ALCULATION
This module is the central measurement, calculation and geodetic control module
of the TPS1100 instrument family. All sensors (angle, distance and compensator)
deliver their respective data to this module. All sensor information is used to
continuously calculate corrected or uncorrected values for angles, distance and
position co-ordinates.
The functions handled by the TMC module are:
Measurement Functions
These functions deliver measurement results. Angle- and inclination
measurement are started by system functions directly, other measurement
operations needs activating the corresponding sensor (e.g. distance
measurement)
Measurement Control Functions
These functions control measurement behaviour (activate/deactivate
sensors) and basic data for the calculation of measurement results.
Data Set-up Functions
These functions allow sending destination data, location data and section
data to the Theodolite.
Information Functions
These functions return additional information about measurement results,
sensors, Theodolite states, etc.
Configuration Functions
These functions control the Theodolite behaviour in general.
The measurement functions of this subsystem generally can generate three types
of return codes:
System Return Codes are of general use (
Informative Return code indicates that the function was terminated successfully.
But some restrictions apply (e.g. it can be reported that the angle values are okay,
the distance is invalid).
Error Return Codes signal a non-successful termination of the function call.
