1. INTRODUCTION

1.1 Introduction

Thank you for your first look at PowerTopoLite by reading this manual. The PowerTopoLite is a user friendly data collection and calculation program for the PENTAX R-400V Series Total Stations. PowerTopoLite is developed based on PowerTopo, which is known as a versatile on-board software for PENTAX ATS Series Total Stations. The optimum combination of PowerTopoLite and R-400V hardware makes PowerTopoLite an easy and useful fieldwork tool. The icon based main menu offers you the following possibilities.

• FILE MANAGER

• MEASURE

• VIEW AND EDIT

• FREE STATIONING

• STAKE OUT

• CALCULATIONS

• VIRTUAL PLANE MEASUREMENT

• REMOTE DISTANCE MEASUREMENT

• TRAVERSE

• TRANSFER

• PREFERENCE

1.2 Before using the PowerTopoLite manual

• Memories in the instrument

The R-400V series incorporates not only the PowerTopoLite 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 45.000 points of data.

• Relations between the Memory and each Function

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

• The PowerTopoLite manual mainly describes the R-400V special functions, and the basic operations are described in the (basic) R-400V manual. Therefore, refer to the R400V basic manual regarding the R-400V general instrument operations. The PowerTopoLite 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 “PowerTopoLite” or “Structure type” that takes over the functionality of our past product in ”Action Method Selection”.

• The R-400V series instrument has a Job name of “PENTAX” and “COGOPoint” as its default setting. Each data is stored under “PENTAX” 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 R-400V 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.

3.5 All Clear

Select 5. All Clear by pressing the down arrow key. Press [ENT] to view its screen.

Warning: When [CLEAR] is pushed, all Job Files are deleted.

NOTE: - Creating several new JOB Files and writing-in or rewriting data on the same

JOB Files repeatedly may cause the time of writing-in and rewriting of the data to be slower.

- Saving data when the memory capacity is almost full, and then deleting some JOB Files in order to secure open memory capacity, may cause the time of writing-in and rewriting the data to be slower.

- In case the time of writing-in or rewriting the data becomes slower, send the necessary data to PC for backup, then enter ‘All Clear’ in FILE MANAGER.

The above procedure will format the inside memory automatically and improve the time of writing-in and rewriting the data. Beware that all JOB Files will be deleted.

18

4. MEASURE

An operator can measure the Foresight Point Coordinates from the “Station Point Coordinates and Backsight Coordinates” or the “Station Point Coordinates and Azimuth”, and can store the Point Name and measured Coordinates in the memory. When the Coordinates of the Station Point and Backsight Point are already stored in the memory, the new Coordinates input can be omitted by calling or searching from the Point Name LIST. The Point Name is within 15 characters and the Coordinates are within 8 in integer and 3 in decimal number. There are two Coordinates types: Rectangular and Polar Coordinates in this [MEASURE]. The Offset at the Target Point Measurement is possible and the Remote Measurement, by aiming at any point, is possible as well when you select the Rectangular Coordinates.

An operator can perform the [MEASURE] function only when the Telescope is at the “Face left position”. Select the Target type before performing the [MEASURE]. After measuring rectangular coordinates by [MEASURE] function of PowerTopoLite, it is possible to display Angle and Distance by switching the [F3][ANG&DIST] key. When Remote Mode is selected, Angle and Distance are also calculated according to the Coordinates of the Aiming Point on real time. When offset mode is selected, Angle and Distance are also calculated according to the Coordinates where offset value is added.

The displayed Coordinates automatically change according to your aiming point. The Remote is a function of, so to speak, “Real-time offset”. If a reference point or offset point is measured, the Coordinates of your aiming point are calculated based on the reference plane. There are three calculation methods: Cylindrical face, Fixed plane and Rotated plane. They are selected by “13. Preference”. Refer to “13.5 Remote method selection”. The calculations are performed on the virtual planes.

To quit the Remote measurement, press [F1] [REMOTE] twice again.

4.5.2 Offset

Press the [F2] [OFFSET] to view the OFFSETS screen. Offset enables you to work with Offsets. The following offsets are available.

Press [ENT] to view the offset input window. Input the RO offset value by pressing keys. VO, DO and TO values are input in the same manner.

After input “TO” value, press [ENT] to view the MEASURE screen. (Or press [ESC] then press [ACCEPT].) The offset values are added to X, Y and Z values.

The input value of Offset is cleared when you save the surveying point and step forward to the next surveying point.

RO: Radial Offset (RO: On the horizontal plane. Offset P: Along the line of measurement, thus along the slope)

VO: Vertical Offset (Along the third axis)

DO: Distance Offset (Along the line of measurement, thus along the slope)

TO: Tangential offset (TO: On the horizontal plane, perpendicular to the horizontal line between Station and Point. Offset P: Along the slope)

4.5.3 Station

Press [F3] [STATION] to return to STATION POINT SETUP screen.

4.5.4 H. angle

Press [F4] [H.ANGLE] to return to STATION POINT H. ANGLE SETUP screen.

Press [ENT] to view the MEASURE screen.

• [BPRSET] key Deviation of Back Sight Point can be seen. Press [F1] [BPRSET] key to display BSP CONFIRM screen.

“Designed Data” represents the horizontal angle of the current Back Sight Point. “Calculated Data” represents the horizontal angle of the direction that R-400V is facing. “Deviation” represents deviation of “Calculated Data”.

If you accidentally move the instrument during the measurement, the amount of error can be checked on this screen. If the instrument is significantly moved, press [F4] [RESET] to reset Back Sight Point at the current position. If the amount of error is small, press [F5] [ENT] to return to MEASURE screen.

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

Press [F2] [MEAS] of the PowerTopoLite screen to view the MEASURE METHOD SELECTION screen.

Select 2. POLAR COORD. and press [ENT] to view the STATION POINT SETUP screen.
