Settings
1. Total station ppm/scale:
Atmospheric ppm = 0
•
•
Geometric ppm = 0 or scale factor = 1
Prism constant = 0 (non-motorised
•
instruments only)
•
The vertical angle on the total station
must be set to zenith for all Topcon
instruments.
The angular unit on both the total sta-
•
tion and controller must match
These settings ensure that the correct
coordinates are calculated at the CS. It is
still possible to apply the relevant atmos-
pheric and geometric ppm/scale factor val-
ues. These values must then be set on the
CS.
2. Communication settings:
The communication settings on the TS
•
must match the default parameters for
that particular instrument type as seen
on the CS.
On motorised Topcon total stations, for
•
example GTS800 and above, set the
communication values through Prog\Ext.
Link\Setting\RS232.
•
For non-motorised instruments, ensure
that the total station is in the measure-
ment panel when trying to connect.
3. External Link mode
To connect to motorised Topcon total
•
stations, for example GTS800 and above,
set the external link mode through Prog
\Ext. Link\Execute.
4. Required cable:
TDS DB9 Data Cable (148 SCGTSSOKTOP
•
– Topcon/Sokkia)
1. Total station ppm/scale:
•
Atmospheric ppm = 0
Geometric ppm = 0 or scale factor = 1
•
Prism constant = 0
•
•
The vertical angle display setting must be
the same on the CS and the total station
These settings ensure that the correct
coordinates are calculated at the CS. It is
still possible to apply the relevant atmos-
pheric and geometric ppm/scale factor val-
ues. These values must then be set on the
CS.
