Exporting Data

Job data, format files, configuration sets and codelists can be exported from the
internal memory of the instrument. Data can be exported via:
The RS232 serial interface
A receiver, such as a laptop, is connected to the RS232 port. The receiver requires
Instrument Tools or another third-party software.

If the receiver is too slow in processing data the data could be lost. With
this type of data transfer the instrument is not informed about the perfor-
mance of the receiver (no protocol). Therefore the success of this type of
transfer is not checked.
The USB device port
For instruments fitted with a Communication side cover.
The USB device can be connected to the USB device port housed in the Communication
side cover. The USB device requires Instrument Tools or another third-party software.
A USB memory stick
For instruments fitted with a Communication side cover. A USB memory stick can be
inserted and removed from the USB host port housed in the Communication side
cover. No additional software is required for the transfer.
The exporting of XML data has some special requirements.
• XML standards do not allow a mix of imperial and metric measurement systems.
When exporting XML data, all measurements will be converted to the same
measurement system as set for the distance unit. For example, if the distance
unit is set to a metric unit (metre), the pressure and temperature units will be
converted to metric units as well, even if they are set to imperial units on the
instrument.
• The angle unit MIL is not supported by XML. When exporting XML data, meas-
urements using this unit are converted to dec.deg.
• The distance unit ft-in/16 is not supported by XML. When exporting XML data,
measurements using this unit are converted to feet.
• Points with Height coordinates only, are not supported by XML. These points are
given the E and N values of 0.
