Re: Leica total station which outputs X,Y,Z, not angles

I am using Excel to do the calculations and could convert the names there. I pasted the both the X,Y coordinates and calculated buoy positions. That is really as easy of a solution as you developing another import routine, only it leaves the tolerance checking out of your program. I am doing all of ...

Re: Leica total station which outputs X,Y,Z, not angles

I can name the buoys whatever is needed. I used the names from the AWSA SlalomSurvey spreadsheet but would rather stick with IWSF terminology anyway. For the radius correction I convert to polar, add the radius, then go back to rectangular. Yesterday we had an L class tournament and I just pasted th...

Re: Leica total station which outputs X,Y,Z, not angles

That's correct. It would be nice to import the .txt file from the USB drive. I manually input the buoy names into the total station. If I enter G1 for example, it will automatically name the next one G2. It makes it pretty nice going down the line. I manually change the name to P15 when I get to the...

Leica total station which outputs X,Y,Z, not angles

Is there a way to import coordinates instead of angles and distances? Some of the newer instruments output nice .txt files but they only contain coordinates.
Thanks,
Ed
