July 05, 2011 -- St. Charles, IL – The Sidwell Company is proud to announce their GNSS StatViewer, a software extension for Esri® ArcPad® 10.  The new extension provides GNSS statistics to the field user, ensuring that the desired accuracy is provided during the collection process. GNSS StatViewer provides the following information: Number of Satellites Used, Differential Mode, Differential Correction Age, Position Dilution of Precision (PDOP) Horizontal Positional Error (HPE) and Vertical Positional Error (VPE).

Not only is GNSS StatViewer able to provide these statistics in the ArcPad 10 software while in the field, it is also capable of recording the statistics to the Esri feature class as an attribute while the data is being collected. When a license of GNSS StatViewer is purchased, the included geo-processing tool automatically creates the necessary fields in the Esri Geodatabase or Shapefile. This capability allows the user to adequately track and manage field collected statistics and make certain your project meets specification.

GNSS StatViewer is developed for Ashtech®—specific GPS or GNSS hardware, and is compatible with the following products:

• Ashtech MobileMapper® 6*
• Ashtech MobileMapper® 10*
• Ashtech MobileMapper® 100
• Ashtech ProMark® 100
• Ashtech ProMark® 200

*Note: Ashtech MobileMapper 6 and MobileMapper 10 does not provide HPE or VPE statistics, so these statistics will not be provided or recorded.
