SIM - Process Leica Job

To access this screen:

  • Using the Home ribbon, click Survey Import >> Import Survey. Select Leica >> Process Job.

The Survey Import Module (SIM) is used to import and manage survey station data and connect to survey equipment data. The Process Survey Data panel is used to select a raw instrument file in DBX, GSI or FLD format and add it to the Studio Survey database.

The processing method used is to convert a raw instrument file into a Datamine file. This file can then be reviewed and modified before the final stage of processing. This gives several advantages, including better quality assurance as the raw file does not need to be modified, and the Datamine format is easy to interpret, giving the surveyor processing the file a good understanding of what was recorded in the field. Datamine binary files are then fed into Studio Survey's EOM reporting tools, allowing reports to be published.

Fill out the parameters you need (see below) and click OK to import the equipment data into Studio Survey.

Activity steps:

  1. Set Input Format to the format you want to process: Leica DBX, Leica GSI, or MSO FLD.

  2. If you selected Leica DBX, set DBX Type to TPS or GSI.

  3. If you selected GSI, set GPS Height to Orthometric or Ellipsoidal.

  4. Set Method for data generation:

    • Polar Cartesian: uses both observations and coordinates.

    • Polar: uses observed angles and distances and ignores TPS coordinate values.

    • Cartesian: uses TPS calculated coordinates and ignores other measurements.
