Page 87: Checking And Adjusting The Circular Level On The Tribrach
1.16 Checking and Adjusting the Circular Level on the Tribrach Description The circular level is used to level the antenna over the observation point. An incorrectly adjusted circular level means that the GNSS antenna is not properly levelled over the point. This means that in fact another point on the ground is observed.
Page 88 Step Description • If yes, no adjustment is required. The procedure is finished. • If no, the bubble needs adjusting. Continue with step 6. Take down the carrier with precision bubble. Centre the bubble using the adjustment pin in conjunction with the adjustment screws on the bottom side of the bubble.

Using GPS1200+ without RX1200 For reference stations in post-processing, real-time and static applications, GPS1200+ can be used without RX1200. Description The receiver is pre-programmed in the office using the RX1200. In the field, the receiver is used without the RX1200 attached. This greatly reduces the knowledge required to operate the instrument in the field.

A time stamp is recorded with each free code. It allows to export free codes and objects in a chronological order to be used for third party mapping software.
Page 215 Code types The code type defines how and for which objects a code can be used. It is possible to create a code of the same name but of different code types both on the receiver and in LGO. Example: The code Oak can exist with code type point code and with code type line code. Point code: To record a code directly with a point.
Page 216 Attribute value type: Text Real Integer Attribute value region: Attribute value region: None Choicelist None Choicelist Range Attribute types The attribute type defines the input requirements for the attribute. Normal: An input for the attribute is optional. The attribute value can be typed in in the field.
Page 217 Text: Any input for the attribute is interpreted as text. New attributes with this attribute value type can be created in LGO or on the receiver. Real: An input for the attribute must be a real number, for example 1.23. New attributes with this attribute value type can be created in LGO.

It can be used to orientate the TPS1200+ instrument. Backsight In a TPS survey, the instrument is set up over a point. A reading onto a fixed point of reference, usually a benchmark of some sort, is taken in order to orientate the instrument.
Page 762 Relevance for GPS An unknown backsight point can be used to set up a TPS1200+ instrument. After finishing the TPS job, the coordinates of the unknown backsight point can be determined using GPS1200+ with the CompactFlash from the TPS1200+ instrument. When assigning the same point ID of the unknown backsight point to a point measured with GPS1200+, the TPS setup and all related calculations can be updated on GPS1200+.

Page 932: Determine Coordinate System - General
Determine Coordinate System - General 39.1 Overview Description GPS measured points are always stored based on the global geocentric datum known as WGS 1984. Most surveys require coordinates in a local grid system, for example, based on a country’s official mapping datum or an arbitrary grid system used in a particular area such as a construction site.
Page 933 Transformation parameters A transformation consists of a number of shifts, rotations and scale factors, depending on the type of transformation used. Not all of these parameters are always required. These param- eters may already be known, or may need to be computed. Description of transformations Three different transformations are provided: •...
Page 934 Transformation Characteristic Description Requirements • The positions and heights are known in WGS 1984 and in the local system for at least three points. Four points or more are recom- mended in order to obtain higher redundancy. • Parameters of the local ellipsoid. •...
Page 935 Transformation Characteristic Description Onestep Principle Transforms coordinates directly from WGS 1984 to local grid and vice versa without knowledge about the local ellipsoid or the map projection. Procedure: 1. The WGS 1984 coordinates are projected onto a temporary Transverse Mercator projection. The central meridian of this projection passes through the centre of gravity of the common control points.
Page 936 Transformation Characteristic Description A site where the coordinates of the control points are based on a purely local grid. The coordinate values within this grid are totally arbitrary and are in no way connected with any ellipsoid or map projection. Obvi- ously a Classic 3D transformation cannot be used here, as cartesian coordinates cannot be calculated from such a grid.
Page 937 Transformation Characteristic Description Points and trans- The transformation parameters determined depend formation parame- on the number of available points with position infor- ters mation. • One point: Classic 2D with shift in X and Y. • Two points: Classic 2D with shift in X and Y, rota- tion about Z and scale.
Page 938 Transformation Characteristic Description Advantage • Errors in height do not propagate into errors in position since the height and position transforma- tions are separated. • If local heights have low accuracy or do not exist, a transformation of position can still be calculated and vice versa.
Page 939 Transformation Characteristic Description Twostep Principle Combines the advantages of the Onestep and the Classic 3D transformation. It allows treating position and height separately, but is not restricted to smaller areas. Procedure: 1. The WGS 1984 coordinates of the common control points are shifted closely to the local datum using a given Classic 3D pre-transforma- tion.

Page 941 Transformation Characteristic Description The first step of a Twostep transformation avoids any distortions due to the fact that the preliminary grid coordinates are built on a different ellipsoid than the local points. The second step ensures that the influence of the scale factor of the map projection is equally taken into account before the final 2D transformation is computed.
Page 942 calculated. Depending on the type of transformation used, details about the map projection, the local ellipsoid and a local geoidal model may also be needed. Requirements for • The control points used for the transformation should surround the area for which the control points transformation is to be applied.
