LIVERMORE, Calif. A powerful, compact and affordable field controller the FC-120 has been unveiled by Topcon Positioning Systems (TPS).
The FC-120 is available with TopSURV, Pocket Layout or Pocket 3D ” Topcon”s survey, layout and 3D site management software packages.
Mark Contino, vice president of survey sales, said, The FC-120 has an innovative design that packs all the power of the FC-200 into a smaller data collector with a large array of capabilities. Its operating system, Windows® CE.NET 5.0, provides a field-proven operating environment that is well known and accepted in the surveying and construction industries. And with a 520MHz processor, the FC-120 provides the best balance of performance and power consumption.
With the FC-120, Topcon has designed a compact instrument with advanced software functions that are easy to use such as a large key pop-up keyboard for data entry, Contino said.
The FC-120 provides Compact Flash (CF) and Secure Digital (SD) card slots. We can™t know what might be available in five years for a CF or SD card slot but the FC-120 is ready for it. The card access is a superior design element. It™s a simple, yet reliable access door allowing a user to quickly add or change memory cards. Contino said.
