Frequently Asked Questions

General

✓ What surveying software is compatible with the MC200 GNSS Controller? ▾

The MC200 runs Android 12 and is compatible with major surveying software packages including Carlson SurvCE, TopSURV, MicroSurvey FieldGenius, and other professional GNSS field applications available on the Android platform.

✓ How long does the 22-hour battery actually last in real field conditions? ▾

The 22-hour battery life is based on typical surveying usage with screen brightness at 50%, GPS tracking active, and moderate data collection. Actual runtime varies based on screen brightness, cellular/WiFi usage, and active applications, but field tests consistently show 18-22 hours of operation under normal surveying conditions.

✓ Can the MC200 withstand harsh construction and surveying environments? ▾

Yes, the MC200 features IP68 rating for complete dust protection and water immersion resistance up to 1.5 meters for 30 minutes. It's built to withstand drops, temperature extremes, and the demanding conditions typical in construction sites, topographic surveys, and outdoor fieldwork.

✓ What are the advantages of the full QWERTY keyboard for field data entry? ▾

The physical QWERTY keyboard enables faster, more accurate data entry compared to touchscreen keyboards, especially when wearing gloves or in challenging weather conditions. This significantly improves productivity for point descriptions, notes, and coordinate entry during field surveys and data collection tasks.

✓ How does the 8-core CPU performance benefit surveying applications? ▾

The 8-core CPU provides superior processing power for complex surveying calculations, real-time data processing, map rendering, and running multiple applications simultaneously. This ensures smooth operation of demanding surveying software, faster coordinate transformations, and seamless multitasking between data collection, communication, and reference applications.
