If you’ve ever been stuck under a tree canopy or tried to capture a point which would require you to lose satellite reception, the LaserTech TruPulse 360B is a great solution for creating real-time offsets directly in your Trimble handheld. In our testing environment, we hooked up the 360B to a new GeoXH 2008 series handheld using bluetooth. Prior to the first offset, the unit was easily calibrated using the simple process outlined in the manual. Then it was ready to go. The GeoXH was running TerraSync. As we began collecting a point, we simply focused the 360B’s cross-hair on the target within the eyepiece (which also displays common settings - see image), clicked the trigger, and the offset was transferred to the unit, automatically adjusting the point to the actual offset position. Once the offset is registered, those points can be navigated to in TerraSync and post processed like normal. The unit provide easy readings of distance, bearing, inclination, and other basic settings and can be used as a stand-alone system for these basic measurements.

Forget capturing distance and bearing by hand on a notepad and then working your calculus back at the office. Let the new TruPulse 360B do the job for you automatically. GEO-Jobe is an authorized LaserTech distributor and we use this in our data collection projects too. Give us a call if you’d like to learn more or for a demo. 615-883-0085.
