Prepare Trimble MX7 Resources

This page describes the Trimble MX7 files for Orbit.
Using the according Orbit Import Templates the described resources can be imported into Orbit.

It is strongly recommend to read first Concepts of Mobile Mapping and UAS data in Orbit.

This document describes the workflow to create the MX7 files as documented on this page.

• File format : One ascii *.csv file.
• File structure Rows : Each timestamp is one record.
• File structure Columns : Tab separated (char9), headers, with exact order as the example below.
• Value of Coordinates : any supported coordinate system can be used, Long/Lat order for geographical coordinates, decimal notation, without thousands separator.
• Value of Timestamp : GPS Absolute time or GPS Week time, decimal notation, without thousand separator.
