5.1.2Overview

When creating a job, it is possible to attach a pre-defined coordinate system, as well as interpolation files for non-linear transformations, and calculations of elevation above mean sea level. It is also possible to re-project a job into a coordinate system of datum at any time in the Job management application.

Coordinate Systems can be created in either GIS DataPRO or SKI PRO office software, as well as pre-defined coordinate systems which can be downloaded from local websites. The coordinate systems can be transferred via bluetooth, serial cable, or directly onto the compact flash, and is contained in a GPSTRF.dat file.

Although the CSCS and Geoid files are attached to a coordinate system in the office software, it is necessary to make a smaller more localized “Field file” for use in the GPS hardware. These files can then be used in conjunction to the coordinate system on the GS20 to provide transformations, and orthometric height values.

5.1.3Attaching a Coordinate System

A coordinate system can be attached to a new job upon creation, or to an existing job via the job properties in Job Management. In order for a Geoid or CSCS field file to be attached to a selected coordinate system, it is necessary that the system be defined with a Global Geoid or CSCS file attachment. This is done in either DataPRO or SKIPRO coordinate system management.
