4. Data
This section presents the formulas and constants used by SOKKIA Link. In addition to this information, it is also important to understand the principles described in Applying SDR Search Rules, because these principles can affect the outcome of coordinate calculations.

Types of data SOKKIA Link can manage two types of collected data: Total station and GPS/RTK and Digital LEVEL. The data is corrected in a variety of ways, depending on the original type of data and the calculations needed to reduce the data to coordinates.

Total Station Data The total station data can be represented in several ways which also correspond to stages of the reduction process. OBS The observation includes the horizontal angle, vertical angle and slope distance from the instrument to the target prism. MC The ground vector includes the azimuth, vertical angle and slope distance from the instrument ground point to the traget ground point. RED The horizontal and vertical components from the instrument ground point to the target ground point. POS The coordinates of the target ground point.

For GPS/RTK data, GOBS has the least importance and POS has the most importance. GOBS The observation includes the azimuth, vertical angle and slope distance from the base antenna to the rover antenna. GRED The observation is calculated as the horizontal distance and the vertical distance from the base to the rover. GPOS POS The observation is reduced to the coordinates at the rover. The observation is reduced to the rovers coordinates with the transformation determined from the most recent calibration applied, if available

36

User Guide

Understanding the search rules When reducing a field book to a list of coordinates, SOKKIA Link uses the following rules.

Rule 1: Observations in POS view are treated as a POS record. For search purposes, any GOBS, OBS, MC, GRED, RED or GPOS record in POS view is treated the same as a true POS record. A POS view record is, most typically, an observation (GOBS/OBS) in position (POS) view. However, MC, RED, GROB and GPOS records can also be stored in POS view. These four types of POS view records (GOBS/OBS in POS view, MC in POS view, GRED/RED in POS view and GPOS in POS view) are equal in precedence to true POS (or STN) records in the coordinate search rules.

Rule 2: SOKKIA Link uses POS, GSTN, STN, GPOS and POS view records before using GOBS/OBS records even if the GOBS/OBS record is more recent. SOKKIA Link will look for any POS records, GPOS, GSTN or STN records, or POS view records, starting at the end of the field book (most recent records), and going backward in time. The first POS, GSTN, GPOS or POS view record found per point ID is used to determine the coordinates of that associated point. If SOKKIA Link finds a POS, GSTN or STN record, the coordinates are immediately available from that record. If SOKKIA Link finds a record in POS view, it will reduce that record to coordinates.

37

User Guide Rule 3: If there are no applicable POS, GSTN, STN or POS view records, SOKKIA Link will use the most recent GOBS, OBS, GPOS, MC, GRED or RED record. The record's view is no longer significant. SOKKIA Link will look for any GOBS, OBS, GPOS, MC, GRED or RED records, starting at the end of the current job and going backwards in chronological order. If SOKKIA Link finds an GOBS, OBS, MC, GRED or RED record in its search with an associated point ID that has not yet been determined, it will reduce it to coordinates (see Reviewing Record Types).

Rule 4: If no such record can be found, the search fails. If SOKKIA Link cannot find any POS, GSTN, GPOS, STN, POS view, OBS, GPOS, MC, GRED or RED records for a point, it simply does not appear in the reduced coordinate results.

Rule 5: Coordinate searching is iterative. Finding the coordinates of the point may necessitate finding the coordinates of several other points. This process will continue until a fixed position for some point (a POS, GPOS, GSTN or STN record, not a POS view record) is found.

4-1) TotalStation
SOKKIA Link manages survey data. SOKKIA Link contends with data from Total Station surveys. The raw data gathered on a variety of devices is stored, organized, edited, reduced and analyzed. The data can be manually input, imported from a wide variety of file formats or received directly from an Electronic Total Station or from a data collector such as the SDR.

Field Book Field books organize data. Multiple field books can be used to separate data, allowing you to apply specific reduction parameters to individual survey jobs and to output the data contained in field books separately - or together.

Reduced Coordinates The results of the reduction process are presented in the Reduced Coordinates and can be immediately exported to a variety of formats. The Reduced Coordinates, and subsequent output, can be made to reflect the current, all or a specific combination of field books. In this view, you control the results and subsequent output by excluding individual points. Displaying the coordinates in an organized list, the Reduced Coordinates makes managing data for export easy.

SOKKIA Link performs several corrections when it reduces raw data to coordinate data. These reduction calculations can be grouped into three general categories: instrument, environmental and job-related corrections - Instruments corrections include equipment configuration, Face1/Face2 observations, collimation and prism constant. Environmental corrections include pressure and temperature corrections. Jobrelated corrections include orientation, instrument height reduction and target height reduction. geometric reductions - Geometric corrections include such things as curvature and refraction, slope reduction, sea level and projection.

39

User Guide coordinate calculations - Coordinate calculations involve adding an observation vector to the coordinates of its respective station coordinates to determine the target point coordinates.

SOKKIA Link always applies corrections in a specific sequence as it converts a raw observation to coordinates. The instrument, environmental and job-related corrections are applied first, followed by the geometric corrections. This sequence is shown in the following figure. SOKKIA Link assumes the prism constant and atmospheric parts per

OBS

million (PPM) corrections have been applied to the slope distance before it is displayed in the field book. This slope distance can be from the instrument or it could be manually input from the keyboard. Adjustments to the slope distance of OBS records for prism constant and PPM can be applied by using Field Book Settings. SOKKIA Link applies six different corrections when it converts an

OBS -> MC

OBS record to a measured and corrected (MC) record. The order is face one/face two, instrument and target height, collimation, orientation, Earth curvature and refraction. With manually entered OBS MC values, SOKKIA Link will assume these corrections have been applied. SOKKIA Link corrects for sea level, projection and scale when

OBS -> MC RED

converting an MC record to a reduced (RED) record. The final step in arriving at coordinates (POS record) is a

RED -> POS

mathematical coordinate calculation.
