Getting Started with Format Manager-1.1.0en Quick Tour II - Creating a Leica GSI16 Output - Thematical Codes
The first part of the coordinate line is the same as the code line. It
again consists of text and the Blocknumber (GSI).
ØEnter the text *11 and the Blocknumber (GSI) as described for
the code line in Lesson One.
Remember to set the format settings for the blocknumber as in
Lesson One.
ØEnter a + as text.
The next part of the line is the Point ID (Target). Enter the Point ID
(Target) export variable as shown below.
Lesson Two - Creating the Export Formatstring - Coordinate Information
The next part of the line is the coordinate variables.
For metric formats, the GSI format allows no decimal point in the
output string which means the coordinates have to be output in mm.
However, the coordinate data that will be output from SKI-Pro or the
sensor will be in metres. It is therefore necessary to scale the
coordinate values by 1000.
ØFrom the Options menu or from the Toolbar select Formats .
The Setting dialog box will appear. Ensure the Scales tab view is
selected.
It is possible here to enter 4 differerent scale values for
Angular, Linear, Temperature and Pressure type
export variable. (Normally, GPS users would only be
interested in scaling linear export variables such as
coordinate values or baseline lengths).
ØChange the Linear scale to be 1000.
ØClick OK.
