Adding Custom Instrument Type Adding Custom Instrument Type Each Total Station has unique parameters. These parameters are viewable but non-editable in the TS Instruments window. However, you are able to add a user-defined instrument type(s) to the TS Instruments window, to display, to edit and to remove the instrument from the window. The custom instrument is stored in the user's folder and is saved after updating the version of the software.
How To 1. Click the Custom button in the Datum field of the Setup tab. This button is available when one of the None, UTMNorth, UTMSouth, UPS grid projections is selected in the Projection field. These projections allow you to use different datums. 2. The Custom Datums List window displays. In the window click the Add button to open the New Custom Datum window. The General tab of the New Custom Datum window contains all necessary fields to define a new custom datum.
Adding Custom Projection to the Projection List These parameters (shifts, rotations, and scale) specify a coordinate transformation from the newly created reference datum to WGS84 using the following equation: Click Ok in the New Custom Datum window to save the datum and close the window. The custom datum is automatically added to the datums list. To remove the custom datum, select the desired datum in the Custom Datums List window and click the Remove button.
How To Stereographic, Oblique Mercator Albers Equal Area, CassiniSoldner, Mercator). Every projection has its own set of original parameters. After selecting the type of projection, you can edit the parameters for this type. • Region –enter the name of the region for which the given projection will be used. You can use the existing regions (Africa, Asia, Australia, New Zealand, and so on) or enter a new name.
Performing Grid to Ground Transformation Properties command. The General tab of the geoid properties window contains information about the name, location, reference datum and bounds. To remove a geoid from the application, select the desired geoid in the Geoid List window and click the Remove button. Performing Grid to Ground Transformation The application supports two methods for setting the relation between Grid and Ground coordinate systems.
How To • Press to select the desired transformation method and set the corresponding parameters for each method: - If the you know the coordinates of a point in both coordinate systems (Grid and Ground) and also the rotation of these systems, then, to find the relation between the Grid to Ground coordinate systems, click the Ground Origin radio button in the Grid - Ground window: This method calculates an offset vector in the horizontal plane between coordinates of a point (let’s call this point the origi
Performing Grid to Ground Transformation coordinate system and vice versa. See Creating a ground projection relative to a point. - If the you know the value of the scale factor between grid and ground coordinate systems or the average height of the network, then to find the relation between Grid to Ground coordinate systems, click the Parameters radio button in the Grid-> Ground dialog window: This method calculates plane ground coordinates by scaling, offsetting, and rotation of grid coordinates.
How To Creating Ground by only rotation Grid Creating Ground by only shifting Grid After determining the relation between both coordinate systems, the application will recalculate ground coordinates from the grid coordinate system and vice versa. See Creating a ground projection relative to origin of a grid system. 176 MAGNET Tools ver 1.
Importing Control a Point to a Job Importing Control a Point to a Job The MAGNET Tools allows you to import a text coordinate file that does not contain information about the coordinate system and linear units. The file contains ONLY the values of coordinates. To import the point coordinates in the corresponding coordinate system, you have to: - know this coordinate system or projection, - set this coordinate system / projection as current before importing.
How To - select the desired projection (USA/SPC83/Ohia(North)) in the Projection field - select the desired datum (NAD83) in the Datum field - select the Control type for the given point in the Point type field 6. Click the Open button to start importing the file to the job and close the Import window. 7.
Append Point(s) to Line - Select the desired segment type for the line from the list of the Segment type field on the Append(s) Point to Line window: - Click a point on the Map View to append it to the line. The software automatically plots the selected segment type from the end point of the line to the point: - Click another point to append to the line. • Highlight the Point, then highlight the Line: - Highlight the desired point in Map View or on the Points tab. - Activate the function.
How To - Select the desired segment type for the line from the list of the Segment type field on the Append(s) Point to Line window: - Click a line on the Map View to append the point to this line. The software automatically plots the selected segment type from the end point of the line to the point: Click any line on the Map View to automatically append the selected point. • When finished, close the Append Point(s) to Line window to deactivate "append points" mode. Save the job.
Insert Point(s) to Line Insert Point(s) to Line This command is available when the job contains a line. To activate this function, select Insert Point(s) to Line command in the pop-up menu for the left/right panel of the Lines tab. The function inserts point(s) to the line segment.
How To The software automatically deletes the previous segment and creates two new segments: • Highlight the Point, then highlight the Line: - Highlight the desired point in Map View or on the Points tab. - Activate the function. The pointer will change ( ) and ‘insert point’ mode becomes active. - Select the desired segment type for the line from the list of the Segment type field on the Insert Point(s) to Line window: 182 MAGNET Tools ver 1.
Insert Point(s) to Line - Click a line on the Map View to insert the point to this line. The software automatically deletes the previous segment and creates two new segments: • When finished, close the Insert Point(s) to Line window to deactivate "insert points" mode. Save the job. MAGNET Tools ver 1.
Coordinates Geometry (COGO) Coordinates Geometry (COGO) This section contains one option: Inverse function. To run this function, use one of the following actions: - click Inverse button in the Toolbar - click COGO -> Inverse in Main Menu Inverse Function The inverse function computes the distance and azimuth between points of the job in the Ground/Grid/Datum coordinate systems.
Inverse Window Inverse Window The window is activated by clicking the Inverse icon from the Report tab of the MAGNET Tools ribbon. The Inverse function computes the distance and the azimuth between points of the job. Before calculating, select the corresponding point(s) in the From / To fields. There are three ways to specify a point in the field: • Enter the point name or enter point coordinates using format {123.456,322.778} for the Grid and/or Ground coordinate system and {11 12 14.555N, 07 08 09.
