Data Collectors and Field Controllers are essential accessories to total stations and GPS/GNSS receivers. They allow you to record accurate land measurements and perform calculations on site. Ergonomically designed and built for the demanding conditions in the field, data controllers perform like a trusted member of your surveying team.

Types of Survey Data Collectors

All survey data collectors offer a range of connectivity and communication options to make setup and data delivery fast and streamlined. Simply choose the form factor that best fits your preferences and requirements, and pairs the controller with your total station or GNSS receiver to enable you to accomplish more on surveying job sites. For instance, with tablet field controllers, you no longer need to choose between the toughness and portability of a data collector and the operating power of a laptop. On the other hand, slate data collectors combine the convenience and ease-of-use of a smartphone with the same durability.

Field Controller Features

Data collectors come with tech options such as touchscreens, full keypads, advanced operating systems, long-life batteries, fast processors, large internal memory, and optional GPS and cellular capability. You can also choose between different field software, screen sizes, additional hardware features, and various connectivity options, including Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, WWAN and SD/CF card slots. These allow you to easily transfer field data from your total station to your PC for post-processing. Field controllers are also highly-durable with a sealed housing to withstand harsh environments and survive multiple drops onto concrete.
