5 1 Hi-Q Tools v2.1 Edition Introduction Hi-Q Tools V2.1 achieves great improvement compared with former V1 edition. Added large data solution function, Hi-Q Tools V2.1 successfully breaks through large grid data and vector data conversion function. V2.1 edition brings you simple style software interface. All practical components of the software are under module management, which improve software stability and maintainability. 1

6 2 Software Operation 2.1 New Project Run Hi-Q Tools program. Click File Project Wizard (As below figure shows) (F) --> New Project, to get popup dialog 2

7 Choose or input location for project saving. Then type in the project Name. Click Next >> to enter next step: setting coordinates projection parameter. (As follow figure shows) Single click Select button, you can get popup Open dialog, then choose one existing *.dam projection files. Or you can click Create button, to get Projection Setting interface (As follow figure shows), input corresponding parameters and click 3

8 OK to finish setting up new projection file. Back to Project Wizard and click View/Edit you can edit the created projection files if you need. 4

9 step) Hi-Q Tools Software Manual Single click Next >>, then you can add required data files. (You can skip this Click Next >> to set data dictionary. (As follow figure shows) If you already select more than one data files on the last step, then system would automatically create corresponding data dictionary. If you need to do edition on the data dictionary, you can click View/Edit to do it. 5

10 2.2 Open File: Select File (F) --> Open File, you can choose to open one or several files. (Including vector and grid file) You can scan the file, layer modes are random distributed. And all editions you do to the files is temporary after you open it. 2.3 Open Project: Select File (F) --> Open Project and you can open the files with *.prj postfix. The project file would include all required vector data file. If you already change display mode, the changed mode would be automatically saved. When you open the project next time the display mode would be what you set last time. 6

11 2.4 Display Tools Bar Operation: Display / Search Vertex After you select one object and click Show Vertex, then you would find all 7

12 vertex of the selected image would be shown on the layer. If you need to check precise coordinates of one vertex, you can use Data ---> Option or press F12 keyboard button to get Option setting dialog. 8

13 Choose Snap checkbox on Vertex Snap bar, and set Sense on the right side. (larger value, better sensitivity) if you like to show vertex each when you choose one object, you can tick the Show vertex after being.. 9

14 Properties List If currently vector data exist, click Properties List, to get popup dialog Properties List. You can select certain data properties/attributes you need to view in the list. Then the layer would show objects which you just selected. 10

15 11

16 Check Current Data Projection: Hi-Q Tools Software Manual Click button Projection, will show window Projection Setting, customer will browse currently data projection. Caution: if customer open several data use Open, then current projection is the first open data projection information, otherwise, projection default under WGS84. If customer opens data by Open Project, then current projection is the projection information of this project. 12

17 3 Application Tools 3.1 Data Dictionary (Feature Code Library) Data Dictionary is the necessary preparation for outdoor GIS collection work. Data Dictionary moulding board can provide record standard & criterion for field object collection. Via related Attribute data setting, you can prevent invalid and non-standard data record. In the PC, you can use convenient characters to input establish content to data dictionary. 13

18 3.1.1 File Menu 1. New Data Dictionary When click Dictionary Editor, actually all contents in dictionary is ready for your edition and entire dictionary can be new established. When editor have content (means including one or more elements) and you want editor back to empty, can choose File --> New. 14

19 2. Open Data Dictionary Hi-Q Tools Software Manual Open existing data dictionary and edit. Choose File -> Open. 3. Save When editor has one or more elements, if customer didn t appoint saving path of data dictionary (under state of New ), then click File -> Save or shortcut key Ctrl+S, will show dialog to select saving path. If you already appointed one saving path, ( Open or have been saved state) programme will save and cover original content. When editor including lawless element information, (without setting any attributes element), you have to delete lawless element and then save. 4. Save as When editor including more than one available element, click File -> Save as or shortcut key Ctrl+Alt+S, will show Save as file saving path, if dictionary content correct, can save as new file, and then current editing data dictionary would auto switch to the new data dictionary in new folder. 5. Close Choose File -> Close, when have editing data dictionary, program will hint save. Then reposition to new data dictionary editor status. 15

20 3.1.2 Edit Menu: This option is for operation of attributes character, not for element operation. 1. Copy Only when customer chooses available character in Including Attributor can work. Choose one available attribute, then click Edit -> Copy or shortcut key Ctrl+C copy this attributor to memory and stickup to other elements. This operation does not delete original record. 2. Cut Only be available when customer chooses available attributor character in Including Attributor. Choose one available attributes, click Edit -> Cut or shortcut key Ctrl+X, copy this attributor to memory and stickup to other elements. This operation deletes original record. 3. Paste Only be available after customer copy or cut attributor character. Choose any element; click Edit -> Paste or shortcut key Ctrl + V can paste memory character to necessary element, if select element including the same attributes, paste would fail. Add Element 16

21 Click button Add Element in Elements combo box will show below window Add New Element. Enter relative Element Name (must fill) of Add New Element window, choose Element Type (must fill) and Note content (choose to fill), click OK to add new element. If there is one same name element, error hint, input again for available element name. 17

22 3.1.3 Modify element Choose exacting element, click button Edit or double-click element name, show window Add New Element, modify element name or style or Note, click OK to modify relative information and back to editor interface Delete Element Select one exist element, click button Remove to get confirm dialog, click OK delete element, beyond retrieve Add Field/Attributes After add one legally element and select element name, Including Attributor combo box available state, click button Add Field, and show below window Add New Field. 18

23 Field Type total including 7 items, integer, Double, Text, Menu, File, Date and Time. 19

24 Integer This is numerical value style, not including decimal fraction, virtual value is: All integers between -9,223,372,036,854,775,808 and 9,223,372,036,854,775,807. Numerical value style setting including: max (choose to input), minimum (choose), default (choose) and auto pace value (choose). If both Max Value and Min Value are 0, it shows no limitation. Max Value must be bigger than Min Value ; when Default show program auto infilling value every time when collect the corresponding attributes, you don t need to repeat input; AutoStep accumulate each collection data. Double This value style, including decimal fraction, available scare is: real number between ± to ± There is one Precious setting which must be filled. It is for setting reserved decimal digits when collecting respective attributes. Text This value includes all available character. Including value: Length (must fill) and Default (choose to fill). Length appoint total byte length of relative attribute value can t be overrun setting value, otherwise overstep part can be deleted or useless. 20

25 Menu This value includes all the available character. Menu at least including one menu item, menu item is only option, relative value only can via selecting pre-establish menu items to achieve fill attributor value. Menu style value setting including: available length and default. File This value is special for multimedia files, including image, video and audio files. Date System windows default date format: Day/Month/Year, not including hour/minute/second. Can be set as Default Time Time Value, format must be: hour: minute: second; Can be set as Default 21

30 3.2 Image Matching/Fixer Hi-Q Tools Software Manual Image matching/fixer is the necessary premise preparation for setting grid image in Q GIS handheld for navigation and scan collection, via this operation, can associate coordinate both in image and in actual, and save image in the special data format, finally can meet request to quick browse in the handheld. 26

31 3.2.1 New zmp Image: Click File -> Create zmp File, show window Select, choose the image needing 27

32 to transfer (support bmp, jpg, tif, png, gif), program make browse preview image (as below image show): After confirm selected image is needed image, click button OK, show dialog Control Point Coordinate Type (below image show). 28

33 Choose relative reference point style, click Next >>, choose or enter transform parameter between reference point coordinate and WGS84 in show window Projection Setting. 29

34 Click OK, enter projection name and saving path for the coming zmp image, then progress can transform image to zmp data format, below process bar show transform process. 30

35 3.2.2 Fixing.zmp Image Control Point Fixing Opening a transferred image (or the image will be opened automatically after you did transfer it from another format into.zmp format). If it is the first time to fix the.zmp image,program title will show hint character as (unfixed) as the follow figure. 31

36 Enter Operation, through all the functions like ZoomIn (shortcut key F1), Pan (shortcut key F2), Previous View (shortcut key F3), Full Canvas (shortcut key F4), you can get to the control point position. Then after enter Operation -> Collect Point or press shortcut key F5, you can click the image in the control point, input the coordinates of control point in the popup dialog box (as the following figure): 32

37 Please pay attention to that don t make the latitude and longitude reverse. After finish inputting, click OK to finish the control point fixing. Repeat these inputting operations to finish more than two control pints fixing (two control points fixing can only simply match coordinate in plane but can t determine exactly the image space transformation, neither to check the correctness of control point coordinates. It is suggested to fix more than 3 control points, which should be distributing well covering the whole image) Residual Value will be showed in the last line of control point list. (It is impossible to figure out Residual Value referring to only two control points, as the following red frame) 33

38 The way for corner fixing Corner fixing is a method of complete fixing an image by directly inputting the known coordinates of the east corner, the south corner, the west corner, and the north corner after the image has been regulated before. Click Operation -> Corner Points or press shortcut F8 to input the coordinates of the four corners. If control points have been collected by hand before, program will cue whether abandon before operations of control point collection. If corner fixing before has done before, then this operation will be changed into revising points coordinate, and the existed points coordinates will be showed in the four textbox automatically as the following figure 34

39 After finishing input, click OK to complete control points collection Revise control point after input more than 2 control points, if some control points coordinates need revising, you can double click the row where control point in or click choose this row, and then click right side button Edit, when a popup window Corner Fixing Information will show, where you can input the coordinates of the control point to edit it and click OK to complete this revising operation. 35

40 3.2.4 Change X Y After users input all the latitude and longitude, or XY coordinates of control points, they can check the Residual Value of each point. If they input inverse coordinates, the residual value will be abnormally huge. Then please click right side button Change XY to change control points coordinate in batch and calculate the residual value again Finish Fixing After users fixed more than 2 control points, when moving the mouse on the image, then the fixed coordinate will be showed in the status bar of the software. Meanwhile, if residual value meets customer s requirements, then click right side button Save to 36

41 complete this image fixing. You can import the fixed ZMP image into Q series GIS collector to use. You also can use this software to open the image data and relevant vector data (under the same coordinate system) to check fixed result (as the following figure). 3.3 Project Transfer (*.zgs->*.prj): Project transfer is to compatible former versions before Hi-Q Tools v2.0 and Hi-Q 37

42 v3.0 edition, which is *.zgs as suffix project date crossover tool. Through this function, the former *.zgs project document can be transformed into *.pri as project management document way so that the former projects data can be processed in this Hi-Q Tools software version. After project transformed, the former project will be saved as read-write able way, which can be opened and further operated, such as going pn with data/ objects collection, in Hi-Q v3.0 edition or above. Users can start Hi-Q Tools v2.0 edition or above version, then click Tools -> *.zgs -> prj to start this project transforming function. Firstly, the software will popup document opening dialog box, where users can choose the right.zgs file that need to be transformed. then popup file choosing dialog box, after choose transform item save route, program will show transform progress (as following figure). When transforming project finished, a popup dialog box will show to indicate transformation completed. Finally, program will creat a file save new item data which is same name with original.zgs project. 38

43 3.4 Data Import Hi-Q Tools Software Manual Data importing is to convert other GIS software data format into Q GIS collector data format. By now this function supports importing data format as: *.shp (ArcGIS data format), mif (MapInfo conversion format), *.dxf (AutoCAD data format)*. Whatever the source coordinate is (geodetical coordinates or grid coordinates) or the projection ellipsoid (user defined coordinates or known standard ellipsoid) is, after transform, all the coordinates will be converted into standard WGS84 coordinate system. Users can start Hi-Q Tools v2.0 or above version and then choose Tools -> Data Import to start data importing function. The following is program interface: 39

44 40

45 3.4.1 Choose Source Coordinates Format Before transformation, firstly make sure what kind coordinates the source project contains, geodetical coordinates or grid coordinates. If what you choose is unfit with the actual situation, then wrong values will appear after converting the coordinates, which may cause coordinate conversion failure. If source project coordinates is grid coordinate, the right side Zone needs to be selected to be 0 (none zoning), 3 (3 degrees zone) or 6 (6 degrees zone). If all the projects coordinates you need to convert are different in source coordinates format, please make every partial conversion one by one for every time only one coordinate conversion can be accomplished Add Source File Click Add button choose what you need to transform in the popup opening dialog box. Multi-selection is enabled every time. Click Open to add. if you need to delete some files from the Source Files list, you can just choose the file items and click Remove button. 41

46 3.4.3 Choose Target Conversion File Type Hi-Q Tools Software Manual The types of the target of data conversion has two file type, one which is read-only file (suffix is *xbr) and the other is readable file (suffix is *xrw). The file data of the former is impossible to revise but browsing speed is fast and support huge data size, while the file data of the latter (coordinates and attribute) can be revised but browsing speed obvious slow when the data size is huge. If users need the file to be background for reference, choosing read-only type is advisable Save Path Click Change to choose you needed save path in the popup file select window, as the following figure shows: 42

47 43

48 3.4.5 Set Coordinate System and Start Convert After finish all the above settings, click next to enter the popup projection parameter setting interface as the following figure. Then input relevant conversion parameters (note: these conversion parameters are from standard WGS84 system to user s local coordinate system). Or you can also click Open to open an existed coordinate system. And finally click OK to begin coordinate conversion. 44

49 If convert to read-only file, it will be produced *xbr (coordinate file), *xpo (attribute file), and*xid (index documents) these three files with same name but deferent suffix under the target file path; if the file is able a readable file, it will produce *xrw (coordinate file), *xpo (attribute file), *xgd (index documents1), *xid (index file 2) and *.gps (GPS info file) these five files with the same name but deferent suffix. 45

50 3.5 Data Export Hi-Q Tools Software Manual Data Export is to transfer the format of Q series GIS collector data into others software data format. By now the supported export data format is *shp (Ars GIS data format), *.shp (ArcGIS data format), *mif (Map info exchange format), *.dxf (Auto CAD data format), *.csv (Excel comma file), and *.txt (text file). 46

51 Users can run Hi-Q Tools 2.0 main program or the above version software and then choose Tool -> Data Export to start data export program module as the following figure: 47

52 3.5.1Choose Target File Format Hi-Q Tools Software Manual Pull down Target Format to choose what format you need to export to be. If you need *shp data format, Save Height will show on the right side of the pull-down row. If you choose it by mark a, meaning to input height information. Or only plane information will show. If export format is csv or txt, the below seletion in Option figure Export xyh and Export BLH is single-selectable. Or these are multi-selectable (as following figure): 48

53 3.5.2 Add Source Files box. Click Add button choose what you need to transform in the popup opening dialog Multi-selection is enabled every time. Click Open to add. if you need to delete 49

54 some files from the Source Files list, you can just choose the file items and click Remove button Save Path Click Change to choose you needed save path in the popup file select window Setting Export Option Though multi-select the options below Option to define what to need to export as long as the source file meets the relevant requirements Set Coordinate System and Start Convert After finish all the above settings, click next to enter the popup projection parameter setting interface as the following figure. Then input relevant conversion parameters (note: these conversion parameters are from standard WGS84 system to user s local coordinate system). Or you can also click Open to open an existed coordinate system. And finally click OK to begin coordinate conversion. 50

55 3.6 Txt 2 Dtl Hi-Q Tools Software Manual This function is to make text file which contains particular separating character converted into the data format used for detailed points staking. If users already have coordinate text-format data with particular separating character for division, which need to be exported to Hi-Q software for points staking, to simplify operations and export these data to be a.dtl detail-points format that Hi-Q software can support, please choose Tools -> Txt 2 Dtl to enter a popup function window as following figure: 51

56 52

57 3.6.1 Add.txt file Click Add button to add the needed.txt file to convert. Then the program will automatically recognize the first row of this.txt file to show useful data in Context file box. If the first row can not represent the primary content style of the.txt file, users can click button switch to the next row of the.txt file Select Separator Character choose separating character that txt file uses in Separator pull-down list, the result of which you can see in the Context box (separated by ) as the following figure: 53

58 54

59 3.6.3 Setting.txt File Format Double click separated item in the context box, for example, the first item ZHD2. If this is the point name, then double click PointName in the format list so that the software will take all the first item of that txt file as the PointName. After this operation, the software will automatically choose the second item to indicate users to identify the next item. 55

60 If users want to ignore any item in the context box, or find no relevant content for that item from the format list, users can choose other (ignore). When all items are identified, format list will become gray automatically, meaning format confirming well done, as the following figure: 56

61 57

62 3.6.4 Save User-Defined Format Hi-Q Tools Software Manual After users confirmed this text completely saved format, for users convenience, you can save this format for the later use in the following method: input a name for this data format in the right Name box and click Save button below. Then the format will be loaded automatically the next time when you start this Hi-Q Tolls software. 58

63 3.6.5 Convert to dtl File to.dtl. After choosing the right Save Path, click Start to begin the conversion from.txt 59

64 3.7 Post-Processing Data Updating Hi-Q Tools Software Manual This function is for the data processing of the PostDiff mode. After users do high-accuracy post-processing ( process this route via carrier phase ) to the two static files (from Q collector and another static GPS) in HDS2003 Data Post-Processing software and generate a txt-format coordinates file, users can use this part function Post-Processing Data Updating of this Hi-Q Tools software to replace the points that you collected in Hi-Q PostDiff function in.prj format with high-accuracy coordinates from the.txt file according to GPS time Process the Two Static Files One of the two static files is from anther static GPS, while the other one is the static file Q collector generates when you do PostDiff function Transform Two Static Files into Rinex Import these two files together into HDS2003 Data Processing Software in Auto mode as the following steps as the figures shows: New build a project 60

65 Note: remember your built project name. In this example, the project name is example Import 61

66 62

67 Choose ZHD format and click OK Hi-Q Tools Software Manual 63

68 Choose respectively the two static files and complete the importing 64

69 65

70 Then you can see two static files in the Management Bar : 66

71 Now transform these two files into Rinex format as following figures show: Note: After this transformation, you can find the transformed Rinex files in ZHDGPS Project folder -> example folder in your installation disc for this HDS2003 software in your PC. 67

72 Process the Transformed Rinex Files Hi-Q Tools Software Manual Rebuild a project 68

73 Import the two Rinex files respectively: Firstly import the one from Q collector in Move mode as following: 69

74 70

75 71

76 Secondly import the one from the other static GPS receiver in Auto mode as the following: 72

77 73

78 Now you can see the two files in Management Bar as follows: 74

79 And you can see a dynamic route in Management Bar too after you choose Bseline as follows: 75

80 Process this dynamic route in high-accuracy method: 76

81 Fix the know points (the point file from the other static GPS receiver) 77

82 Generate a high-accuracy txt file Hi-Q Tools Software Manual 78

83 Then you can get: Hi-Q Tools Software Manual 79

84 Please save it to be where what you can find for this hi-accuracy txt file will be used for your later updating points. 80

85 3.7.2 Update GIS Data (*.prj) Press Tools -> Update File 81

86 82

87 collector Press Add *.Prj to add the.prj file which is collected when you do postdiff in Q 83

88 84

89 software Hi-Q Tools Software Manual Click Change to add the high-accuracy txt file you have just generated in HDS

90 Press Load and Update, the software will automatically update the points in the.prj file with the high-accuracy points in.txt file recording to the time matching. 86

91 You can check the result in the below Result bar. Note: the data with red background means that the data did not been updated due to the software could not find the matching GPS time. 87

92 You can click different items such as Tree, Road or Building to check different updating result of the different abjects Coordinate Matching via Time Bias Settings GPS point coordinates can not be normally matched if GPS point s solution is inadequate because of unstable GPS signal or other environment interference. For example, if the surveyor collected one point after he had been staying in this point for several seconds or even longer. Then, in the calculated.txt file, we can take all the coordinates collected during the staying time before the surveyor s finally collection as the useful right coordinates value for updating. In this case, we can set a time Bias, which must be before the final collection GPS time, to achieve the coordinates matching even more appropriately and correctly, which will be automatically done by the software once user set the time bias. Just as the above figure, the coordinate/data in the third line of Tree element could not be matched successfully originally when the time bias set to be 0. As usually, the surveyor will stay as long as about 10 seconds. Now we set the time bias to be 10 so as to let the software to find the matched 88

93 coordinates during the earlier 10 seconds. Then click Refresh, the software will start automatically searching and matching and replace the old coordinate if there is an appropriate coordinate for this updating. You can see the result as the following figure shows: Update V8-S File*.line The same as update GIS project, you only need to click Add*.line after you select one file. Then choose one respective file and follow the same operation as what we did to TXT high precision solved file. 89

94 3.7.5 Export Result After update is finished, click Export button, you can choose different export method to export TXT file, only need to select one save path. Program provide you options including: Export All Record, Export All Updated Record, Export All not Updated Record, Export All Record on Current Page, Export All Updated Record on Current Page and Export All not Updated Record on Current Page Result Save After update is finished, click Save button, you can choose one save path or save automatically in the same folder as current project. The result (new project and file) would be postfix as _Update. 90
