I am working with Carlson SurvCE  Version 5.07 on the Carlson Tablet Data Collector. I work in the Transportation field, and use the roading feature daily. When in the Stake Road function, I am having issues using the reference object setting when staking by a section file, ie staking the Finish grade for an EP and also Staking the Back of Curb, Back of Curb being my reference object selected. The issue I keep having is that when selecting the reference object, it locks up the data collector. I have a work around as in going into the section file and obtaining the back of curb elevation and punching that elevation in once I have stored the shot. It is a bit time consuming from a construction stand point and I am not the only on in my company that is having this issue. I was just wondering if anyone else has had this issue, and if so what was the fix. We keep checking for updates, but have not seen any.

Thanks

When I set up my BRx7 system for base & rover, my base remains on autonomous. Is this normal?

Hi can anyone please help. I am splitting a large cadastral layout into managable portions. After doing the initial site localisation I want to use this same localisation file for each of the portions as separate surveys without revisiting all the points used in the localisation yet starting each portion as a new job. Is this possible? I thought of doing the localisation as a job then saving it to the pc, then renaming this file for each of the portions of 100+ plots being surveyed

With this excel file you can calculate Distance and Bearing easily, just you have to input the Easting and Northing values only.Download Link

Can somebody tell me how to create road profile in autocad  with using only existing levels

With the attached excel files you can calculate Distance and Bearing from coordinates easily, just you have to input the Easting and Northing values only. I have created this excel spreadsheet to calculate BEARING and DISTANCE when we have easting northing coordinates of points.

With second version (v1APR)  you can calculate bearings from a list of coordinates) Originally the above file is regarding Traverse Calculation excel sheet download/Traversing/Closed Traverse/Bowditch Rule

This excel program was designed to compute the other point coordinates by input the first point coordinate, distance and bearing. It also determine the covered area and computed coordinates can be plotted in AutoCAD directly. EnjoyFORWARD COMPUTATION Ver 1....xlsm

LOOKING FOR A CONVERTER TO CONVERT XML DATA INTO EXCEL

good evening all,

im looking for manuals, info, brochures... anything for our Trimble TTS 500. I recently acquired one of these with TSC1. I have searched and searched everywhere and nothing. Any help would be great! 

I tried the SX10 this week.   Has anyone else.

What is the difference between Track and STD mode on the S6? I cannot find any information on the S6 settings.

I have a Trimble S6 with TSC2 running Survey Controller 12.50. When I stake out a point I get the dynamic readout (go in, go right, etc.), but after a few seconds the collector stops the dynamic reading and I have to press the "Measure" button until I have reached the point's location. Does anyone know where the setting is for this?

Thanks, Dan

Hi,

Can anybody tell me is Trimble 5503 Total Station working with auto lock using Remote Target 602 (Trimble)?

Instrument has no radio on board, only servo. 

Thanks!

DOES ANYBODY KNOW OF A INSTRUMENT REPAIR FACILITY THAT WILL WORK ON THESE? PREFERABLY IN S.C.. THE TRIMBLE PEOPLE DON'T SUPPORT IT ANYMORE. THEY WILL WORK ON THEM BUT THEY ONLY REPLACE PARTS, WHICH ARE GETTING HARD TO FIND. THEY WON'T TRY TO FIX A COMPONENT.

Hi every body

I have 2 GPS 530 Leica.But one of them do not give enough satellite  for fixing.And i set up firmware 5.1 and i changed Antenna but again did not give more than 4 satellite.Please tell me how can i do.

THANKS.

I  have a Leica tcr407 total station and would like some insight as well as an older firmware version.  I made a boo-boo and used wrong class when uploading and my machine is giving weak signal error 6.  eica said maybe upload a different version of firmware.  If anyone has this knowlege or the resource please advise.  Thanks

has anyone successfully loaded a current almanac onto a Leica GX1230 receiver. I have tried to force it to initilise via Config - satttelited - Shift F4 but no luck.

Am trying to use the old fashioned RTK with GSM. I use a GX1230 with Siemens M20 (GX1230 Tech Ref Manual lists M20 as a supported model). Connected the M20 to Port1, configured the Real Time Interface with Port1 and Siemens M20 that shows up by default in Smartworx with factory default AT commands. I create a Config Set for Rover, all done and Smartworx shows messages, 1. Config Set saved, 2. Port1: No response from GSM and 3.Port1: GSM Initialised. The SIM I use has both voice and data from the service provider. I do not have a Network RTK Infrastructure, so I am doing a Single Base to Single Rover RTK. Under Additional Rover Option, Accept Reference is "Any Received" and Ref Network is "None" (as I dont have a Network RTK Infrastructure).

Begin Survey, Press F3 CONEC, Screen shows Dialling 'mobile number', and immediately, it throws up 'Connection interrupted' error in Smartworx.

When I use AT commands on M20, I am able to call my mobile (rings) and from my mobile to the M20 unit, smartworx displays connection established. But its when I dial via smartworx, from Rover to Base, smartworx throws up this error almost immediately. Have struggled with it for 2 weeks.

Appreciate if you can throw some light. Thank you.

Good afternoon,

I am just about to launch a new small business called Ground Control Surveys.

I live in Sydney, Australia.

The business will offer both UAV Mapping and Processing. 

Having read a whole lot of forums over the last few years, I have seen that there are a large number of people who want to take advantage of UAV's for mapping, but who don't have the time to experiment with all the processing software/s. 

For those local to my area, I can fly the drone (Licensed CASA pilot) and process the images.

But for those who may be interstate or overseas; I am more than happy to process the imagery that you may have taken.

I can also discuss the flight planning, ground control placement, camera settings etc with you, to ensure the imagery is of sufficient quality. 

I have refined the process over the last 2 years and have found that Photoscan allows for the most customisation, which, done correctly, leads to the most accurate results; however, if you require the imagery processed in similar software, that can usually be arranged. 

If anyone would like to know more, I can share with you my past projects and the accuracy analysis.

I can also assist with the analysis after the processing is complete eg. categorising the point cloud, creating a bare-Earth model, generating contours and exporting them as a DXF, creating a 10 x 10m grid and sampling heights at these locations etc.

Don't hesitate to ask any questions, I'm happy to share some quick tips on this or any related topics (QGIS, GlobalMapper etc).

Kind regards,

James Wallace

Hi Guys 

I got my photo control and processing all figured out for Normal projects with good geometry but im having a hard time figuring out how to place and space control points for narrow road strip.

Check out this collection of Drone Surveying Videos for learning the basics related to surveying with UAVs and Drones.

We have recently acquired an eBee plus and interested in others experience and tips in optimizing the workflow in Agisoft, in particular using a geoid model where the local geoid model is not well defined (outside South Africa) We always use accurate ground control points to verify results. The geoid model is fairly well defined in South Africa with an accuracy or standard deviation of 7cm. Has anyone used a geoid specific to Africa and verified against true orthometric heights, and if so where?

I stumbled across a terrific resource called Drone Made which outlines the legality of operating drones in pretty much all countries of the world. Following drone rules can be a hard thing to do, especially if you are continuously travelling. We are a community of travellers from all around the world & created the first truly global and up to date Drone Laws World Map(s)!

Hello to all new Pentax members and any one else who is interested. My Pentax R235N has been tampered with by "others" and the settings are all mixed up.

What I need to know is what is the default settings for the UK.

I would call myself a "novice to capable" surveyor with no peers or associates to get help from, this is why I'm posting this request on LSU.

I have attached the Pentax options for Coordinate axis definition.

I look forward to any pointers and suggestions to resolve this problem.

Hi,

Hello Group,i imported a used Pentax labeled R-330c which i found out after importation that its in Japanese language and its very expensive to return it to Japan. please dear Group can someone help me with ideas how to change it to English?

This little baby just got me out of a pinch.  I figured I would share this Pentax R-400 Operators Manual with you guys in case you need it..

Hello there

I am very happy to have found this website and hope somebody is able to help me with the following:

I bought an TOPCON GTS-6B from a company that sells refurbished units and I have not been able to download my data files to a laptop. The provided manual (a scanned copy, very basic & limited) does not cover this subject at all. I need to solve this problem in the next couple of days but unfortunately we just entered a bank weekend Holiday. 

There is a 64 SRAM card inside the unit that stores the data, and I have been provided with a RS232 to USB connection cable. When I connect the total station and computer, my device manager (Windows 10) recognises there is a RS232-USB connection present. (at least that's the ONLY positive thing)

I have also been provided with a very old piece of software (1999) called T-COM version 1.1 which only shows download options for these machines:  1] GTS-700/710/800 and 2] GTS210/310/1000,

The GTS-6B is not showing here but I assume it should still work?  When I click download (either 1 or 2) the program just responds with ("download in progress" (which shows for less than a second)...and then showing:..."no response")

I suspect that I somehow need to use item [MENU page 3/3] as the following options are displayed

1: RAM PROGRAM
2: COMPUTER COM

I guess I need to select 2: (as I want to communicate with a computer?) , from there I get to the next screen showing:

1: SEND DATA
2: LOAD CORDS

When I select 1: it brings me to the next screen and shows  1: DATA1.D which should be my data file. When I select it and click START it says "sending" but I don't know where its sending it to as I cant see an option to set the T-COM program into receive mode.

I suspect that if they provided a RS232 - USB cable and software with download options I should be able to directly read the data from the card whilst it is sitting in the Total station.

Somebody told me I better buy a card reader but what type? Its a very old one and only reads TOPCON 64Kb and SRAM, it has 38 pinhole connectors. (female) I have attached some pics. There are no specifications for this card provided and I have no clue what reader would work and what  I should buy (and where, I prefer amazon prime)

I am getting pretty desperate so really hope there is somebody out there able to help me

I would really appreciate it in any case!

Thanks in advance

Hey all, does anybody know where I can get a Topcon AG2 User's Manual? Thanks Bernie

Good evening everyone,

I'm a geophysicist who needs to carry out topographic surveys from time to time. I have a Topcon Imaging Total Station - an IS303 - and with I have carried out successful surveys and scans - but only ever from a single known location.

Now I have a serious and urgent problem and I would be grateful if anyone can help me.

I carried out a survey of a mosaic which forms part of the floor of a cathedral. The mosaic is within a complicated room with immobile structures in the middle. It was necessary to scan from five locations within the room in order to cover the whole floor. At each scan location I recorded the position of the IS303 by resection from a set of points marked on the walls - a fairly normal procedure.

But now I can't get the Topcon software - Image Master - to assemble the separate scans. What it seems to need, and what I didn't record, was a set of backsights, one for each scan location, to a specific reference point. I have no idea why the system would need such a backsight. After all, resection to a set of points is much more secure than a single backsight. I have tried recalculating what angles and distances a backsight would give and editing the IS files accordingly. That only solves part of the problem and, boy, is this a cumbersome approach.

So does anyone out there have experience using the IS303 and Image Master software, combining multiple scans into a single model (with photographs taken by the IS itself)?

This seems to me to be such a routine requirement that I have to believe that someone out there can help. This is exactly the kind of thing which the IS303 was designed to do. Yet Topcon UK seem to be unable to help because they regard this as too old-fashined technology and don't even have the hardware and software themselves.

Kind regards,

David Jordan

Hello everybody!

first of all, I want to thank you for giving me the opportunity to write here my questions and doubts about Topcon devices.

I will try to explain what is my problem here below...

I have a DWG file which contains just a 3d polyline, but when i try to import the layers of the file nothing appears on the map (when i import the layer it recognize that there is a polyline but after clicking "finish" that line is not visualized).

my questions is... Do i miss something? How can I import the 3d polyline from dwg file?
P.S: I can open the dwg file from 3d-office and see the polyline.

Thanks in advance.

Karim

HI

Dear friends

I have a Sokkia SRX3 Robotic Total Station and a RC-PR4 remote but I cant connect them together. I have connected the RC-PR4 with my Controler but it cont be connected with the SRX3.

The SRX3 can be connented with my controler and works without RC-PR4.

What can I do to connect them together

One of our members had requested a Sokkia SX Series Total Station Manual .  I managed to dig one up..

Please download below:

Hi all,

I have TDS Rrecon without bluetooth and i connect to my GSR2700 ISX trought cable. SurvCE log this reciever, then i select internal GSM and make NTRIP connection. Controler recieve list of base stations but and succesfuly connect to reciver at te end. When i try to survey it stays in auto mode do not recieve fix position. CAn enybode tell my why i have this problem?

Thanks

Surveyor from the network asked if I might be able to dig up a Sokkia 2LS Cygnus KS-102 manual for his Sokkia Total Station.  It wasn't easy to find but i managed to find one to share for support.

HELLO THERE!!! I'm Roberta ...I'm a surveyor working at Mes Aynak Archaeological Project in Afghanistan.i started this new job last week..and found myself not being able to download survey data..prevoius surveyor who bought two Nikon DTM 322 didn't leave any software to download the data (or deleted it before going away ...how nice!!). I am really not familiar with this machines ..I always been using Leica as it's the most popular in Europe for archaeological work. I managed to get the drivers for the Prolific usb serial port. Reading prevoius forums I understand there is a software called Transit to download the data, is this correct?Does anybody out there knows where can i get it?(as it seems to be very hard to find in the net). Or does anybody knows if i can alternatively use another software?? I hope somebody can help as this is becoming very frustrating.....

The Nikon DTM-400 Series Total Station has Dual display (large 4-line), dual-axis compensation, 30x telescope, on-board memory (2,000 points), alpha-numeric keyboard, lumi-guide....what's not to like?!! The DTM-400 series represented the beginning of the modern era in total station design by Nikon. Sophisticated software and electronic technology combines with superior Nikon optics and ease of operation to produce one great instrument. Angles are read to 1" (2" accuracy) and distances can be measured up to 11,800 feet with a triple prism. Built-in programs include station set-up, XYZ measurement, RDM, stakeout, REM, and COGO calculation; of course, a standard RS232 data port allows you to connect to an external data collector, or to download data to your PC.

Hi Nikon Forum,

My surveyor sent me a raw data downloaded from Niko DTN-352  Version "Nikon RAW data format V2.00". The raw data are obtained from traverse measurement with repetitive angle and slope distance accordingly. below, I copy some data :

After couple side shots, surveyor measured repetitive distance on traverse points PC119 and PC121 with the following order :

1. shot "direct" @PC119  >> shot "inverse" @PC119

3. shot "direct" @PC119  >> shot "inverse" @PC119

4. shot "inverse" @PC121 shot "direct" @PC121

Questions:

1. How to set point number on SS @PC119 is always recorded as pntNo# 1 and @PC121 as pntNo# 69 on field (inputted in Total Station)? usually, i edit on "transit editor" manually.

2. How to set or method of measurement using Nikon total station in order to while exporting nikon raw data to fieldbook (autodesk survey format) will get the following format:

I just started with a steel erection company that had no previous in house surveyor. They gave me their Nikon NPL-352 and peanut prism to conduct anchor bolt surveys to verify correct location. 

While conducting my survey, toward the end of the day and at the furthest distance of my survey, about 200', I was running into errors of about 1 inch. I took the Nikon in for a much needed calibration and the shop said nothing was too far out, I think they said 8'' I can't remember what way though. I also purchased a proper back sight prism with tripod, tribach, and adapter. 

The next day when I was in the field I back sighted to my prism, surveyed for approximation 3 hours, temperature rose about 15*f, back sighted on my prism and it was off more then 5/8 of an inch, everything was level and nothing moved. So I re-shot my back sight and went on my way. 

My questions are:

Is there something potentially wrong with my Nikon?

What could I do to further check potential problems?

Or is this a normal thing for Nikon/all total stations?

How can I minimize this error?

Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated.

Thanks, 

Patrick 

I'm using a Nikon NPL-332 total station to perform topographic surveys, and I would like to learn how to shoot points with an offset. For example, I would like to hold the prism beside a tree to establish the distance, then turn the instrument to the centerline of the tree to establish the actual position of the point. Is this possible with the built-in Nikon software?

Respected sir,

          Please help me to transform the latlon coordinates to UTM manually how can i solve it manually

THANK YOY

Hi,

I am currently using starnet V6 and I am having a problem. Tried searching through the manuals and online help but no such luck. 

Currently I have a two traverse loops; One loop is the original loop which was done many years back, the second loop was recently done and contains part of the original loop and was done using assumed bearing and coordinates. I would like to know how to do a transformation of the loops and also find out the residuals of the original loop to know how much they have moved. 

hi. i hope there are people out there using embedded cad and can answer questions i can't find in there wonderful videos. 

we are converting over from the great antique land desktop 3. been using it for 20 years now but need to upgrade our survey software. i don't want to use civil 3d.

we have field genius and love it so we went with embedded cad. my biggest question is points. i just want to change the node from a dot to an X. they show you how in the intellicad version but not for embedded cad, popups don't look the same
