GPS Coordinates in Survey Pro
241
The SPSO download and import process defaults to download and
import the .RAW file. When you import the .RAW file, the
coordinate system, user entered points, and all of the observation
vectors taken in the survey will be imported into the project. The
coordinates for measured points will then be calculated in your SPSO
project from the measurement data. You can also import a .job file
into the project. When you import a .job file you will get only the
coordinate system and the point coordinates; you will not get the
measurement vectors from the .job file.
SPSO export will create a .job file of selected project points including
any defined coordinate system. You can export this file to a location
on disk and move it to the appropriate data collector manually, or you
can export and upload to the data collector in one step directly from
SPSO.
Note: SPSO will only import GPS measurement vectors from Survey
Pro .RAW files that were collected with an EPOCH25 GPS receiver or
with a Trimble GPS receiver when the Trimble System Extension
module was authorized in Survey Pro at the time of data collection.
TGO / TTC
Using TGO or TTC, you can download Survey Pro job and raw files to
your hard drive, convert them into Trimble DC files, and import them
into a TGO or TTC project. For both TGO and TTC, the download is
done with a common Trimble component called ‘Data Transfer’. Once
downloaded, the file is automatically converted into the Trimble DC
format and imported into the TGO/TTC project. You can also convert
and import a file already on disk using the Import function.
TGO / TTC download and import requires you to choose the .job or
.raw file separately. For most purposes, you will just need to import
the .raw file. When you import the raw file, the converted DC file
contains the coordinate system, the points, and all of the measured
vectors from those points. When you import the .job file, the
converted DC file contains just the coordinate system and the plane
location of the points.
