LEICA LISCAD PackagesIt’s Easy with the Right Software

System Requirements:

Minimum:

Any PC that will effectively run Windows 95, 98, Me, NT2000, XP 30 MB of available disk space (typical installation)Super VGA (800 x 600) or higher resolution video adapterKeyboard or Mouse or compatible pointing deviceAppropriate interface port for data transfer

LISCAD performance will be enhanced when working with

larger data sets if either the Windows NT, 2000 or XP

operating systems are installed. Installing more memory

will also improve performance, as will a high performance

gaphics card with more graphics memory.

Easy to Learn, Easy to Use

All surveying and engineering tasks are covered from com-putations through adjustments to volume calculation andevaluation of digital terrain models (DTM). LISCAD runs onWindows 95, 98, Me, 2000 NT4.0 and XP. Its intuitive designmakes it easy to use whilst in-built tutorials and comprehen-sive documentation make it easy to learn. Behind all ofthis stands Leica Geosystems’ world-wide network ofrepresentatives providing best-in-class product support.

LISCAD can be customised

with any of the components

mentioned previously.

However, the most economi-

cal way to purchase LISCAD

is with a pre-configured

package.

LISCAD Lite

For those who don’t needthe full functionality andpower of LISCAD, there’s LISCAD Lite. Anincredibly economical wayto prepare field data forinput into a CAD system.

LISCAD Standard

For most applications.Includes Computatons, Input/Output, Adjustmentand Transformations.

LISCAD Professional

For the power user. As LISCAD Standard plusBackground Images,Modelling, Volumes,Profiles and Design.

LISCAD Education Network

For educational institutions.Runs on a network withmultiple users at any onetime. Benefits from a speci-al discount scheme andincludes all LISCAD compo-nents.

Upgrades

Upgrades from any pre-vious versions are possible.Ask your Leica Geosystemsrepresentative for furtherdetails.

"Microsoft, Windows,and the Windows logoare trademarks, or registered trademarks of Microsoft Corporationin the United Statesand/or other countries.”

Engeneering Design

The powerful condition based design system can easilygenerate design elements for building structures like damsand multi-lane highways.

Transformations

The transformationcomponent enablesyou to transformcoordinates betweencoordinate systems.Conformal, semi-affine, affine or unscaled methods are at your disposal.

All computed transformation parameters are reported andindependent weighting of coordinate pairs is also possible.

You’ve collected your data. The hard work is done. Or soyou think. Without the right software to process that data,you could end up in a real mess. LEICA LISCAD is a purpo-se made piece of software for the Engineer and Surveyor.Data from virtually any surveying instrument can be impor-ted and turned into finished plans so easily, you’ll wonderhow you ever managed without it.

Because LISCAD is purely a surveying and engineeringsoftware, you only pay for what you need. In contrast toadd-on packages for drawing programs, there are nosuperfluous functions that you will never use. The data-base has been designed with surveying and engineeringtasks specifically in mind. This means it’s faster. Data isimported straight in from Leica Geosystems instrumentswith no potentially disastrous reformatting.

LEICA LISCADDesigned by Surveyors and Engineers

Importing Data

This is where theoffice workbegins. Nearly 40different types ofdata recorder aresupported, inclu-ding all the wellknown brands.Furthermore, if your data

collector is not there, you can integrate your own specificinput/output program seamlessly into LISCAD.

A powerful user-definable translator enables you to easilytransfer ASCII data. Even traverse information can be auto-matically extracted and processed using one of a variety ofstandard adjustment techniques.

LEICA LISCADA Module for every Application

Adjustment

Good surveyorsnever measure apoint once only. For the utmostaccuracy, a leastsquares adjustmenthas to be per-formed. LISCADincludes a rigorous

least squares adjustment program to ensure the quality ofyour data. Flexibility is given with the possibility to per-form adjustments horizontally, vertically, or both. The comprehensive reporting means you’ll be able to spot outliers immediately.

Computations (COGO)

Create and edit and examine points, lines, splines, poly-gons, text and alignments. The WYSIWYG (What you see iswhat you get) graphics mean you always know exactlywhere you are. Moreover, a range of powerful computa-tion options for points, circles, arcs, splines and spiralssimplifies and speeds up your work. Create line segments,best fit lines or arcs through a series of existing points andcreate polygons for cadastral work. Its all so easy. All attri-butes attached to a point can be displayed through a singlemouse click. Editing of points can also be carried out enmasse by block, code, point range, description or group.

Modelling

Digital TerrainModelling reallyputs surveying soft-ware to the test.LISCAD leads theway with its model-ling method anddatabase design.Maximum speed is

assured and there are no limits in the software as to the number of points to be modelled. You have extensive control over the points to be included in themodel creation and how the contours are displayed.

Utilities

Configure LISCAD toyour personal prefe-rences. Set the units,colours, symbols,line styles, polygonsymbols and linehatching. Create andedit your own tool-bars, set the features

to be displayed and produce comprehensive reports. Codetables provide the key link between field productivity andthe information you need to provide to your client.Attributes are quickly and easily assigned to codes.

Volumes

Calculate quantitiesto a base datum, orbetween surfaces.Additionally, heightdifferences can alsobe calculated forevaluation or set-out on designprojects.

LEICA LISCAD CAD

The final part of thejigsaw, LISCAD CADgenerates your finalplan. A whole CADpackage that is specifi-cally tailored towardssurveying and map-ping, LISCAD CADcontains many advan-

ced features such as multiple window display of the samedrawing, import and export in DXF and DGN formats aswell as all the usual drawing and editing facilities normallyfound in CAD packages.

Resource Editor

A helpful tool thatenables you tocreate and editsymbols, lines sty-les and fonts. Usethis tool to furthercustomise LISCADto suit your ownway of working.

Background Images

Background Images, allows the import of aerial photo-graphs, satellite images and maps, which can be geo-referenced. This allows for the correlation of images to your vector geometry, as well as on-screen digitizing.

Profiles

Profiles is a verypowerful and compre-hensive tool for creating and editingsectional data for CAD output and endarea volumes. A multitude of outputformats are available

for the major CAD packages. Create long and cross sections from DTMs with full control over the viewing and labelling.

Cross sections can beset up so that the usercan step through thecross sections along an alignment or godirectly to a specificcross section.

Engeneering Design

The powerful condition based design system can easilygenerate design elements for building structures like damsand multi-lane highways.

Transformations

The transformationcomponent enablesyou to transformcoordinates betweencoordinate systems.Conformal, semi-affine, affine or unscaled methods are at your disposal.
