(This functionality is available with the Input / Output module)
This instrument uses Compact Flash (CF) cards to store the data.
To transfer between the Leica System 1200 and the system, you must have either a CF card drive installed or connected to your computer (with the appropriate device drivers loaded), OR the data from the card stored on your computer. Refer to your CF card drive manual for details of these drivers.
When using the Field Transfer/Input/Data Recorder command with a Leica System
1200 device selected, ensure that the "Port:" is set to "FILE:" in the communication settings.
This will facilitate a browse dialog that can be used to select the data from the storage location, including the CF card.
Note: When using Windows Vista, the file to be selected is prefixed with the project name.
The Input operation transfers the data from the selected Leica database into the selected storage location.
Operation Code Support and data formats
The Leica System 1200 supports all the LEICA / WILD Operation Codes.
A sample code list for alpha coding for use on the Leica System 1200 is available for download from the LISCAD website (Knowledge base article 106). You may also create, edit and upload alternative code lists using Leica Geo Office to suit your particular needs.
Note 1: Geographic co-ordinates in the Leica database will only be added into the raw file if they can be transformed to grid co-ordinates via an internal transformation in the Leica job.
Note 2: The Leica System 1200 download should be used for both TPS and GPS data. This is because the Leica System 1200 uses a common database.
Note 3: If a point has an ellipsoidal height, LISCAD will use the attached Leica Geoid Model to convert the height to an orthometric height. If there is no geoid model, LISCAD uses the geoid separation set in "Utilities/Configure/Earth Constants" to calculate an orthometric height.
Note 4: By default, distances and heights from the Leica System 1200 are added to the raw file correct to 3 decimal places. If however, the distance measurements in the Leica database are correct to more than 3 decimal places then a registry setting is available to specify the desired number of decimal places (3,4 or 5 is possible) output to the raw file. Note:The registry value needs to be created as a DWORD.
The value for the desired number of decimal places that you wish to use is held in the registry. Note that the setting is held in: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\LISTECH\LISCAD\9.x\SEE\Field Transfer\ .
| Setting | Used to |
| SYS1200DistPrec: | This defines the number of decimal places which is to be used for distance measurements from the Leica database. If this is set to 3 or less (default), both metric and imperial (feet) measurements are correct to 3 decimal places, if it is 4, both metric and imperial (feet) measurements are correct to 4 decimal places and if 5 or greater, it is to five decimal places (only for metres - not applicable for feet). |
