Coordinate Data - Topcon GTS-600 Series Instruction Manual

4.6.2 Coordinate Data

There are 4 routines in the Coordinate data option, Input Coordinate data, Search and View Jobs, New
Point, and Grid Factor.
Input Coordinate Data
The input coordinate data routine is used to manually type in point numbers with coordinate values.If
there are no job names found in memory, the software will ask to create one. If there is a job in memory
the coordinates will be stored in the current job or another job name can be selected. Select a job name
before choosing the Input Coordinate Data option. A job name can be a total of 10 characters, alpha
and numeric. The job name is not created or stored in memory until you have stored the first point
number with coordinates.
The first prompt screen is to input the point number. The (REC#) in the upper left corner of the display,
represents the record number for the point number and it's coordinates.once the point number entered,
the next prompt screen allows the user to input the north, east and elevation. The [F6] key is the
backspace key to move the cursor from right or left and the [F1] key is to exit back to the Coordinate
data main menu. Press the [ENT] key to store each field of data. After entering the elevation data, the
point number prompt display appears and increments the last point number (+1). Press the [ESC] key
to cancel the coordinate data input option.
The instructions below show hoe to create a job name from the Coordinate data input option and
manually type in a point number with coordinate values. (Assume that there are no job names memory
for this example).
Operating procedure
1
Press [F3] for the Coordinate data option.
2
Press [F1] for Input Coordinate data.
3
The default name is (???1). Type in a job
name. The name can be alpha or numeric. To
type in a alpha character, press the [F1] key
so the abbreviation (Num) appears.
4
After typing in the job name, press [ENT] key
5
The cursor will blink in the rectangle box. Type
in a point number and press the [ENT] key.
