To perform an Excavator Bucket Measure Up, you will need the following equipment:
* Trimble GNSS receiver
* Trimble Siteworks software
* A data collector
* A tripod and pole
* A prism
Once you have gathered your equipment, follow these steps to perform an Excavator Bucket Measure Up:
1. Set up the GNSS receiver on a tripod and pole at a point that is clear and unobstructed.
2. Open Siteworks and create a new survey.
3. Select the "Excavator Bucket Measure Up" survey type and enter the coordinates of the point where you set up the GNSS receiver.
4. Attach the prism to the excavator bucket.
5. Position the excavator bucket so that the prism is directly above the point where you set up the GNSS receiver.
6. Collect a measurement to the prism.
7. Repeat steps 5 and 6 at several different points around the excavator bucket.
8. Once you have collected measurements to all of the points, Siteworks will calculate the offset of the excavator bucket relative to the GNSS receiver.
You can then use this offset to calibrate your excavator bucket in Siteworks. To do this, follow these steps:
1. Open Siteworks and go to the "Machine Control" tab.
2. Select the "Calibrate" button.
3. Select the "Excavator Bucket" option.
4. Enter the offset that you calculated in step 7.
5. Click on the "Calibrate" button.
Once you have calibrated your excavator bucket, you can use it to excavate to grade in Siteworks. To do this, follow these steps:
1. Open Siteworks and go to the "Machine Control" tab.
2. Select the "Excavator" option.
3. Select the "Grade" button.
4. Select the design that you want to excavate to.
5. Siteworks will guide you to the desired depth and slope.
