Leica Geosystems released Version 1.5 of the Spider software for control of GPS reference stations and networks. Spider V1.5 is designed specifically to support Leica's GRX1200 and GRX1200Pro reference station receivers, which are based on the next-generation System 1200 technology.

"The Spider software is designed to support GPS services for local areas, such as cities, counties, communities, mines or construction sites, or entire regions, states or even countries," says James Stowell, director, GPS networks and reference station systems. "The software package fulfills all requirements for the management, operation and continuous monitoring of a network of GPS reference stations."

Spider V1.5 handles all aspects of configuration and control for local and unattended remote GPS sensors, periodic data downloads from sensors, data archiving and distribution, system monitoring, and data logging.
