1. INTRODUCTION

1.1 Introduction

Thank you for your first look at LinertecExpress by reading this manual. The LinertecExpress is a user friendly data collection and calculation program for the LINERTEC LTS-200 Series Total Stations. LinertecExpress is developed based on PowerTopo, which is known as a versatile on-board software. The optimum combination of LinertecExpress and LTS-200 hardware makes LinertecExpress an easy and useful fieldwork tool. The icon based main menu offers you the following possibilities.

1. PRO: Program（RDM，REM，VPM）

2. I/O: Communication（Text read/write，USB，DATA Transfer）

3. PRE: Preference (Setup)

4. CALC: Calculations (COGO, 2D Surface, Road Design)

5. MEAS: Measurement

6. STAK: Stake out

7. FILE: File manager

8. DATA: Data

9. STATION: Free Station (Backward Intersection)

1.2 Before using the LinertecExpress manual

• Memories in the instrument

The LTS-200 series incorporates not only the LinertecExpress surveying programs as the Special Function but also File Manager and Data Transfer Programs.

The internal memory of the instrument can store a maximum of 60,000 points of data.

• Relations between the Memory and each Function

• IH stands for “Instrument Height” and PH stands for “Prism Height”.

• The LinertecExpress manual mainly describes the LTS-200 special functions, and the

basic operations are described in the (basic) LTS-200 manual. Therefore, refer to the LTS-200 basic manual regarding the LTS-200 general instrument operations. The LinertecExpress screens vary with the selections of the “Preference”. The factory default settings of the Preference are shown there. It is also possible to select “Process type” that takes over the functionality of “LinertecExpress” or “Structure type” that takes over the functionality of our past product in ”Action Method Selection”.

• The LTS-200 series instrument has a Job name of “LINERTEC” and “COGOPoint” as

its default setting. Each data is stored under “LINERTEC” unless another new Job name is created. When another Job name is created, each data is stored in the new Job name.

• The input range of the X, Y and Z Coordinate is “-99999999.998” - “99999999.998”.

• The input range of the Instrument and Prism height is “-9999.999” - “9999.999”.

• The PC, PointCodeList, is added to the PN, Coordinates X, Y, Z and IH (PH or IH)

and you can input your desired attributes for the point. If you have PointCodeList in the job named “PointCodeList”, you can easily select one of the PointCode from the list or edit one of them after pressing [ENT]. Please note, that Point Code, which is saved in the other job, can not be referred to as a list.

• There are two Coordinates types: Rectangular and Polar.

The RO, VO, DO, TO offset and the remote measurement are possible when you select the Rectangular Coordinates. The RO, DO offset is possible when you select the Polar Coordinates.

• When you measure in EDM SETTINGS of COARSE TRACKING, the LTS-200

displays a distance value to two decimal places. However, distance data of polar coordinates are displayed by EDIT function to three decimal places, and sent, to four decimal places. So, “0“ or “00” is added to the distance data after the third decimal point in COARSE TRACKING mode.

For example

Displayed value: 123.45 Displayed by EDIT: 123.450 Sent polar data: 123.4500

• Rectangular coordinates are displayed, stored, and sent to three decimal places even if

in COARSE TRACKING or FINE MEASURE mode.

• You can change the distance measurement mode during measuring operation by

pressing the EDM key at the MEASURE and VPM functions.

• The same Point Name of the plural polar points can be saved.

4.3.4 About DataLink DL-01 Software

DataLink DL-01 Software allows you to send collected data by LTS-200 to other devices, to receive coordinates data, and to convert the resulting files into a number of common formats.

a) Recommendation for "PN".

It is recommended that “PN” (Point Name) data should consist of less or equal to 4 (one-byte) numeric characters to convert files with DL-01. Because, it may not be converted properly if alphabetic characters or more than 5 (one-byte) numeric characters are used for the “PN”.

b) Notes for the data transferring.

Please be careful about following items for the data transfer with "DL-01".

b-1 Type of data, which can be transferred. With PTL, “POLAR DATA” can be transferred by “DC1” or “AUX” format. In addition, it is possible for DL-01 to receive/convert “POLAR DATA” with “DC1 (DC-1Z) ” format.

b-2 Notes for unit. If you are requested to select unit when you convert data on DL-01, please select unit according to the settings on LTS-200.

b-3 Limitation for each format. Please, use “CSV” or “DC1( DC-1Z)” format to transfer data to/from LTS-200.

Limitation for the "CSV" format. With the “CSV” format, “PN” and “PC (Point Code)”data that consists of less or equal to 15 (one-byte) characters can be transferred.

Limitations for the "DC1 (DC-1Z)" format.

With “DC1 (DC-1Z)” format, the length of “PN” data should consist of less or equal to 11 (one-byte) characters. And with the “DC1 (DC-1Z)” format “PC” data cannot be transferred.

• Circle Radius

• Line-Arc intersection

• Line-Line intersection

• Arc-Arc intersection

• Distance offset

• Point distance offset

• Arc distance offset

"COGOPoint" FILE

The LTS-200 series automatically creates “COGOPoint” file. In the file, the following 14 coordinates to be used in COGO function, are recorded.

SP Station Point EP End Point CO Coordinates P1 Point 1 P2 Point 2 P3 Point 3 CP Center Point S1 Start point 1 E1 End point 1 S2 Start point 2 E2 End point 2 C1 Center point 1 C2 Center point 2 OP Observation Point

The values recorded in "COGOPoint" are used as an initial value each time these values are input. These values are updated when the function, which uses these values, is carried out.

For instance, if you carry out Inverse, then carry out Distance offset later, the values of SP and EP which are input at Inverse will be initial values of SE and EP of Distance offset

which is carried out later. If you wish to input the initial value in advance, edit it by using “VIEW&EDIT of EDIT THE RECT. DATA. (Refer to “5.3 Edit the Data”).

Caution

As illustrated in Fig. 1, it is optimal to choose the known points P1 and P3. The instrument should be set up in such a manner so that the angle between P1 and P3 becomes 90°. The distances S1 and S2 should be similar.

The accuracy of a calculation result depends on the following:

1) The inner angle between known points is extremely small. See P1 and P2 on above Fig. 1.

2) The inner angle between known points is extremely large.

See P4 and P6 on above Fig. 1.

3) The distance from a new point to a known point is extremely short or extremely long.

4) A new point (station point) and three or more known points are arranged on the same circumference. See above Fig. 2.

When searching for a new point by free stationing and surveying by installing an instrument in the point, accuracy may not be stabilized compared with the case where an instrument is installed on a known point. In field work which needs a high-precision survey, we cannot recommend this method.
