Introduction

General

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

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

project. All installation programs and applications are supplied on normal 3 1/2" diskettes.

Loading files into the TPS1000 instruments

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 .

It is absolutely necessary that the program files (*.prg) are be in the same directory as the language files (*.LSS) and the Prtxt220.LSS file.

Licence code

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.

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

1. Instrument does not switch on when "Utilities/View Applications + System..." option is selected. Inspect the cable connections and that the serial interface COM1 or COM2 has been set correctly.

2. Instrument does not switch to "ON-LINE-MODE (GeoCOM)" mode when "Utilities/View Applications + System..." option is selected. Make sure that the instrument is switched off before the "Utilities/View Applications + System..." option is activated.

3. Instrument does not switch to "ON-LINE-MODE (GeoCOM)" mode when "Utilities/View Applications + System..." option is selected; "MEASURE & RECORD" menu or another autostart application is displayed instead.

Carry out the following operations on the instrument:

until main menu is displayed.

General notes

Units in this manual

Preparation

Specifications within this manual always apply to the following units:

Units of length:

- in m (meters)

- in addition, within brackets in ft (feet)

Units of angle:

- in ° ' "

- in addition, within brackets in gon

Units of temperature:

- in °C

- in addition, within brackets in °F

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.

Settings

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.

If required, these user settings must be defined in

advance. For more information, please refer to section "User configuration" of "System" - user manual.

Data exchange If the settings in an application are altered, these

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.

Orientation and Height Transfer

Introduction

This manual describes the "Orientation and Height Transfer" program of the TPS SYSTEM 1000 theodolite series.

0°00'00"

PROG_Z01

The instrument must be set up on a known point. The program "ORIENT ATION" calculates an angular correction for the instruments horizontal circle, so that

0.0000 of the horizontal circle corresponds with grid

north (Orientation correction), using reference points with known Easting and Northing.

∆H

For simultaneous determination of the station elevation, height of instrument and height of reflector must already have been input and the elevation of the target points must be known.

The program handles a maximum of 10 points.
