Survey Import Module - File Menu

Using the Home ribbon, click Survey Import | Import Survey. Expand the File drop-down menu.

The Survey Import Module is used to import and manage survey station data and connect to survey equipment data.

The File menu contains utility commands:

Create Station DB: create an empty Datamine Station Database table containing the following fields:

STATION_ID: a unique identifier for the survey station. Alphanumeric up to 32 characters in length.
AREA_ID: a unique identifier for the pit area. This will typically match an area description in your Studio Survey database. Alphanumeric up to 32 characters in length.
XPT / YPT / ZPT: the 3D spatial (world) coordinates of the survey station.
DATE: a string describing the survey date.
SURVEYOR: the surveyor name associated with the survey.
METHOD: the surveying method used, either TPS (Total Station Positioning System) or GPS (Global Positioning System).

Import Stations: import station data in comma-separated-value (.csv) file into a Datamine Survey Station data file (.dm). First, select the Datamine file into which survey station information will be imported, then select the .csv file containing survey information.

An example .csv file:

ST1,A1,786040,6629224,424,11/03/2019,Jason Harrison,GPS
ST1,A1,756040,6629254,424,11/03/2019,Jason Harrison,GPS
ST1,A1,766040,6629354,424,11/03/2019,Jason Harrison,GPS

Each separate value corresponds to an attribute in the Station Database file, e.g.:
Export Stations: export information stored in a Datamine Station Database file to .csv format. Select the the .dm file containing station information, then specify a .csv file to contain the output in comma-separated format.
Exit:close the Survey Import Module and return to the Studio Survey application.
