Creating Data Files

Program Overview

There are two methods that can be used to create the necessary data files. If the program called "FILE EDITOR" is loaded into the theodolite, all necessary data for a given component can be entered through the keyboard. To enter data on the computer a DOS pro- gram called "ROADDATA.EXE" can be used. If you create the files using the "ROADDATA.EXE" program, the files must be copied to the PCMCIA card in a directory called GSI.

The following table shows an overview of the max. file sizes:

Type of file	Limitations
Horizontal	No limitation for "RoadPlus";
alignment	max. 200 blocks for "File Editor"
Vertical	No limitation for "RoadPlus";
alignment	max. 200 blocks for "File Editor"
Cross section	200 data blocks
	(number of points in a cross section
	max. 48)
Cross section	100 data blocks
assignment
Station equation	100 data blocks

"ROADPLUS" allows measurements in one telescope position only. A typical "ROADPLUS" session includes the following steps:

1.Enter setup information for the instrument and orient.

2.Start the ROADPLUS program and configure.

3.Select the alignment files

4.Select a station

5.Pick a point on the cross-section to stakeout, enter an offset, choose method.
