1.Function Features

This section explains features, internal data handling, and key concepts.The concepts are useful for understanding practical applications of the software and increasing work efficiency. Please read over this section before working in the field.

1.1 Coordinate Data Management

In addition to storing coordinate data as three-dimensional information, the software appends other useful information to it.As you become familiar with how to operate the software, try using the additional functions available.

(1) Data Classification Management

Generally, coordinate data is mixed in with observed points as well as design data such as stakeout and occupied points.TopSURV OnBoard for IS manages these different types of data so they are easy to identify.For example, when outputting data, you can specify the type of output that you want, such as observed coordinates, recorded stakeout coordinates, or coordinates from applied calculations. Also, when you display the coordinates list, symbols indicate the purpose each set of coordinates was made for. The high level of software automation means you can concentrate on survey work rather than worrying about software operation.

1. Function


10

Automated management.Other than control points, the software automatically manages the below items.

• Design points: Coordinates inputted from outside sources such as a memory card or a computer.

• Control points: Special coordinates recognized by the user and specified as such when registering. Includes reference points.

• Applied calculation points: Coordinates created from applied calculations.

• Observation points: Coordinates registered during observation.Because these points are linked with observed data, their coordinate values (X, Y and elevation) cannot be directly edited, though the points themselves can be deleted.

• Offset Points: Not supported yet.

• Reflector-less points: Coordinates of point measured by Reflector-less measurement.

• Back Points: Coordinates set for a point behind the occupied point.

• Measured after Set out: Coordinates measured after setting out. The operator can select whether to record them.

1. Function


11

• Recorded stakeout points: Coordinates that were recorded during stakeout. The observer chooses whether to record these coordinates during stakeout and observation.

• Comparison points: Coordinates created when the same point is measured multiple times. Ex.) Measure Point T1, then measure again T1.If these 2 data to be recorded under the same point name, it will be recorded as comparison point. The discrepancy of 2nd measurement compared to the 1st measurement will be recorded as (dx, dy, dz).This measurement can be repeated without limitation.

• Manual input points: Coordinates entered by hand.

Tape measure coordinate points: Coordinates found by observations using a tape measure. For details on this type of observation, please consult the Tape Measure Coordinate section under Topo Observation in Section 2. Observation.

(2) Coordinate Code Management

Coordinate codes can be appended to coordinates as needed.Use for coordinate codes include the following:1. Connecting lines during an observation

Coordinate codes are used to draw lines while making an observation.A connection code is combined with a coordinate code to make a line.

1. Function


12

Consult "Creating Line Data" on the next page for further details.

2. CAD DisplayA coordinate code is used to display a coordinate code (attribute) on CAD systems. Coordinate codes inputted during an observation can be verified on CAD systems.Note: Only DXF and Land XML are supported.

3. Data ExtractionA coordinate code is used to simultaneously extract multiple points from coordinate data. For example, you can specify a certain coordinate code to extract all the coordinate points having that code.The extracted points can then be made into a coordinate list or erased as a batch.

4. Managing the Order of StakeoutsA coordinate code is used to sequence stakeouts according to the coordinate and connection codes. The next stakeout point shown is as per the connection code and the coordinate code.

(3) Coordinate Lists

This function is for extracting desired points from coordinate data and managing them independently.Coordinate lists are used for area calculations, ST calculations, and stakeouts.

(4) Line Lists

Line data created during an observation is automatically recorded in this list. With line lists, you can change the order of observed points for line connections as well as delete and add points.

1. Function


13

(5) Layer

Coordinates data an be classify and displayed for each layer in a job.

Use layer system in case that data is to be displayed partially on 2D Map.

1.2 Creating Line Data

Line data is made by extracting connecting points in the coordinate data, and is recorded in a line list described above. After creating a set of line data, its name is displayed on the line list composed of a combination of the coordinate code and connection code used during observation. Even if data is deleted from the line list, it will remain intact in the database as coordinate data. This is because the line list is managed using point name relationships, not the coordinates themselves.Therefore, one coordinate point can be used in multiple lines, and instances of lines used multiple times can be deleted.To protect coordinate points used in the line list, a warning message is given if an attempt is made to delete one. (Selecting OK will result in deletion.)

Next, the procedure and concept behind creating lines are described. Either manual or automatic input of the coordinate code and connection code may be used when creating a line, though the conditions are the same either way.

1. Function

15

Coordinate code and connection code input examples:For connecting points into a line, the following scenarios are valid:(1) Connecting points with the same coordinate and

connection codes(2) Connecting points with the same coordinate and

connection codes in the order observed (as one connected line)

(3) If the coordinate code is the same, but the connection code is different for two points, separate lines will be drawn.

(4) Including one point in multiple lines. In this case, the point must have one coordinate code and one connection code for each line the point is in. This is done using the multi-coordinate code function.

(5) Using the control code to connect (close) the end of a line to its starting point.Although coordinate codes can be input during an observation, it may be easier to input them ahead of time.

To enter a coordinate code, select [Edit] - [Coordinate Code] from the main menu.

Figure 1-6. Codes-Attributes (Edit point code)

Here, we will add a coordinate code called "ROAD" to a point. On the [Codes-Attributes] screen, press the [Add] button on the left hand side. This will switch the display to the [Code] input screen.

Figure 1-7. Code

Enter "ROAD" in the box next for the coordinate code name. Next, select the necessary line characteristics (format, width and color) and coordinate point characteristics (data attributes and color). The line and observation points will be displayed in a two-dimensional map using the selected line and point name characteristics.

1. Function


17

To change the color of the lines or coordinates, press the [...] button. This will bring up the color selection input screen for coordinate codes.Select the display color for lines and points and press [OK]. This will bring you back to the [Code] input screen. The selected colors will be applied to lines and points.When you are finished inputting coordinate codes, press the [OK] button. This will return you to the [Codes-Attributes] screen.

Figure 1-8. Codes-Attributes

You can now see that the "ROAD" that you entered is displayed in the coordinate code list.The coordinate code attribute information is a function for exporting in DXF format to a CAD system. It does not affect raw observation data or the observation methods.

Repeat the above process, entering "BUILDING" and "PAVEMENT" as coordinate codes. The editing screen should look like the one below.

1. Function


18

They are listed on the screen for Point Code Editing.

Figure 1-9. Codes-Attributes

The coordinate code list is sorted by alphabetical order.The inputted data is shown in a list even during observations for easy selection.

Next, the procedure used to input coordinate and connection codes during observations will be described using the example on page 13.

Figure 1-10. TOPO Survey (Enter point code)

First, input K-1 as the point name. Then select the coordinate code "ROAD" from the coordinate code list.Enter "1" as the connection code.

1. Function


19

Press the [ENT] key, make the observation, and record the data.Each time an observation is made, the point name will automatically increment by one. Continue taking observations until K-5 is reached.When the point name reaches to K-5, change the connection code from "1" to "2" by directly entering "2" as the connection code. This will ensure that the next observation (K-5) begins a new line. If the connection code is left as "1", K-4 and K-5 will be connected when the next observation is made.

NOTICEThe coordinate code and connection code can be changed later by editing the coordinate data.

When the point name reaches K-6, connect that point with the point K-9 to connect the two lines.Use "Multiple-Codes" input to add information to a point to use it for more than one line. Press [ ]. The [Code-Attributes] screen will be displayed.

Figure 1-11. Code-Attributes

The [Code-Attributes] screen is for point K-6. On this screen, the connection code "ROAD" and the line code "2" are

1. Function


20

displayed for the connection code. We will add new connection information for this point so it includes "PAVEMENT" for the coordinate code and "1" for the connection code. Press the [Multiple Codes] button. This will bring up the [Multiple Code-Attribute] listing screen, which shows the coordinate codes entered for the observation point.

Figure 1-12. Multiple Code-Attribute

Since we will be adding connection information, press the [Add] button. This will bring up the [Code-Attributes] screen for inputting multi-coordinate codes.

Figure 1-13. Code-Attributes (Pavement)

1. Function


21

Select "PAVEMENT" for the coordinate code, and enter "1" for the connection code. Press the OK button to return to the [Multiple Code-Attribute] listing screen.

Figure 1-14. Multiple Code-Attribute (Road and pavement)

Now "ROAD" and "PAVEMENT" are entered as coordinate codes. With this, it is possible to use one point in multiple lines. Press [OK] to return to the observation screen.

Figure 1-15. TOPO Survey-Measurement (multiple code)

Once a multi-coordinate code is entered, the coordinate codes and the connection codes cannot be edited for that point from the observation screen. Editing should done with [ ].

When K-6 is observed and recorded, the coordinate code will automatically change back to "ROAD" and the connection

You can read the tape scale without looking through the telescope.If the distance is close, you can read the scale directly from the camera image. If far away, the scale will not be displayed on the screen clearly enough to read. The following procedure is useful in such a case.1. Extend and lock the tape to some particular length

(30 cm, for example). Place the tape so that it crosses the center of the screen (the Stakeout direction).

2. Enter the length into the tape field, and tap both ends of the tape on the screen.

3. The distance from the first tap point to the center of the screen will be displayed in the [CL] field. This indicates the tape measure scale.

tape isn't exactly perpendicular, there will be significant sources of error (the calculated distance will not be accurate, etc). Therefore, this distance should be treated only as an estimate.

*Advantage of this feature:When the Stakeout point is greater than 50 meters away, it will be impossible to read the scale. This feature will allow you to use a tape measure even if the scale is unreadable.
