The active job is the one data is stored to. One job is always considered the active job. After
formatting the memory device, the job Default is used until a user defined job is created and
selected.
When a job becomes active, then the sort and filter settings of this job are saved in the
SystemRAM. If the CompactFlash card is formatted then these last used sort and filter
settings are used for the job Default.

Terminology

Description

•

This chapter describes technical terms related to data management.

Coordinate triplet

•

A measured point consists of three coordinate components - two horizontal components
and one vertical component. The generic term for the three coordinate components is
coordinate triplet.
Depending on the class, a point ID can contain more than one coordinate triplet of the
same and/or of different classes.

•
Class

The class describes the type of coordinate triplet.

In order to check measurements, the same point can be measured more than once.
These measured points are assigned the class MEAS. The various measured coordinate
triplets for one point can be recorded using the same point ID. If the averaging mode is
activated, an average is calculated when more than one measured coordinate triplet is
available for the same point ID.
The averaged point is given the class AVGE. It is checked if the deviations of each single
point are within the limits configured in MANAGE New Job, Avge page or in MANAGE
Edit Job: Job Name, Avge page.
After averaging, the Mean page becomes available in MANAGE Edit Point: Point ID and
accessible from the Survey application program SURVEY Survey: Job Name, Survey
page.
Available functionality on the Mean page depends on the selected averaging mode.

Averaging Mode
The averaging mode defines the checks which are performed when more than one set of
measured coordinates are recorded for the same point. The selected averaging mode also
affects the behaviour of the instrument when editing a point and calculating averages.
Defining the averaging mode and configuring the limits
The averaging mode and the limits are configured in MANAGE New Job, Avge page or in
MANAGE Edit Job: Job Name, Avge page. Refer to "5.3 Creating a New Job" and to "5.4
Editing a Job".

mode

Description

Average

When more than one measured coordinate triplet is recorded for the same
point, the average for the position and the height is computed. Depending
on the selected averaging method, the average will be computed weighted
or arithmetic (no weighting). The class AVGE is assigned to the averaged
point.
The horizontal and height distances from the measured points to the
average are computed and displayed on the Mean page.
A check is performed that the differences for the position and height
components between the averaged point and the point being stored does
not exceed the defined limits.

Absolute Diffs What is described above for Average applies for Absolute Diffs.
Additionally, the absolute difference between two points selected from a
list of measured points which are all stored with the same point ID are
computed and checked for being within the defined limits.
Off

Averaging functionality is turned off.
With more than one measured coordinate triplet recorded for the same
point, no average for the position and the height is computed.

Averaging with position only or height only points
Position only points, height only points and points with full coordinate triplets are handled in
the averaging.

Terminology

Description

This chapter describes technical terms related to codes and codelists.
The values for code groups, codes and attributes are case sensitive. For example the code
group Tree is not the same as the code group TREE.

Object

For coding, points, lines and areas have the same behaviour. In this chapter, object is used
as generic term for points, lines and areas.

Code group

A code group allows codes belonging to the same theme to be grouped together. Individual
groups can be activated or deactivated. The codes belonging to a deactivated code group
cannot be selected from the choicelist for code selection.

Code

Overview

Description

A code is a description which can be stored with a point, line, area or alone.
Coding on TPS1200+/TS30/TM30 is very flexible with thematical, free and quick coding
being available. Thematical and free coding is possible by selecting codes from a codelist or
by directly typing in codes. SmartCodes are a quick way for a code to be stored with a point
to be selected and to be measured.
For coding, points, lines and areas have the same behaviour. In this chapter, the word object
is used as a generic term for points, lines and areas.

Overview

Using coordinate
systems on TPS

Coordinate systems are used on TPS1200+/TS30/TM30 instruments to combine GPS1200+
data with TPS1200+/TS30/TM30 data.

Description

A coordinate system
• consists of up to five elements.
• allows the conversion from WGS 1984 geodetic or cartesian coordinates to local cartesian, geodetic or grid coordinates and back.
• can be attached to jobs.
• can be defined.
• can be computed in the field.
• can be downloaded to LGO.
• can be uploaded from LGO.
The geometric ppm and atmospheric ppm to reduce the raw distances measured with an
EDM are completely independent from any coordinate system. An attached coordinate
system is not used to reduce any measured distance on a TPS1200+/TS30/TM30 instrument.
Points surveyed with a TPS1200+/TS30/TM30 instrument are always stored in local GRID
coordinates regardless of the coordinate system being used.
GPS surveyed points are always stored as WGS 1984 geodetic coordinates regardless of
the coordinate system being used.

Manage...\Coordinate Systems

TPS1200+/TS30/TM30

207

Using a different coordinate system converts the coordinates displayed on the screen, but
does not convert and restore the coordinate values in the database DB-X.
One coordinate system can be attached to a job at one time. This coordinate system remains
attached to the job unless it is changed.
Elements of coordinate
system

The five elements which define a coordinate system are:
• a transformation
• a projection
• an ellipsoid
• a geoid model
• a Country Specific Coordinate System model

Default coordinate
systems

TPS1200+/TS30/TM30 and GPS1200+ have different default coordinate systems. They
cannot be deleted.
Additional default coordinate systems may be available for certain countries.

Coordinate system


 is the default coordinate system on a TPS1200+/TS30/TM30 instrument. It is not
possible to create a coordinate system called .

Coordinate system
WGS 1984

WGS 1984 is the global geocentric datum to which all GPS positioning information is referred
to. WGS 1984 is the default coordinate system on a GPS1200+ receiver. It is not possible to
create a coordinate system called WGS 1984.

Active coordinate
system

The active coordinate system is the one attached to the job currently being used. One coordinate system is always considered as the active coordinate system.

RTCM coordinate
system

For  configured in CONFIGURE Additional Rover Settings the
coordinate system is directly received from the reference network. Refer to "22.1.2 Configuration of GGA Message Sending for Ref Network Applications". It is not possible to delete
this coordinate system when it is active. Refer to "Active coordinate system".

Coordinate systems
when transferring jobs
between GPS and TPS

When transferring a job from TPS1200+/TS30/TM30 to GPS1200+, or vice-versa, the coordinate system stays attached to the job and appears like any other coordinate system on the
instrument.

Terminology

Transformation

Refer to "38.1 Overview" for information on transformations.

Geoid model

Description
GPS operates on the WGS 1984 ellipsoid and all heights obtained by measuring baselines
are ellipsoidal heights. Existing heights are usually orthometric heights, also called height
above the geoid, height above mean sea level or leveled height. The mean sea level corresponds to a surface known as the geoid. The relation between ellipsoidal height and orthometric height is
Orthometric Height = Ellipsoidal Height - Geoid Separation N

TPS1200+/TS30/TM30

211

N value and geoid model
The geoid separation (N value) is the distance between the geoid and the reference ellipsoid.
It may refer to the WGS 1984 or to the local ellipsoid. It is not a constant except over maybe
small flat areas such as 5 km x 5 km. Therefore it is necessary to model the N value in order
to obtain accurate orthometric heights. The modelled N values form a geoid model for an
area. With a geoid model attached to a coordinate system, N values for the measured points
can be determined. Ellipsoidal heights can be converted to orthometric heights and back.
Refer to the online help of LGO for more information on geoid models.
Geoid models are an approximation of the N value. In terms of accuracy, they may vary
considerably and global models in particular should be used with caution. If the accuracy of
the geoid model is not known it might be safer to use local control points with orthometric
heights and apply a transformation to approximate the local geoid.
Geoid field file

Geoid field files may be used in the field to calculate orthometric heights out of ellipsoidal
heights and vice versa.

CSCS model

Description
Country Specific Coordinate System models
• are tables of correction values to directly convert coordinates from WGS 1984 to local
grid without the need of transformation parameters.
• take the distortions of the mapping system into account.
• are an addition to an already defined coordinate system.
Types of CSCS models
The correction values of a CSCS model can be applied at different stages in the coordinate
conversion process. Depending on this stage, a CSCS model works differently. Three types

Manage...\Coordinate Systems

TPS1200+/TS30/TM30

212

of CSCS models are supported by TPS1200+/TS30/TM30. Their conversion process is as
explained in the following table. Any suitable geoid model can be combined with a geodetic
CSCS model. Refer to the online help of LGO for more information on CSCS models.
Type

CSCS field file

Description

Grid

1. Determination of preliminary grid coordinates by applying the specified
transformation, ellipsoid and map projection.
2. Determination of the final local grid coordinates by applying a shift in
Easting and Northing interpolated in the grid file of the CSCS model.

Cartesian

1. Performing the specified transformation.
2. Determination of local cartesian coordinates by applying a 3D shift interpolated in the grid file of the CSCS model.
3. Determination of the final local grid coordinates by applying the specified
local ellipsoid and map projection.

Geodetic

1. Determination of local geodetic coordinates by applying a correction in
latitude and longitude interpolated from the file of the CSCS model.
2. Determination of the final local grid coordinates by applying the local
map projection.
Using a geodetic CSCS model excludes the use of a transformation in
a coordinate system.

CSCS field files may be used in the field. They are extracted from the main CSCS model,
which may be too big to fit on the instrument.

Description of the
default ID templates

ID templates are predefined templates for point, line or area numbers. ID templates save
having to type in the ID for each object. They are useful when many points are collected.
ID templates that are selected to be used suggest ID’s for Point ID, Line ID and Area ID
whenever points, lines and areas are to be surveyed.

Default ID Template Description

Default ID Template Description
No Template Used

•

The last point ID during a survey will be displayed. This ID is automatically incremented if it contains numerical characters. If this ID
is overwritten, the auto increment starts from the new ID. The
automatic incrementation can be turned off when editing this ID
template. Refer to "16.1.4 Editing an ID Template".

Time & Date

•

The current local time and date is the ID.

Use Code&String

•

Allows the line/area ID assigned to a line/area object to be based
on the code related to the line/area.
• If line/area codes are being used then the line/area code is
used as part of the line/area ID.
• If point codes are being used then the point code is used as part
of the line/area ID.
• If attributes/strings are not being used then the numerical part
of the line/area ID is automatically incremented.

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.
