Trimble PivotTM Platform, version 3.10.5 
This software update for Trimble® Pivot™ Platform (TPP) contains all changes since the release of version 3.10.0. The following document gives you an overview of the changes.

Reference Frame Support 
Additional support for the modernized Geocentric Datum of Australia: GDA2020. It is available in the Reference Frame settings in the System Properties.

Real Time Output
Potential memory leak in Real-Time Output (RTO) module 
The container that runs the RTO modules has a potential memory leak. This issue has been fixed in order to avoid unnecessary memory usage. 

RTO VRS 
Removal of a station from a Synchronizer resulted in a change of the Physical Base Station (PBS) if the options “Exclude delayed stations enabled” and “Local transformation” were both enabled at the same time. Rovers were detecting an unnecessary change of the PBS, a change of the PBS position and an increment of the VRS Station ID. This potential issue has been fixed. 

Rover disconnect
If a large number of reference stations is temporarily unavailable and if a connected rover is located in the area of unavailable reference stations (i.e. no corrections available), rovers will get disconnected by Trimble Pivot Platform. This software update adds an option in the RTO VRS properties to keep the rover connections alive until corrections become available again. 

Trimble Ntrip Caster 
Adding new mountpoints to the sourcetable in the Trimble Ntrip Caster might have caused an unexpected disconnect and reconnect of all rovers. This issue has been fixed, new mountpoints can be added seamlessly.

Map Support 
Fix for lacking Google Maps support in Trimble Pivot Platform User Interface due to API changes in Google Maps. 

Trimble Pivot Web 
Reference Data Shop
The Reference Data Shop did not read RINEX Galileo ephemeris files if observations were stored in RINEX format, i.e. Galileo ephemeris were not available for post-processing purposes. This issue has been fixed, Galileo ephemeris is available now (subject to availability, to receiver tracking options and to Trimble Pivot Platform settings).

GNSS Receiver 
Leica GR30/GR50
In case observations from Leica GR30/GR50 reference station to Trimble Pivot Platform are transmitted in RTCM MSM format and if these receivers were the Physical Base Station, rovers had issues to get an RTK fix. This issue has been fixed. 

RTCM MSM Decoder 
Observations with more than 14 concurrent GPS satellites have been rejected in the receiver module due to a limitation in maximum expected number of GPS satellites. Since it might be possible to track more than 14 GPS satellites in some locations today, this limitation has been removed. 

Code-Bias Calibration 
Adding a new reference station to Trimble Pivot Platform might cause the Code-Bias Calibration module to scan data of all stations for the past 15 days, followed by an upload and processing of the respective data. This might occur even though if this data had already been scanned, uploaded and processed. The unnecessary additional scan, upload and processing has been eliminated.

Trimble PivotTM Platform, version 3.10.4 
GNSS Receiver
Trimble Alloy GNSS receiver
Trimble’s all-new Alloy GNSS receiver has been added to the list of supported receivers.
-	Trimble Alloy GNSS receiver supports all known and planned GNSS constellations (using Trimble dual MaxwellTM 7 chipset which provides 672 channels for simultaneous satellite tracking).
-	Satellite tracking: GPS/Glonass/Galileo/BeiDou/QZSS/IRNSS/SBAS/L-Band
-	No additional receiver license required to add Trimble Alloy GNSS receiver. 
-	Trimble Alloy GNSS receiver available in Network Processor (GPS and Glonass) and in RTXNet Processor (GPS, Glonass, Galileo, BeiDou, QZSS).
For more details, please visit our web page: http://www.trimble.com/Infrastructure/Trimble-Alloy.aspx

Clock Steering
Clock Steering has been enabled as default setting. Incoming observation from GNSS receivers will be clock steered in Raw Data Analysis in case clock steering has not been turned-on on the receiver hardware already.

Real Time Output
Drift in phase measurements.
A change of the physical base station may have caused a drift in phase measurements in VRS interpolation for up to 30 seconds, which might have affected rover fixing times. This potential issue has been fixed.

Change of Physical Base Station
The change of the physical base station (PBS), while receiving corrections, could have resulted in sending one epoch of raw data instead of network corrections. Some rovers might have not been capable to handle this switch of correction data source. This issue has been fixed, raw data will not be sent in case of a change of the PBS. 
 
Trimble Pivot Web
Reference Data Shop
A health flag check has been added for ephemeris from reference station observation files in order to avoid download of inconsistent observation files. This safety check has been added in addition to the already existing health check for virtual Rinex files (i.e. check of health flag in ephemeris file via NPR storage). 
Accounting
User-defined configuration of the accounting port in the CC-default.config file after installation and running SetupControl.exe got overwritten at start of the CentralController.exe. This issue has been fixed, the user-defined port will not get overwritten anymore. 
Email Notification
The Reference Data Shop allows to select email notification if ordered data has been generated. However, this notification email has not been sent in some cases. This issue has been fixed, email notifications will be sent if checkbox is ticked. 

 

Trimble PivotTM Platform, version 3.10.3 
Software update version 3.10.3 contains identical content as previous version 3.10.2. Version 3.10.2 has been withdrawn from the automatic update mechanism due to an unexpected issue with high station delays that might have affected some networks. This issue has been fixed and version 3.10.2 gets re-released as version 3.10.3. 

Trimble PivotTM Platform, version 3.10.2
Real Time Output
RTO Performance
In case a rover’s associated Physical Base Station changed while the rover is connected, the rover performance could have been limited for up to one minute. This issue has been fixed.
RTO with Sub-networks
Improved the sub-network selection when rovers are connecting near the borders or within the overlapping area of two or more sub-networks.

Trimble Format Updates
NMEA GGK Message String
The GGK message is a Trimble-proprietary extension to the NMEA message which typically consists of 12 fields. Extended information may be configured, however, thus extending the number of fields for a GGK message. Trimble Pivot Platform now supports GGK strings containing more than 13 fields. 

Code Bias Calibration
Code-Bias Calibration caches station information and was lacking to clear information if a station has been moved to a new Code-Bias Calibration module. This issue could have resulted in faulty processing information. This potential issue has been fixed. 

Ephemeris Download
The Bernese GNSS Software team (Astronomical Institute of the University of Berne) has announced a change of the URL of its FTP server for predicted orbit download. The previous URL will be deactivated in September 2017. The Ephemeris Download module has been adapted to use the new address Ftp.aiub.unibe.ch.   

Ephemeris Manager
Improved internal handling of almanac storage.

Trimble Ntrip Caster
New setting for the Ntrip Server connection type when adding or editing mountpoints: An option to disconnect inactive data sources after a specified time gap of data has been added. 

Reference Data Shop
The selection of the correct epoch of network correction data has been improved. A check for the number of available satellites has been added.

Online Licensing
MAC address recognition
The recognition procedure for a changed MAC address has been improved. 
License server
Support for TLS 1.2 encryption protocol has been added for Trimble License Server.

Trimble PivotTM Platform, version 3.10.1
User Interface
Google Maps View #1
The Google Maps view might have been visible in only half of the window in version 3.8 or lower. This issue has been fixed. 
Google Maps View #2
An option has been added that allows to set “no rovers displayed” as default value in the Google Maps View properties. 
Google Maps Support in Pivot UI
Google Maps had been disabled in version 3.10. It becomes available again with this software update. For more details, please see section at the end of this document.  

Ephemeris Manager
Time-of-week has been set to wrong value in case a receiver did no longer send observation data but continued sending ephemeris information. This issue has been fixed.

Device Manager / GNSS Receiver
The way how scintillation values are displayed have changed. The respective value in the GNSS Receiver’s Raw Data Analysis view changes from numbers to none, low, medium and high. Respective scintillation filtering in the Device Manager allows selection of Off, low, medium or high. By default, scintillation filtering is turned off. 

RTXNet Processor
Master Auxiliary Concept (RTCM3Net) output
A certain setting for troposphere estimation has not been set correctly when Trimble Pivot Platform has been from version 3.8 to 3.10. This would have affected correction data output only if Master Auxiliary Concept (RTCM3Net) has been selected in a RTO referring to a RTXNet Processor. The respective setting for the troposphere estimation has been corrected with this software update. 
Residuals
Improved residuals processing and handling in RTXNet. 

Real-Time Output
Subnetwork assignment
Improved subnetwork assignment methods.
RTCM 2.3
If RTCM 2.3 and VRS were selected as correction data stream, the respective PBS coordinate has been sent out in ITRF current instead of the selected reference frame. This issue has been resolved. 

Storage
Wrong week
Week number in GPS ephemeris that is being stored in RINEX files might have been wrong. This potential issue has been resolved. 
Rinex 3.02
Galileo E1 might have been missing in the stored RINEX files. This potential issue has been resolved.  

Trimble Ntrip Caster
Mountpoint selection became case sensitive in version 3.10. It actually should not be case sensitive, this software update resolves this issue.

Code-Bias Calibration
The upload to Code-Bias Calibration with RINEX 2.x is no longer supported. Code-Bias Calibration requires RINEX 3.x or T02 files.

Trimble Accounting / Ntrip Caster
Rover users might not been able to connect to services due to concurrent sessions errors. It might have happened that users were not disconnected correctly and were not cleaned from the row SessionCount in the table ConcurrentSessions. This potential issues has been resolved.

Trimble Pivot Web
Sensor Map
The projection EPSG_3857 is replacing EPSG_900913 which will help to support WMS services. 
Missing Leap Second List / Exceptions
Several views in PIVOT Web were not able to handle time span selection in GPS time correctly. This issue has been fixed, the time span can be selected in GPS time again. 

Report Generator
Leap seconds were not handled correctly in the Report Generator if GPS time has been selected. This issue has been fixed, the reports time span can be selected in GPS time again. 

Atmo App
Weather condition
IPWV values can be stored in up to 15 seconds intervals for 24 hours before amount of data samples will be reduced to 15 minutes. 
Meteo data
The IPWV map in PIVOT Web now allows showing the following meteorological data (where available) when clicking on a station:
•	Temperature
•	Pressure
•	Humidity

Auto-Update
The Station Chart and Condition Chart for atmospheric conditions in PIVOT Web now allows setting an auto-refresh with a frequency of up to every 15 seconds. By default, auto-refresh is turned off. 

Documentation / Help files
Added missing help files for:
•	Code-Bias Calibration
•	Mobile Gate

Google Maps – New Properties
Google Maps Properties
For displaying the Google Maps view (subject to valid license for respective Pivot option), GoogleÔ requires that you register for Google Maps API Premium Plan. Refer to Google Maps APIs Premium Plan (https://developers.google.com/maps/premium/overview) for details on how to obtain a Google Maps Business license under which you may generate either a Web-API JavaScript key or a client ID. Using Google Maps in Trimble Pivot Platform requires either a Google Maps API key or a Google Maps client ID (only one can be used at a time in Trimble Pivot Platform).
New Google Maps property fields are being introduced with this software update:
•	Google Maps API key
•	Google Maps client ID
•	Automatic map update
•	Enable asset tracking

Enable asset tracking: This property specifies whether assets, such as rovers, may be tracked on the Google Maps view. By default disabled. Assets are objects which may be moving and can be tracked, such as roves in the field. For legally enabling the tracking of assets, one needs a Google Maps license that covers asset tracking. 
Show rovers: Only available, if the Enable asset tracking property is set to Yes. 

Usage limits - and how to avoid exceeding them
1) Map requests
Under the Premium Plan, customers may purchase Maps APIs Credits, that is quota for a certain period based on the estimate of the application's annual usage. All requests for Maps APIs consume credits. However, a certain quota of requests is free. At time of documentation, the following usage limits applied:
•	Shared daily free quota of 100,000 requests per 24 hours; additional requests must be paid for.  
•	For preventing abuse, the number of requests is limited to 50 requests per second.
•	The Trimble Pivot Platform Google Maps view issues one map request per view update. 

2) Asset tracking
Additional charges may arouse when the Trimble Pivot Platform Google Maps view displays the position of the rovers in the field. These moving objects are considered to be tracked assets, and as such have specific license terms and charges. 

Please note:
•	Rover states are updated every 60 seconds.
•	The Automatic map update Google Maps view-property specifies how often the map is updated.  If the property is set to Yes, the map updates once per minute which results in 1440 updates. If the property is set to No, it generates map requests only when you click the   toolbar button on top of the Google Maps view area.
•	The Enable asset tracking Google Maps view-property specifies whether assets, such as rovers, may be tracked on the Google Maps view. By default it is set to No. You should only set the property to Yes, if your Premium Plan covers asset tracking. Additionally, even if asset tracking is enabled, you may disable displaying the rovers on the map temporarily. To do so, use the Show rovers Google Maps view-property or click the  toolbar button on top of the Google Maps view area.
•	Trimble Pivot Platform internally uses the Microsoft Internet Explorer for displaying the Google Maps view. For displaying the maps correctly with the Microsoft Internet Explorer, the following web sites must be accessible for the server computer: 
*.google.com, *.gstatic.com, *.googleapis.com,  www.openstreetmap.org 
If one or several of these sites are blocked, you can add them to the list of "Trusted sites" using the Control Panel > Internet Options > Security dialog.
