Carlson Software News
February 2015


We at Carlson Software are hoping to see you at the first Carlson User Conference to be held in the company's home town of Maysville, Kentucky, U.S.A.

It's recommended that you sign up early for this exclusive event (limited to 200 attendees), and look for personal attention with the planned low ratio of students to instructors. The class schedule covering use of Carlson's data collection, surveying, civil engineering, GIS, and mining software has recently been posted. 

Carlson, one of the last privately owned companies in the industries it serves, is committed to working with its customers to improve both the technology they have access to as well as their skills to use it.

 

This conference won't be all work and no play: Carlson Software has included some "Kentucky" entertainment in addition to the two days of intense classes. Wednesday evening, you're all invited to a talk by Maysville native and TV personality Nick Clooney (singer Rosemary's brother and actor George's dad) to be followed by a concert by Kentucky native Ricky Skaggs.

Thursday evening, all are also invited to a gala banquet under a luxury tent in Maysville's new Limestone Park to be highlighted by the conference keynote speaker, Bill Bissett, Ed.D., President of the Kentucky Coal Association. 

 

We look forward to seeing you in Maysville at our 5th User Conference and working with you throughout the year.

  

Carlson works for you,

Carlson Hardware: Made for its Software
Carlson is known for its easy-to-use yet technically advanced software, especially in the field of surveying -- its SurvCE data collection software stands as one of the most popular choices around the world. 

While still maintaining its dedication to providing the most instrument drivers of any other data collection software on the market, Carlson also works with renowned hardware manufacturers to design Carlson-branded hardware to work specifically with its popular software. 

These include:
Carlson Surveyor2: Fast, durable and powerful, the Carlson Surveyor2 is completely ruggedized, with an IP68 water and dust resistant Ingress rating. Weighing just two pounds, the Carlson Surveyor2 offers 512MB program memory, 8 gigabytes non-volatile data storage, a 1.0 GHz processor to provide the speed surveyors need in the field, and its Bluetooth range is up to 1500 feet when paired with a class I device. The easy-to-use, tab-based menu and advanced graphics in Carlson SurvCE4 work perfectly on the Carlson Surveyor2, enhancing its usability.
