Configuration.
This is simply to remind a user that a scale factor is being used.
Camber (super-elevation) information
When using the Cross-Slope method of working, in the Info page, the camber
(superelevation) information can be displayed and is stored in the working job.
Leica Viva
SmartWorx Viva Release Notes v3.00 35/59
New chainage format
A new chainage format has been added. The new format is “Peg orientated” and
mainly used in South America. This can be selected in the Regional Settings
panel.
In this format, a peg distance is used to calculate a peg number and determine
what additional value is shown next to it.
For example, at chainage of 100 m and a peg distance of 20 m, the peg number
equals 5 (100/20 = 5).
Chainage 100 m = 5 + 0.000 Chainage 110 m = 5 + 10.000
Chainage -100 m = -5 - 0.000 Chainage -90 m = -4 -10.000
RoadRunner Rail
app
The Rail Check app now also supports the possibility to handle Measured cant
values when using an external camber measurement device.
The Measured cant value of the inclination sensor can be entered in Check
Track and is stored in the working job and used for cant difference calculations.
RoadRunner Tunnel
app
The Tunnel app has been given a new workflow making it much easier to use
and includes new functionality.
Leica Viva
SmartWorx Viva Release Notes v3.00 36/59
Each step towards getting started is made clear and easy.
There are now more possibilities to define a scan area and previous restrictions
have been removed. For example scan areas along the tunnel alignment can be
defined which are entirely before the station chainage or entirely after the station
chainage. Previously, scanning from/to the actual station chainage was a must.
An additional function to enter a Temporary scan interval allows the user to
pause a scan and change the regularity of points measured around the profile.
This can be useful when an area needs to be immediately scanned in more or
less detail. The scan be paused a second time to turn off the Temporary scan
interval or this will happen automatically after the define area has been com-
pleted.
New Info page items for Centreline Offset and Height Difference are now also
calculated to the rotated profile.
Leica Viva
SmartWorx Viva Release Notes v3.00 37/59
RoadRunner Im-
porter App
The Import RoadRunner Data app already allows the following road data for-
mats to be imported:
• DXF
• LandXML
• MxGenio
With SmartWorx Viva v3.00 the following formats are now also supported
• Trimble Terramodel
• Carlson SurvCE
With Carlson SurvCE data the following should be known:
Horizontal alignment: Carlson CL files (*.CL) - mandatory
Vertical Alignment: Carlson Profile file ( *.PRO)
Section File: Carlson cross-section file (*.SCT)
With Trimble Terramodel data the following should be known:
Horizontal alignment: Centerline file (*.xml) - mandatory
Section File: ASCII file (*.txt)
Depending on the Export settings in Terramodel the ASCII cross-section file can
be trimmed or untrimmed and might include a header.
Example Terramodel cross-section file (including vertices names):

SmartWorx Viva Release Notes v3.00 38/59
Ref plane & grid
scan app
Ref plane & grid scan is the new name for the “old” Reference plane app
which was previously available.
The new Ref plane & grid scan app has been very much simplified in its use
and new functionality has been added – now an extremely powerful and useful
app.
The new app is found in the Survey+ menu of Go to Work!
After starting the app, the first thing to decide is to choose the correct task. The
following tasks are possible
- Measure points relative to a planar surface (reference plane)
- Grid scan relative to a planar surface (reference plane)
- Grid scan any surface
Measure points relative to a planar surface (reference plane)
Leica Viva
SmartWorx Viva Release Notes v3.00 39/59
This allows individual points to be measured relative to a plane surface. This is useful for when wishing to check the position of individual and specific points (already measured or to be measured) relative to a defined plane. This may be useful when the position of points relative to a plane surface (such as a car park, a tennis court or building facade) need to be known.
Grid scan any surface
This allows any surface to be scanned with a regular grid of points. This is perfect for quickly measuring a lot of points on a stock pile for example or scanning a quarry wall.
Grid scan a regular grid on a planar surface (reference plane)
Leica Viva
SmartWorx Viva Release Notes v3.00 40/59
This allows a plane surface to be scanned with a regular grid of points. This is perfect for quickly measuring a lot of points on the face of a building for example The main difference between Grid scan on surface and Grid scan on plane is as follows. When using Grid scan on plane, a plane has to be defined and the offset of all scanned points relative to the plane will be stored and can later be exported.
Additional notes on grid scanning When performing a grid scan (either relative to a plane or to any surface) the following may also be useful to know.
- Defining the boundary to be scanned: It is possible to choose if a rectangular area or polygonal area should be scanned.
Typically when grid scanning a stock pile, it makes more sense to define a po-lygonal area – then only points within the polygon will be scanned. Typically when grid scanning a quarry wall, it may make more sense to define a simple rectangular area.
- Defining the grid to be scanned (grid scan spacing): When grid scanning any surface it is possible to define if the grid spacing should
Leica Viva
SmartWorx Viva Release Notes v3.00 41/59
be defined using angles or distances.
If defining the spacing by distances then the approximate distance to the surface being scanned needs to be entered (or can be measured using the F2(Dist) but-ton) When grid scanning a plane the grid size can be entered – this is the left/right and up/down spacing of the points on the reference plane. Up/down and left/right is related to the fall line of the reference plane.
- Grid scanning the boundary In the above panels note that is also possible to define if the boundary of the defined scan area should also be grid scanned.
- Grid scan speed It is also possible to choose the speed and accuracy with which the grid will be scanned. This option is only available for the TS15. If the instrument is not a TS15, the Standard option is automatically chosen.
Leica Viva
SmartWorx Viva Release Notes v3.00 42/59
If the time taken to perform the scan needs to be minimised then choose the
Fast option.
If maximum accuracy is required then choose the Standard option.
- Pausing the grid scan
Once started, it is easily possible to pause or stop the grid scan
Note also that while scanning it is also possible to take images with the camera
and see a plot of the points being scanned.
- Using the Ref plane and grid scan app with GS sensors
It is possible to use the Ref plane and grid scan app with GS sensors – although it is only possible to measure points to a plane.
Leica Viva
SmartWorx Viva Release Notes v3.00 43/59
This may still be useful when the position of points relative to a plane surface (such as a car park) need to be known and using GPS.
Volume calculations
app
The Volume calculations app has been extended to make use of the new Ref
plane and grid scan functionality described above.
The new option Create a new surface by using grid scan allows surfaces to be quickly scanned as described above.
This is perfect for the surveying of stock piles for example.
Sets of Angles app
The Sets of Angles applications has been improved with the following new func-
tionality.
- Re-measure functionality
In the Configuration panel of Sets, there is a new page tab called Advanced which includes the Re-measure functionality. There are 3 options available: Never, Automatic and Manual
Leica Viva
SmartWorx Viva Release Notes v3.00 44/59
Never: If point cannot be measured, the instrument moves to the next point to be
measured.
Automatically: If point cannot be measured, the automatic target aiming
switches automatically to the rain & fog option (if good was chosen before) or to
good (if rain & fog was chosen before. In other words it tries to re-measure in
case the conditions had changed.
If the target still cannot be measured, the instrument moves to the next point to
be measured.
Manually: If point cannot be measured automatically, the instrument stops and
the measurements must be manually made by the user.
- Support of “Ultra fine aiming” and visibility “Rain & Fog”
The settings Ultra fine aiming and Rain & Fog are remembered when creating a point list and used later when each individual target is measured.
- Method how to measure a set can be changed after choosing a point
list The method how to measure a set can now be changed after selecting a point list but before measuring the first set.
- Measurement method is shown in the panel “Measure sets” The measurement method is shown now in the “Measure Sets” panel. This helps to remind the user of the actual measurement method being used.
Leica Viva
SmartWorx Viva Release Notes v3.00 45/59
- New calculation of the resulting points (control triplet) Once the sets of angles are completed and all measurements made then the resulting coordinates for each target point is computed. The way the resulting points are computed has been changed. The resulting points are now computed from all measured angle and distance results which were measured within the Sets of Angles application. That is, the resulting coordinates are calculated based on the mean angles and distances. The resulting computed points are then stored as control triplets. The averaging flag within the individual measurements is set to “No” which means no averaging triplet is computed. The control triplets are the “resulting coordinates” from the measured targets. Note, a prefix or suffix has to be added to the points.
The advantages for using control triplets for the resulting coordinates are as fol-lows:
- The control newly calculated points get a highest point class and can been seen in the point list if the filter is set to highest class.
Leica Viva
SmartWorx Viva Release Notes v3.00 46/59
- by adding a prefix/suffix to the control triplet, they are not used in further adjustments (e.g. in LGO). For further adjustments in LGO, the measure-ments are used.
- for e.g. monitoring the same points several times, the resulting points can be distinguished by different naming (prefix/suffix)
COGO Calculators
Three COGO calculator tools have been added to the COGO app
- Angle calculator
- Horizontal curve calc
- Triangle calculator
These calculator tools allow simple calculations to be made which may be useful when checking site plans for example.
Stake alignment
Within the Stake to Ref Line app, it is possible to Stake alignment.
It is possible to create a log file and export data which was stored when using the
stake alignment functionality using a format file.
With SmartWorx Viva v3.00 it is needed to use a format file which was created in
LGO v8.00 or above. Data relating to Stake alignment will not be exported if
using a format file in LGO versions prior to LGO v8.00.
All other apps
Although no changes have been made to any other SmartWorx Viva App,
the new v3.00 Apps must be loaded to work with the SmartWorx Viva v3.00
software.
Older version Apps cannot be used with the v3.00 SmartWorx Viva soft-
ware.
Language files
The new v3.00 language files must be loaded to work with the new SmartWorx
Viva software v3.00.
KNOWN ISSUES RESOLVED WITHIN SMARTWORX VIVA SOFTWARE
Leica Viva
SmartWorx Viva Release Notes v3.00 47/59
The following issues which were present in SmartWorx Viva v2.10 have been resolved within Smart-
Worx Viva software v3.00.
Language issue
With SmartWorx Viva software v2.10 there was a problem when using any lan-
guage other then English loaded to the CS Field Controller.
If when using that language needed, in any screen within SmartWorx Viva a
scroll bar was needed when it was not needed in the English language then
SmartWorx Viva would cause an unexpected application error and would shut
down.
This is now solved with SmartWorx Viva v3.00
Licensing issue
With SmartWorx Viva software v2.10, the license information passed from a
GS10/15 sensor to the CS Field Controller was not updated on connection be-
tween the CS Field Controller and the GS10/15 sensor.
This could cause problems when using one CS Field Controller with a pair of
GS10/15 sensors where different license keys were loaded to the GS10/15 sen-
sors.
Image the following case. One GS sensor has only the RTK base license key
loaded (no RTK rover related license keys loaded) and the other GS sensor has
only RTK rover license keys loaded (no RTK base license keys loaded).
When the CS Field Controller was connected to the RTK base GS sensor after
having been connected to the RTK rover sensor then it would not be possible to
use the RTK base GS sensor as an RTK base because the CS Field Controller
still retained the license keys from the RTK rover GS sensor which did not in-
clude the RTK base license.
This is now solved with SmartWorx Viva v3.00
Raw data logging
issues
With SmartWorx Viva software v2.10, there were the following raw data logging
related issues.
When using a GS10/15 sensor with a CS Field Controller and logging raw data
then the following issues could occasionally occur.
- not all raw data would be imported into LGO
- not all rover related information (such as antenna heights) would be ex-
ported when exporting data from the CS Field Controller.
This is now solved with SmartWorx Viva v3.00
Transmitting CMR+
from a GS Base
With SmartWorx Viva software v2.10, there was an issue when transmitting
CMR+ corrections from a GS Base Sensor.
Leica Viva
SmartWorx Viva Release Notes v3.00 48/59
On rare occasions the CMR+ correction messages would transmit incomplete
base sensor information. This has been solved in SmartWorx Viva v3.00.
GS10/15 SENSOR SOFTWARE IMPROVEMENTS
The following changes were made to the software which is loaded to GS10/15 sensors.
SmartCheck+
enhancements
With SmartWorx Viva software v3.00 enhancements have been made in Smart-
Check+.
The GNSS RTK performance has been further improved when working in heavy
canopy environments.
SmartRTK
enhancements
SmartWorx Viva v3.00 introduces an enhanced performance in SmartRTK.
Now SmartRTK has an enhanced behaviour for recognising base sensors from
other manufacturers to further improve GNSS RTK performance.
