This manual provides you with the necessary
information to perform measurement tasks with
the Trimble® SCS900 site controller software. To
perform these measurement tasks, you need the
SCS900 site controller software running on a
controller that is either connected to a Precision or
Location GNSS system, or to a total station. You
can also use the internal GPS of the device to
locate objects. The SCS900 software is the field
software that runs on a Trimble Site Tablet and the
Trimble TSC3 controller. For presentation and
training purposes, a software emulator that runs
on a Windows operating system is also available.
The SCS900 software is a site measurement tool
that streamlines earthworks and surface finishing
operations. It enables construction contractors to
measure material volumes, monitor grades and
laid material thicknesses, and to perform site
measurement tasks such as point, line, and
surface stakeout.
Start up and set up of the sophisticated GPS and
total station technology is quick and easy. The
software manages data for multiple project sites,
single large project sites, and large sites that have
been divided into zones. When a field engineer
opens a work order, the software opens all data
files needed to complete that work order. Because
the software delivers results immediately,
informed decisions can be made in the field.
The software can also be used to check site
grading operations that have been performed
using a machine control system, such as a Trimble
