7


Error message regarding deviation of self-position

When starting PPK logging, it is now possible to issue an error if the XY coordinates of the user's own position are off by >10m.

8


Software updates in one step

For software updates after V9. Even if an OS update is required, the update will be completed with a single reboot.

Updating from V6 to V9 will require 2 Step Power Cycle. One for Software & one for Operating System update. Follow on screen instructions.

9


Added an icon that allows users to start updates at their own discretion

Works with V9 and later. Software updates does not download automatically. Instead, the user is notified that an update is available and the download begins upon user action.

11


CMR Support

CMR distribution is now supported when broadcasting from fixed digital UHF radios.

12

Improved functions

3D accuracy check function. Increased point cloud density around the verification point

Infield 3d accuracy check function.

Tick “Generate point cloud for higher-precision accuracy check.” & import GCP’s for this function.

New Features

Display of storage capacity used by each project & data assets

You can now see how much storage space each project is using

image-20250409-062413.png

Generated, Flight & PPK log data sizes are also displayed.

14

Improved functions

Display only relevant geoid codes

When you select a horizontal coordinate system, only the associated vertical references are displayed

image-20250410-071348.png

*Previously, all vertical references were displayed .

15

Improved functions

IMEI Number Display

IMEI number is now displayed on the settings screen

Improved functions

EPSG Addition

New Zealand EPSG additions

TBA

18

Improved functions

SFM processing for GCP only (only supported for some aircraft)

This is a preliminary function update in consideration of future updates, and will enable SFM processing of GCPs only on ( P4RTK & M3E ). Although we have confirmed the accuracy, unless there is a particular need to process GCPs only, we currently recommend processing with normal PPK/RTK or + GCP on the above models.

20

New Features

Vertical offset notation change

The specifications have been changed to display the accuracy results after offset.

image-20250409-092649.png

21

New Features

Added flow control and transmission interval when streaming from external radio

Flow control ON/OFF and transmission interval items have been added to suit the digital radio used.

For Australia and New Zealand leave it OFF.

Mainly used for Japan UHF Regulations. TBA

22

New Feature

Send photos to SC Cloud SfM for processing

Destination to process drone data can be set to SC Edge or SC Cloud SfM for when larger than 50Ha site data processing are required & can be sent straight from Edge to Cloud SfM (up to 120Ha area size).

SC Cloud SfM a License are required.

Preconfigured parameters should be set for point cloud density (16ppm best practice) & Object remove filter ( 7-10). Orthophoto will be 1cm quality.
