TPS measurements

• The TPS measurements are listed in the Measurements table under TPS. They are grouped by station name.

TPS measurements table

• The table contains information on TPS measurements, grouped by station name.

  

• The information available are the following:

  • Type: the type of measure.

  • Use: to set the mode in which the program uses the measurement in the calculation of the survey. The option H + V allows the program to use both the horizontal and vertical component of the measurement. The option Only H or Only V They set the use of the measure only as a horizontal measure or only as a vertical one.

  • Station: the name of the station.

  • Instrument height: the station’s height.

  • Name: the name of the point.

  • Code: the survey code associated with the point surveyed.

  • Horizontal angle: the horizontal angle of the measure.

  • Vertical angle: the vertical angle of the measure.

  • Slope distance: the slope distance of the measure.

  • Horizontal distance: the horizontal distance of the measure.

  • Vertical distance: the vertical distance of the measure.

  • Height target: the target’s height.

  • Target constant: the target constant used.

  • Description: the point description.

  • Date/time: the date and time when the point was measured.

  • Recording: this box shows if there are voice notes related to the measurement.

• In the column Type you can find the following values:

  • Direct measure: a direct measure to the point.

  • Offset HA: measurement with angular horizontal offset. Shows the measurements recorded with the angles of the center of the object and the distance measured on the prism. This mode allows to perform a measure to an object for which it’s not possible to position the prism in the point to measure

  • Offset VA: measure with vertical angle offset. Shows the measurements recorded with the vertical angle of the object center and the distance measured on the prism. This mode allows to perform a measure to a point not accessible by the prism but finding over or under it.

  • Offset distance: indicates the measurements to which the prism position has been added 3 offsets, for example when you need to perform a measure to a point not accessible by the prism but finding to a certain distance referring to it along the direction station-prism.

  • Only angle: it specifies measures that have only horizontal and vertical angles and not distance.

  • F1/F2: it specifies the measures with the two faces and performs the average of the measures.

• It is possible to change the display layout of the table from the bottom right button, which allows you to view other data related to TPS measurements.

  

• The following options are available:

  • Slope distance & Vertical angle: to enables the display of the data horizontal angle, vertical angle and slope distance.

  • Horizontal & Vertical distance: to enable data display horizontal angle, horizontal distance, vertical distance.

  • Save Layouts as default: to save table layout as default. It means that the settings applied to the layout (position of columns, display of columns etc...) will be applied as default to open tables later.

  • Restore default Layouts: to allow to undo the changes applied to the table layouts and restore the standard display.

• If there are multiple bases, you can view the measurements of each base by expanding the tree node.

• The bottom toolbar of the table presents the following commands in addition to the basic commands:

  

  • Colors by Station: to set a color to the baselines according to the base name.

  • Colors by Code: to set a color to the baselines according to the survey code.

  • Station: the name of the station.

  • Instrument height: the station’s height.

  • Point name: the name of the point.

  • Target height: the target’s height.

  • Measurement type: the type of measure.

  • Target type: the type of target used for the measure.

  • Target constant: the target constant used.

  • Horizontal angle: the horizontal angle of the measure.

  • Vertical angle: the vertical angle of the measure.

  • Slope distance: the slope distance of the measure.

  • Horizontal distance: the horizontal distance of the measure.

  • Height difference: the vertical distance of the measure.

  • Code: the survey code associated with the measured point.

  • Description: the point description.

  • Date/time: the date and time when the point was measured.

• The Photo and messages page shows the photo and vocal message assigned to the point.
