The X-TRAC 7 robotic system upgrade is an enhancement of firmware
and software that affects the robotic tracking, quick-lock,
radios, and data collector performance. It’s available for
all GTS-900, GPT-9000, and IS instrument systems.
Smaller – Lighter – Faster – Longer. The GPT-9000 series of
robotic total station is the latest, most advanced system
on the market today.
The GPT-900 series of robotic total station boasts faster
motors, integrated radio communications, and new X-TRAC prism
tracking technology.

Clark
Labs Releases New Global Monthly Data Archive for Image Time
Series Analysis
Our Supplier
M/S Clark Labs is pleased to announce they have released a DVD
archive of monthly global NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation
Index) and EVI (Enhanced Vegetation Index) MODIS data. The MODIS
data were processed by NASA Goddard from the Terra sensor projected
on a 0.05 degree climate modeling grid. The DVD includes over
3 gigabytes of data from the MOD13C2 product, for the years
2000 - 2009, formatted and preprocessed for immediate input
into the IDRISI GIS and Image Processing software. None of the
original values were altered. The DVD is available for only
$30 plus shipping and handling.
Historical data is crucial for the analysis of earth trends
and dynamics, particularly for change detection and prediction
and long-term image series analysis. Time series analysis is
critical for exploring such global events as El Nino and related
sea surface temperature anomalies and impacts. Although such
data is a valuable resource for analysts--publicly available
and typically free--a significant amount of effort must be invested
before the data is ready for analysis. Files for each time period,
typically at sizes of over 100 mb, must be downloaded individually.
The data then needs to be imported and pre-processed. This archive
allows analysts and researchers to bypass the tedious yet necessary
data download and preparation process, freeing up more effort
for a project's analytical goals.
This data archive is a particularly significant resource as
input for the Earth Trends Modeler application within the IDRISI
software. Earth Trends Modeler, an application for the exploration
and analysis of image time series data, includes a coordinated
suite of data mining tools and a variety of techniques for the
extraction of global trends and the impacts of climate change.
The new data archive can immediately be used within Earth Trends
Modeler.
The DVD also includes monthly atmospheric temperature data from
Remote Sensing System (RSS), processed from the Microwave and
Advanced Microwave Sounding Units on NOAA polar-orbiting platforms
and in a 2.5 degree grid.
Using
the data for Earth Trends Modeler
The new data
archive is well-suited for use within IDRISI Taiga's Earth Trends
Modeler application.
Earth Trends
Modeler provides a wealth of functionality to examine trends
and anomalies in image time series data. Tools are provided
to analyze long term trends, examine relationships, uncover
patterns of variability, and explore trends in seasonality.
Earth Trends Modeler also includes all of the necessary pre-processing
tools to prepare your data for analysis.
