Article: Sodex Mobile: GNSS Receiver Management

Summary

The GNSS Receiver Management page in Sodex Mobile gives you one place to review the connected SDX-PocketScan receiver before or during field work. You can use it to confirm the active license, GNSS quality, tilt-compensation status, battery condition, and device details.

If no receiver is connected, the page does not show live receiver values in these sections.

Introduction

You open GNSS Receiver Management from the GNSS tile in the status bar on the SDX-Pole or 3D Scan pages. The page is meant for quick checks while you work in the field, so you can confirm that the receiver is connected, reporting position data, and ready for the workflow you want to use.

The page is organized into five sections:

• License
• GNSS Position
• Tilt Compensation
• Battery
• Device information

Prerequisites

• You are signed in to Sodex Mobile.
• A compatible SDX-PocketScan receiver is connected to the app.
• You are on a page that shows the status bar, such as SDX-Pole or 3D Scan.
• Live values depend on the receiver's state at that moment.
• For pole-based workflows, tilt compensation must be active before you capture measurements.

Step-by-step instructions

1. Open the GNSS Receiver Management page

1. Open Sodex Mobile.
2. Swipe to SDX-Pole or 3D Scan.
3. In the status bar, select GNSS.

Expected result: The GNSS Receiver Management page opens.

2. Check the License section

1. Review the license shown for the connected receiver.
2. If the page shows that no license was found for the device, treat that as a device-licensing issue for that receiver.
3. Use the displayed license to confirm whether the receiver is ready for the workflow you want to run.

Expected result: You can see whether the connected receiver has an assigned license.

3. Review the GNSS Position section

1. Check the reported Solution and GNSS Time.
2. Review the receiver position values, including Latitude, Longitude, and Altitude.
3. Review the quality indicators, including Horizontal Accuracy, Vertical Accuracy, Satellites, and any additional GNSS details shown on the page.
4. Use these values to confirm that the receiver is reporting a usable live position.

Expected result: You can tell whether the receiver has a valid position and whether the reported quality matches field conditions.

4. Review the Tilt Compensation section

1. Check the tilt-compensation status shown on the page.
2. If you need to calibrate again before pole-based work, use the reset option on this page when available.
3. After resetting, complete tilt compensation again in the relevant workflow before capturing measurements.

Expected result: You know whether tilt compensation is active and whether the receiver is ready for pole-based capture.

5. Review the Battery section

1. Check the receiver charge level.
2. Review the available battery details, such as Voltage, Time until empty, Temperature, and any additional values shown on the page.
3. Use these details to decide whether the receiver has enough power for the planned field session.

Expected result: You can confirm the current battery condition before you continue working.

6. Review the Device information section

1. Check the reported Serial number, Firmware, API version, and Hardware version.
2. Confirm that the serial number matches the device you expect to use.
3. If needed, compare the serial number with the one shown on the GNSS receiver connection page.

Expected result: You can identify the connected receiver and review the main device details in one place.

Limits and notes

• GNSS Receiver Management is primarily a status and verification page for the connected receiver.
• Live values depend on the receiver's current state and connection health.
• The receiver serial number is also visible on the GNSS receiver connection page.
