12.4.1 Optional: Auto filling of GNSS attributes
1
One of the great advantages of ArcGIS Online is the power to automatically fill GNSS
attributes when performing a collection.
This allows you to store in your Geo data base
information such as precise height, accuracy error and quality information which is relevant
for many GIS accurate jobs.
The auto-filling is very simply handled by using an specific
naming convention in the attributes of your Feature class.
All the following Septentrio SBF blocks are supported for auto filling within the GIS
collection:
Positioning and solution
PVTCartesian, PVTGeodetic, PosCart, PosLocal,
PosProjected, RTCMDatum
Position accuracy error
PosCovGeodetic, PosCovCartesian,
RAIMStatistics, VelCovCartesian,
VelCovGeodetic, DOP
Status information
BatteryStatus*, BluetoothStatus*,
CellularStatus, WiFiClientStatus, ReceiverSetup,
ReceiverStatus, IPStatus, DiffCorrIn*,
MeasEpoch*, WiFiAPStatus
*Note that currently there is no support for sub-block information within some SBF blocks (only the common
flags of the block are auto filled)
Table 12.4-2:
SBF blocks supported by the Auto filling of GNSS data
The auto filling is done by simply creating a GIS attribute which corresponds to the SBF block
and field name: <message name>_<field name> e.g. DOP_VDOP.
More information about all the fields of SBF blocks can be found at the Reference
guide of the Altus NR2. It is also possible within the web interface to check the Message
inspector located in the Expert Console menu so that you can visualize the fields which
could be filled.
Here are some example of attributes and how would they be defined in the ArcGIS
Online Feature class.
Field wanted
Attribute name to be added
in your GIS database
Height
PVTGeodetic_Height
Horizontal Accuracy
PVTGeodetic_HAccuracy
Differential Corrections received
DiffCorrIn_Mode
When creating the attributes in ArcGIS Online it is important to consider the field type of the
information you want to auto fill. The following table explains how the type conversions are
done between the GNSS receiver and your GIS database.

Note that the auto-fill functionality is not available with free Esri ArcGIS public accounts.
