5.1 Overview

Description Jobs

• structure surveying projects.

• contain all points, lines, areas and codes that are measured/recorded and stored.

• can be downloaded to LGO for post-processing or for data transfer to a further program.

• can be uploaded from LGO, for example, for (real-time) stakeout operations.

• can be stored on the data storage device or, if fitted, the internal memory.

Type of jobs • Data jobs. Explained in this chapter.

• DTM files. Refer to "50.6 Staking Out a DTM or Points & DTM".

•Road alignment files.

Default job A job called Default is available on the instrument after: formatting the memory device,

inserting a previously formatted data storage device or deleting all jobs from Job properties.

Working job The working job is the one data is stored to. One job is always considered the working job.

After formatting the memory device, the job Default is used until a user-defined job is
created and selected.
When a job becomes the working job, then the sort and filter settings of this job are saved
in the SystemRAM. If the data storage device is formatted then these last used sort and filter
settings are used for the job Default.

Scale page

Viva Series, Jobs & Data - Jobs 71

The geometric distance correction (geometric ppm) is derived from the map projection
distortion (map projection ppm), the height above reference datum correction (height ppm)
and an individual correction (individual ppm).

The calculation of the map projection ppm follows the formula for the Transversal Mercator
Projection. The individual factors are: the scale factor of the line of projection central
meridian, Gauss-Krüger = 1.0, UTM = 0.9996, etc. and the offset from the line of projection.
The calculation of the height ppm is derived from the height of the instrument station above
the reference datum. Normally this is the height above mean sea level MSL.

Viva Series, Jobs & Data - Jobs 74

• Scale at CM: 1,

• Map proj ppm: 0 and

• Ground height: 0.

Automatic calculation of the geometric ppm value

When Compute scale using: Stn & coord system:

• the ppm values for Map Proj ppm, Height ppm and Geometric ppm are automatically
calculated. The coordinates of the current instrument station stored in the internal
memory are used, which are based on the currently active coordinate system.

• each time an application is accessed, the geometric ppm value is automatically calcu­lated. The coordinates of the current instrument station stored in the internal
memory are used (these coordinates may have been updated), which are based on
the currently active coordinate system (this coordinate system may have changed).
This way, the user is always working with the correct geometric ppm value.

• when the <None> coordinate system is chosen, then the geometric ppm value cannot
be automatically calculated. A message will appear, allowing the user to either manu­ally enter the ppm values or accept ppm values of 0.
