ON PNo allows to change point number and code Attention !In the coordinate and application programs, fixed codes are assigned to certain data lines. Such codes cannot be modified by the operator. 6-2 Data Management Searching for Data Lines ? Editor to call search function to search for point number to search for code to search for address Input of the point number, code or address to be searched for ?P ?C ?A ? to continue search using the same criterion to change page to display preceding data line to display following data line ESC to quit search routine Tip If no data line is found to which the search criterion applies, search is followed by an error message. 6-3 Data Management Deleting Data Lines Del Editor to call the function "Delete" Technical Information This function deletes all data lines or the data lines from a selected line number (address) to the last data line saved. Attention !The deletion is definite and irrevocable. To avoid any unintentional loss of data, utmost care has to be taken over this action! all ?P to select all lines or from the line with point number xx or from the line with code xx or from the line with address xx ?C ?A 6-4 Data Management Editor Example: search for point number 2 ? to continue search using the same criterion to switch over to the page of readings o. k. to confirm the line For another check, the selected data lines are displayed again and have to be confirmed. YES to confirm the selection to reject the selection / quit the routine NO 6-5 Data Management Entering Data Lines Inpt Editor to call the function "Input" XY to enter the planimetric coordinates to enter planimetric coordinates and heights to enter heights XYZ Z Example of a height input: Z 149, 362 m Confirmation of the old value (in this case 149, 362 m) Z=0 Set the height to zero Principles First steps 6-6 Data Management and to go to the desired position + Editor and to browse through digits to confirm o. k. to switch over to the page for readings ON PNo to enter point number and code to confirm and save o. k. Input of further coordinates and heights with point number and code Presettings First steps Attention !The sequence and designation of the coordinate axes depend on the selected system of coordinates and the setting of the display of coordinates. The softkey YX and YXZ, respectively, is labelled according to this selection. 6-7 Data Management Data Transfer Cable Data transfer can be performed between and by Elta R PC Cable This allows an easy data exchange between instrument and computer. 6-8 Data Management Data Transfer Preparing the Instrument for Data Transfer ON YES MOD MENU 5 Interface to go to the menu to change settings Menu Interface Elta R Elta S PC Connect both devices by the serial interface cable and start the necessary programs for data transfer.

The instrument or program at the receiving end must be set to the receive mode before you can transmit the project file. YES to start The data lines are transferred to the PC. ESC to end data transfer 6-11 Data Management Data Reception Data Transfer On the instrument: 5 Interface YES to go to the menu to confirm Data transfer menu between PC and Elta R 2 Peripheral -----> MEM YES Enter the name of the source file into the PC Start the transfer from the PC The data lines are transferred to the Elta R. Attention !The instrument only accepts coordinates. ESC to end data reception Tip Time Out occurs after 30 seconds without data communication. The message , , Time Out" indicates a data error. After that, the program returns to the data transfer menu. 6-12 Data Management Introduction Data Formats Zeiss Geodetic Systems are used for measurement functions with different data processing requirements. Elta ® instruments allow densely packed internal measurement and result data lines to be output in various formats. M5, R4, R5, Rec500 record format Four data formats which have grown historically are subject to on-site revision service for compatibility with customer instruments. Currently, M5 is the format to provide most comprehensiveness in definitions. It should be used preferentially for any other tasks. This chapter describes the structure of data format and the type identifier of measured and calculated values. Data transfer Data management User interface Data management Technical All instruments have a serial interface which ensures the data exchange. Attention!Instead of the usual marks within the 27 digit point identification, the M5 data format of Elta * R is limited to a 12 digit point number and a 5 digit code. 6-13 Data Management Data Formats Description of M5 data format , , M5" -> 5 Measuring data blocks per data line: 1 Address block 1 Information block 3 numerical data blocks The Zeiss M5 data format is the common standard for all current Carl Zeiss surveying systems. All 5 data blocks are preceded by a type identifier. The 3 numerical data blocks have a standard layout comprising 14 digits. In addition to the decimal point and sign, they accept numeric values with the specified number of decimal places. The information block is defined by 27 characters.

If the error occurs again, check the interface parameters, the cable and the recording program at the other end. 8-25 Annex Error Messages Tip If the warning "inadequate geometrical conditions" is ignored in the application programs, the last digit of the displayed values is replaced by 3 dots. If a recording error occurs, the last data line has usually not been transmitted. Before you call the service Before you contact the service please notice the following service menu information.
