Coordinate Systems

Overview
A coordinate system
allows the conversion from WGS 1984 geodetic or cartesian coordinates
to, local cartesian, geodetic or grid coordinates and back.
can be attached to jobs.
can be manually defined.
can be computed in the field.
can be directly received from a reference network. Refer to "18.7.1 Config-
uration of a Rover Real-Time Connection".
can be downloaded to Infinity.
can be uploaded from Infinity.
Coordinate systems are used on the TS and the CS to combine GNSS data with
TS data.
For TS:
An attached coordinate system is not used to reduce any measured distance on
a TS instrument.
All GNSS surveyed points are always stored as WGS 1984 geodetic coordinates
regardless of the coordinate system being used. Using a different coordinate
system converts the coordinates displayed on the panel, but does not convert
and restore the coordinate values in the database DBX.
For TS:
Points surveyed with a TS instrument are always stored in local grid coordinates
regardless of the coordinate system being used.
One coordinate system can be attached to a job at one time. This coordinate
system remains attached to the job unless it is changed.
The default coordinate system is WGS 1984. It cannot be deleted. It is not
possible to create a coordinate system called WGS 1984.
Additional default coordinate systems may be available for certain countries.
The active coordinate system is the one attached to the job. One coordinate
system is always considered as the active coordinate system.
When Use auto coordinate system is checked in the RTK Rover Wizard, the
coordinate system is directly received from the reference network via RTCM cor-
rection data. Refer to "18.7.1 Configuration of a Rover Real-Time Connection".
Accessing Coordinate System Management
1.
From the job menu, select View & edit job properties.
2.
Go to the Coordinate system.
