The Road - Data Entry program

The Leica "ROADDATA.EXE" for providing setting-out data files

Once the alignment has been designed using road- design software, the resulting data consist of main points, element parameters and cross sections. These data must be brought into a structure which can be loaded into the memory card. There are two ways to product the three setting-out data files (Hz-alignment file, V-alignment file and transverse-profile file):

a)writing an individually-customised program to automatically generate and convert the necessary data

b)entering the data by hand into the Leica "ROADDATA.EXE" program. The program offers a convenient way of entering the values by offering suitable menu controls. The program reformats the data into the structure required.

Once the three setting-out data files are ready, all you need to do is to transfer the data into the memory card, using a suitable transfer program.

Using the "ROADDATA.EXE" program

Copy the program from the diskette to your hard disk, using the DOS command

COPY

and from there into e.g. disk drive C:\.

Start the program with the command

C:\>roaddata

Follow the menu directives. An integrated Help function gives you support, particularly when you are using the keyboard commands.
