very welcome to another Leica TS16 Total Station tutorial and in today's video I'm going to be
creating points and I'm going to be importing and exporting data from the total station so let's go
so I got that job here site edge control and what I'm going to do I'm going to press here
and I'm going to create a new point so I'm going to access here by View and edit data and from here
I got a points lines images scans but I'm on the points now so I'm going to press new to create a
new Point here at ts001 but I'm gonna just maybe change it for P1 and I'm going to type in some
random coordinates here just so we have it and the random northing not and I got some height okay uh
oh what I can see now I got the four decimals and I don't like it I never work like that and
I recommend you to keep it three decimals and I probably went too fast to the original settings
I keep the point here but I'm gonna go back and I'm gonna show you how to set it in the settings
I got a system here and the original I omitted quickly but actually that's the place where
we're going to be changing the decimal numbers and from four I'm Gonna Keep it three and that's how
I recommend you to keep it all the time three we work to the millimeters that's well enough for us
engineers and I got Impressions sometimes people working with four as they don't really know how
to change it or they never try to change it and they just got used to it so I'm going to press
ok now and if I come back here and check my point you're gonna see this will be at three decimals
now coordinates you can see that's how I want to keep it so that's how we create a point and I'm
gonna go now and I'm gonna import some data to the very same job so I'm gonna go back here to
the job as you can see here we have import export data so I'm going to press import data here ASCII
data that's going to be the first type of file I'm going to be bringing in so I'm just going to press
it here and as you can see ASCII from USB that's exactly what I want but we can choose here between
SD card USB whatever we're using obviously we want to make sure and that's the right one basement txt
that's exactly what I want to bring here but just you can press here and choose between the jobs you
want to bring and another one is two job site edge control and that's exactly what I want to bring
but as you can see here you can actually create a new job on import so that's very useful as well
I'm actually going to use it in the next example so by pressing Fn and here we can change some
settings so depending on what data we're bringing in can actually change few things here as you can
see there's a point easting North in height but that's how we typically keep it and I wouldn't be
changing anything here as I said unless we got some strange data coming in so we want to make
sure in the instrument everything going to be all right so I'm just going to go back here and what
I'm going to do I'm just going to press OK and the job going to be brought so it's only five points
that's the control stations no I don't want to bring any more data in and just have a quickly
look at what we got in here so I'm going to go view any data as you can see my points are here
now it's more than it was and we can have a look at the 3D viewer and that's how I like to work I
like to see the points I work from the maps from that viewer that's our points here obviously we
can navigate here but I'm going to tell a little bit more about navigating in the next video so I'm
going to go back now here and I'm going to bring a dxf data as that's what we're going to be mostly
using when working with this instrument with a robotic instrument really so I'm going to go
again import data and this time I'm going to pick up the txt file and from device USB stick that's
okay basement in millimeters I'm going to put the basement like this I'm going to press ok site edge
control and I want to actually create a new job so in this case I don't have that option but I
can click here choose the job and in here actually instead of choosing the job I can create a new job
here now so I just maybe Call It basement as well and as before I'm going to keep it as my job here
and I'm going to press here I'm gonna press store and now I'm going to press OK that's going to be
choosing my job so you can see two job basement but very important thing now I want to actually
to press F and here and change some settings so as you can see we got some prefixes here for the
block line point but my drawing is actually in meters and it's very important here to make sure
the unit is going to be corresponding the drawing you're bringing in so I got my in meters and I'm
gonna change it in meters here obviously we can change this prefixes as well so on point this P
line as L and that's how I'm going to keep it and I'm very happy with it and I'm just gonna press
ok now and that's how my job gonna be brought now in meters and all the prefix is going to be as I
set them just here we're going to have a look now so okay 91 points all the stuff we don't want any
more here and I'm gonna go now to that basement new created job by the way and we're gonna have
a look at that data so same as before we got the points here we can pick up the lines from here as
well images and no images here but we got that 3D viewer and that's what I want to have a look at so
that's the drawing I just brought we got a few columns here we got the walls as well and just
maybe quickly show you a few things so that's the column you can see I got that prefixes here L5 L4
L3 for the lines and that's how we're going to be looking so that's how we're going to be bringing
the data into the instrument obviously you want to make sure the drawing is coordinated itself
so we can actually jump and start working of it so that's the different story and I was covering
it actually in one of my old videos so I'm gonna go back now and we're gonna export some data so
it's very easy I gotta export data here and ask key I'm gonna pick up the ASCII file here you're
gonna ask me what memory I want to export the data obviously I'm going to use a USB I'm going to be
exporting to USB to folder data that's fine and basement txt and we got an example here at point
easting northing and height obviously we can press FN here change check the settings or change the
setting how you want to bring it what way we want the information to be exported but I'm happy with
it and I'm going to press ok now and Report sheet basement already exists on the USB okay so I got
the same information on the USB probably gonna keep them different ways so I'm going to press
no I'm going to change that name maybe to basement I'm going to put a Double T just for now and the
export data is complete and that's what we got and in case of bringing dxf data that's going
to be exactly the same I'm just going to press here export data dxf and same here I'm going to
take it to the USB and we got folder data that's how I'm going to keep it siteng control maybe I
just wanted to change a little bit okay that's fine just to export it I'm going to press OK
here export of data complete okay and that's all we need and that's exactly how we're going to be
exporting the data our as bills our surveys we're going to be bringing them later to the cart and
we're going to be working with the data so guys that will be all in today's video in the next one
I'm going to be talking more about navigating that map 3D viewer and also we're going to have a look
at the resection so if you like the video please don't forget to leave the thumbs up and don't
forget to subscribe to the channel as they're going to be more coming so if you're interested
in learning if you want to know more about serving and setting out in construction that's the right
place for you and I really invite you to join the community and subscribe to the channel
