How to Create a Project within Mobile Suite Data Veiw
Upon opening the new Tri-Global Technologies Data Viewer you can create a new project, or open an existing one.
To do this, select FILE and then either NEW PROJECT, or MANAGE PRJOECTS and select the appropriate project.
When creating a NEW PROJECT you can fill out your desired project name, and a description of the project if needed.
From the NEW PROJECT screen you can also adjust your COORDINATE SYSTEM SETTINGS as shown below.
Every project you set up can have its own unique coordinate system setting if required.
When you are finished setting up a project click on CREATE PROJECT, or if using the Manage Projects option click OPEN.
Your project name will be displayed at the top of the desktop and you can now begin importing Tri-Global Mobile Suite Jobs.

How to Import Data into the Mobile Suite Data Veiw
To import data into your project click on the IMPORT DATA tab. Here you can choose between DEVICE or DIRECTORY.
When importing data from the device please make sure you are completely closed out of the Mobile Suite program and
have an ACTIVE SYNC connection. When ready, click on the IMPORT DATA tab. You may also import as many Tri-Global
Mobile Suite jobs from as many devices as you wish into a single project.
*Please make sure that if multiple jobs are being imported into one project, those jobs are within reasonable range of each
other so your selected base stations for post processing will cover them.
After you click on the IMPORT DATA tab, you are asked to select your job or jobs from the list on the device. Select the appropriate
job and click IMPORT SELECTED. To select multiple jobs to import hold the SHIFT key while selecting jobs and when ready click
IMPORT SELECTED. Once imported you will see your job (s) displayed in the data tables as well as a quick view of your data in the
map screen.

How to Apply Differential Correction to your Data
Once you have imported your data into the desktop you can setup and apply a differential correction to your data.
*Please note differential correction requires GPS Pathfinder® Office. For more information on Pathfinder Office contact
Tri-Global Technologies. To begin the process of differential correction, click on the EDIT tab and select
DIFFERENTIAL CORRECTION SETTINGS. In the differential correction settings box enter in a rough LAT/LON of where your
data was mapped. Please note the correct format below:
If the LAT/LON of your data is……. 33°56’43.73”N -83°28’15.21”W
The correct format will be……..33.56 -83.28
*Remember that all Longitude is (-) negative in the Western Hemisphere.
Once your LAT/LON values are entered click on the browse icon next to the Single Provider line. This will pop up a box of the
closest base stations to your entered coordinates. It is good practice to always UPDATE LIST before selecting your station.
Select the base station that is closest to your location and has a strong Integrity Index, then click OK. Click on the X of the
Differential Correction Settings box to save your settings and exit the setup.
You may also set up a Base Provider Group in your Differential Correction Settings instead of a single base provider. Click on the
browse icon next to the Provider Group line. Create a name for your group or use a previously created group and follow the
steps for the single provider group.
Now that your differential corrections settings are in place click on the APPLY DIFFERENTIAL CORRECTION tab to begin the
correction process. At this point the Pathfinder Office software automatically begins the corrections and you will see a text log
and the corrections being made. Once corrected the text log disappears and you can now export your data.
You may also apply differential correction when first importing data into the desktop. After clicking Import Data and selecting your
desired jobs, check the box that is labeled Apply Differential Correction to Imported Data. This will launch the correction process
just like above and will apply the corrections to the data. Once complete you can export your data.
