The electronic theodolites and total stations in the TPS
System 1000 are equipped with programs for
processing field data and control-point coordinates. The
systems are therefore highly functional and classical
survey tasks are simplified appreciably.
When delivered, the instruments are already equipped
for the following standard applications:
- Orientation and height transfer
- Resection
- Tie distance
- Stakeout
- Free-station survey (Licence code required)
In addition, the following applications are delivered on
diskette:
- Reference line / building alignment
- Remote height
- Hidden points
- Computation of area
- Sets of angles
- Traverse
- Local resection
- Roadline
- File Editor
- Road Plus
- COGO
- Monitoring
IN
This list is extended continuously. Find actual
information in file README.TXT on diskette.
The additional application programs can be loaded into
the instrument, but can only be run as a demonstration
version in which certain functions are disabled. Full
functionality can be obtained with a licence code,
available from your Leica agency, where you can also
obtain information about the newest programs available
in the ongoing applications-software development
is the PC software needed to install applications or
foreign-language texts on the TPS1000 instruments.

The "WORKBENCH" program is installed in the PC
by running the program "SETUP.EXE" under
WINDOWS on the diskette. For further details, refer to
the handbook or to the HELP file of WINDOWS.
TPS-user just have to install the "TPS Softwae
Upload".
Applications, and system- and application texts, are
loaded into the TPS1000 by means of the "TPS
SOFTWARE UPLOAD" program.
Use the interface cable 563 625 to connect the
TPS1000 to the serial interface COM1 or COM2 on the
PC.
Start the "TPS SOFTWARE UPLOAD" program with a
double-click from the WINDOWS program manager.
Select the command "Sensor/Settings" and inspect the
interface selected and the baud rate. The baud rate
should be set to the maximum. The baud rate for the
TPS1000 instrument is set automatically .
Switch the instrument off! Select the command "View
Applications + System" to inspect the connection to the
instrument. The instrument switches itself on again and
establishes the connection. The display of the
applications available on the instrument shows that the
connection was successful. If it was not successful, read
section "Solving problems".
When an additional application is first started up, a
licence code is requested, so that the application will be
fully functional. Without this licence code, you can run
the applications as a demonstration version, but you will
not be able to calculate and store the results.
IN
The licence code is available from your Leica agency,
who will inform you about licence fees for additional
applications. Details of the licence agreement are given
in the registration card, which is a part of the "System"
manual.
To expedite formalities, please fill in a copy of the form
at the end of this section and fax it to your local Leica
agency.
Solving problems

Units in this manual
Preparation
Specifications within this manual always apply to the
following units:
Units of length:
- in m (meters)

All program sequences are based on a unified structure.
The clearly-designed display with the function keys
makes learning easy. Each program has a configuration
dialog. In this dialog, the user can match programspecific parameters to changes in requirements and
sequences. The various possibilities are described in the
instructions for the individual programs.
T o avoid temporarily-stored information being lost
when the TPS1000 automatically switches off after long
periods of disuse, you should set the "sleep mode"
instead of the automatic switchoff. For more
information, please refer to section "Fixed keys"("Power off, Sleep") of "System" - user manual.
Each application takes over the settings (units,
recording format, display format etc.) allocated to the
appropriate user.
Page 25
If required, these user settings must be defined in
advance. For more information, please refer to section
"User configuration" of "System" - user manual.
EL
Data exchangeIf the settings in an application are altered, these
GN
changed values will be taken over in the other
applications also and in „Measure and record“. The
settings affected are the station coordinates and the
circle orientation, along with parameters such as the
reflector constant, reflector height, and data for distance
reduction. This data can be altered in every application.
The measurement data is stored in the file selected.

This dialog is similar to the TPS 1000’s basic "Measure
Mode" dialog. Once a measurement is taken, the
program will return to the dialog "Target Point" to
acquire the next point for measuring.
If the orientation correction can be calculated
successfully from any of the first measurements, the
∆Hz and ∆V values are displayed for further entered

The program calculates the length and azimuth of a line
connecting two points.
Polygonal or Radial methods can be used as shown in
the illustrations.
The data for the points can either be measured or
retrieved from the selected file. Measured points and
points retrieved from the selected file can be used
together in the calculations, if the station coordinates
and orientation are set correctly.
In Polygonal Mode, the program will calculate the
distance between the last two points measured (eg. Pt3 Pt4).
In Radial Mode, the program will calculate the distance
between the last point measured (called a Radial Point)
(Pt2, Pt3 ...) and a fixed Center Point (Pt1).

The stakeout points can either be retrieved from the
selected file or entered manually .
The program permits selection of either 2D or 3D
stakeout modes.

Manually enter the stakeout point. The TPS 1000
manual input dialog will appear.
Once the coordinates of the stakeout point have been
acquired, the program proceeds to "Coarse
Positioning". This option is available to direct the prism
from the previous point placed to the next.
The "Coarse Positioning" calculates various
displacements, depending on the method selected.
Displacements are computed between the last point
placed and the actual stakeout point selected. For more
information refer to chapter "Stakeout".
The stakeout values of each point are computed in
relation to the base formed by the last two points.
If the elevation is known for the point to be staked out,
the height difference in relation to the last base point
(Pt2), is displayed. In particular, this method is
advantageous for long objects (traffic routes). Values
for positioning are only displayed after two stakeout
points.
Setting out values are computed as orthogonal
coordinates to the baseline between instrument station
and prism. If the elevation is also known, ∆H is given in
relation to the last prism - point measured.
Note, data will be displayed if there is at least one point
measured.
Points must have known coordinates. Various methods
can be used, depending on the Stakeout Method set.
Motorized instruments can drive the telescope to the
horizontal and vertical direction of the point to be
staked. For more information refer to chapter"Select
Stakeout Method".
After the first distance has been measured, the
differences between calculated and measured direction
and between calculated and measured horizontal
distance are displayed. If the elevation of the point to be
staked is available, the height difference between the
last measured reflector and the point to be staked is
shown together with the measured elevation of the
reflector point.

"REFERENCE LINE" is a specialized form of stakeout
used for construction and building alignment. It permits
positioning of a point referred to a line. Points for use in
the program can be measured, entered manually, or read
from the database.
The program records individual measurements in the
database. In addition, the program generates a log file
containing all data for a given measurement session.
Simultaneously measure and record in the active file.
