Chapter 1 Introduction - Thales Z-Max Operation And Application Manual

Introduction
Try to imagine a GPS surveying system that is accurate, reliable and easy to operate.
A professional measurement system that integrates mechanical flexibility, state-of-
the-art wireless technology and innovative application software. We did, and then we
built it! Thales Navigation is proud to introduce the Z-Max Surveying System (Figure
1.1). Because we're surveyors too, we understand how frustrating it is to get out to a
job site only to find that a failed, missing, or incorrect part of the system causes down-
time. We designed a system which reduces the number and complexity of
components required for GPS surveying. We improved the performance in critical
areas such as RTK, weight and power consumption. We added software functionality
and workflow efficiencies drawn from years of surveying experience. The result is the
Z-Max Surveying System. The Z-Max system is designed to meet the needs and
requirements of land surveyors involved in demanding applications including:
topography, construction, mining and oil exploration. The Z-Max system is perfect for
any surveying application that requires both high precision and high productivity.
