Control Network Pro
Automated traverse observation for motorized total stations
A traverse automatic observation tool that conducts multiple rounds of observations on survey points according to the multi-round angle measurement mode. During the measurement process it automatically evaluates angular and distance tolerances based on regulatory requirements, and if limits are exceeded, remeasurement is triggered. After the measurement data is output, the post-processing software can generate data reports in the format required by the regulations.

Key capabilities
- Combined tolerance checks keep field results correct.
- Prompts direct and reverse observations so the measurement sequence is followed exactly.
- After one learning round, targets are observed automatically in multi-round angle mode — cutting labour cost and raising throughput.
- Every configured tolerance is evaluated automatically; exceeding one triggers remeasurement on the spot.
- When remeasuring, the earlier within-limit rounds can still be stored — useful in monitoring environments where closing the loop is hard.
- Measurement data is written out as a text file, ready for third-party post-processing software.
Hardware support
Requires a motorized total station (measuring robot). Currently supported brands:

Four Key Advantages
Applicable
Suitable for precision control surveys, deformation monitoring, and other projects. In the future, additional types of supporting engineering, such as triangulation leveling and leveling surveys, will be continuously added.
Efficiency
The software utilizes automatic measurement combined with a high-speed motor, effectively reducing labor costs and improving operational efficiency. A single station survey can be completed in about 2 minutes.
Accuracy
The software comes with preset tolerance limits based on various standards, covering multiple engineering fields such as subway, railway, and highway. It also supports custom tolerance limits to restrict observation accuracy according to local project requirements.
Flexibility
Supports exporting raw data in multiple formats.
