2 Softrock Manuals Overview Softrock has produced a range of manuals to assist the user of its systems and software to gain the most from these products. Each manual has a unique numbering system, which allows for easy crossreferencing: Module Number Module 1 Module 2 Module 3 Module 4 Module 5 Module 6 Module 7 Module 8 Module 9 Module 10 Module 11 Module 12 Module 13 Content QuikSlope Manual AutoSlope Manual Quikcom Manual Softrock Automated site At A Glance AutoSlope Installation Manual Leica Onboard Slope Monitoring Manual FieldSat Manual AutoSat Manual ATS Pocket PC Manual Analyzer Manual QuikSlope5 Manual GeoMos Training Manual AutoWeather Manual A quick example of cross-referencing Module 2 AutoSlope Manual Index number Instrument Settings Refers to Module 2; Chapter 15; Section 3, Subsection 1. This cross-referencing scheme can be easily be used across any Softrock manual. For example in Module 1 QuikSlope Manual, Database creation. We regularly make use of cross-referencing to other manuals within our software collection. This avoids repetition, makes for easy updating, and provides an efficient method to record information. It is therefore important that the user understands this unique numbering system, as all the information for our programs cannot fit into a single manual. Page 2 of 41

5 6.1.1 Introduction This manual describes how to use the Leica onboard monitoring software so that the information gathered can be downloaded into QuikSlope for processing and analysis. The onboard program is used for repeated automatic measurements. It measures angles and distances to predefined points. The measurements can be: Repeated as often as necessary At any time Performed on both faces (a) (b) Diagram 1 a to b Elements of Measurement Page 5 of 41

6 6.2.1Monitoring Steps Overview Leica 1000 Series 1. Level the instrument 2. Enter Temperature & Pressure 3. SETUP the instrument Page 6 of 41

7 4. QSET the instrument 5. Start monitoring program Page 7 of 41

8 6.3.1 Instrument Setup The following adjustments need to be completed before any work with the instrument can be commenced. 1. Place the instrument onto the tripod or survey pillar this is best done by removing the tribrach from the instrument and screwing it onto the tripod or pillar. Using the foot screw (3) level the bulls eye bubble. 2 Place the instrument into the tribrach and secure using the black lever to lock the instrument into place. After this is done, insert the power cable and power up the instrument, the instrument should open up in the main menu. 3 The instrument can now be levelled using the electronic level, to do this hit the button below F3 the button that has the little spirit level symbol. This will display an electronic bulls-eye bubble on the screen of the instrument. (point to not here is that the instrument must be in face 1 position this is easily checked simply ensure that the bulls-eye bubble on the instrument is closest to you) also ensure that the face plate containing the display is parallel to two of the foot screws. This done you can now use the foot screws to level the instrument. If you have levelled the bulls-eye on the tribrach correctly the instrument should be reasonably level. Page 8 of 41

9 To level the instrument using the foot screws you must follow these steps. Using the two foot screws that are parallel to the face plate using only your thumb and index fingers you can begin to level the instrument. By turning thumbs together or thumbs apart you will see the bubble on the screen move when you have moved it in the desired direction and happy with the alignment in that plane you can then use the remaining foot screw to adjust the instrument in the other plane. If you are happy that the bubble sits well over the cross hairs hit the CONT button. YOUR INSTRUMENT SHOULD NOW BE LEVEL. Page 9 of 41

10 6.3.2 Instrument Settings in Detail The following steps are required to set up the instrument ready for use. This requires the input of known coordinates for the instrument station and the REF station (Backsight). A bearing and distance between the two points should also be calculated as this will allow for checking in the field. Also ensure that all unnecessary file are deleted from the Memory Card. You will need to record the temperature and pressure for the ppm correction. To do this, follow these instructions: From the Main Menu go into the measure mode screen. Hit F6 Meas From the Measure screen go into the target data screen. Hit F4 Target From the Target data screen go into the PPM screen. Hit F2 PPM Page 10 of 41

11 In the PPM CORRECTIONS screen the data for calculating PPM can be entered. ATM Pressure: Temperature: PPM Total: X.X hpa (Enter recorded Pressure) X o C (Enter Recorded Temp) XXX ppm (PPM will be displayed) Hit ESC To get back to Main Menu Now you should be OK to measure. Note: You need to check this prior to all new set ups and make the necessary changes Instrument Orientation First ensure the instrument is in the Face 1 position this can be checked by looking at the position of the bulls-eye bubble between the standards of the instrument. If it is not facing you then it is in the wrong position another way to check is the position of the vertical tangent screw this should be on the left hand side of the instrument as you look through the telescope. Or look at the Telescope face display field on the Measure mode screen. Page 11 of 41

12 6.3.4 Instrument Data Setup Setup the instrument for recording data, and then record the instrument station setup. From the Main Menu screen, go into the setup screen. Hit F5 SETUP Start-Up menu is displayed.

Point No: REF 1 (Check this, your first shot after setup should be to your REF, Edit if required) REF1 Height: Hz: XX o XX XX (Check this, this is the Bearing from the instrument station to the REF this value should be calculated before going to the field if this is not correct then you have made a mistake) V: XX o XX XX (This is the vertical angle to the REF Target) Slope Dist: (This will be blank until you measure) Horiz Dist: (This will be blank until you measure) Hit F1 ALL, wait for beep this will measured and record all the data necessary. On the screen you will notice that the point number has incremented by 1. You are now ready to start picking up your prisms or targets. Before you do, you need to edit the point number to suit the nomenclature nominated for the prisms or targets. Typically P1, P2, etc is used but you may have a specific convention. Edit the point number to suit. Clear the cell using the CE button on the keypad Turn the instrument to the first target or prism in the group using the gun sight on the telescope to get close then fine tune the sighting using the horizontal and vertical tangent screws. When you are happy with the centring of the target hit F1 ALL the instrument will measure and record the position of the target. The point number will increment by 1 if this is not desirable then you edit to suit the appropriate name. This done turn to the next target and sight as above when you are happy with the sighting hit F1 ALL Page 16 of 41

17 Repeat this process for all targets in the group. Your last shot should be back to the REF target or Backsight ensure that you have the correct name for the point number. Again sight the target and hit F1 ALL. You have now measured all of your targets. You are now ready to use the Monitoring Program follow the following steps. Hit ESC the Main Menu should be displayed. Page 17 of 41

SS am (This is where you set the BEGIN time to begin observations typically you would set this before the actual time when doing continuous observations.) DD: MM: YY (This is where you enter the END Date for you observations typically you would set this to several days after the current date or even weeks for continuous obs.) HH.MM.SS am (This is where you set the END time to END obs typically you would set to time consistent with the start time on the date you want the obs to end.) XXh XXm This is where you set the DELAY time between observation in continuous operation. That is you can set it typically to 5 min So that when the instrument has finished the round it will start measuring the prisms again. You can make this what ever interval you desire. Edit these fields to suit you requirements, typically for an immediate start you would make the start date before the actual date. Similarly with the time you would make it before the actual time. With the End Date you can set this as required but for continuous operation you would set this several days or even weeks ahead, again similarly with the time. The delay is the amount of time you want the instrument to wait before continuing on to measure the round or group of targets. This delay can be what ever you like typically for continuous monitoring it is set to about five minutes or an hour depending on the requirements for data and the risk. Hit CONT Hit 3 Point Measure The instrument will now begin the monitoring process. Wait for it to measure the REF and the first prism in the group, if this works OK you are now working. If you have nominated a specific start finish time and date then you will need to return to the instrument to pick up the memory card for processing. Page 20 of 41

21 6.6.1Downloading and Data Management Remove the PCMCIA card from the instrument. Insert the card into you PCIMCA Card slot on your computer / laptop. Open Windows Explorer and you should see the drive: Click on the GSI Folder, this should contain your.gsi files. Select the measured data file (file01.gsi - file12.gsi, that you set in the measure file section of the setup) and copy this into your QuikSlope Project AREA. You can rename this file to correspond to the desired location, pick up date or what ever. Process the Data File in QuikSlope. After you have processed the file in QuikSlope, delete the measured data file from the Memory card. Note: You require the following files left in the GSI directory. Survey Control file. i.e CONTROL.GSI Prism Location file. i.e PRISM1.GSI With Windows Explorer the GSI files can be renamed. Remember that the name length is restricted to the 8.3 format ( GSI) i.e. CONTROL1.GSI Page 21 of 41

22 6.7.1 Memory Card Setup You may have to set up a generic driver for the PCMCIA drive on your computer / notebook for reading the SRAM card. SRAM Cards do not come with drivers, it has always been the OS vendor's responsibility to include support for these devices. Unlike previous versions of Windows, SRAM drivers traditionally included on Windows distributions are not included with Windows 2000 and XP. The following information explains a work around to get Windows 2000 and XP to recognize and use PC Card SRAM SRAM Card Windows 2000 driver Be certain your Windows 2000 has been upgraded at least with Service Pack 1 and that your hardware is up-to-date and capable of allowing the use of PC Cards in your computer. 1) During the Windows 2000 hardware set-up process choose Display a list of known drivers... instead of Search for a suitable driver. 2) Select the category Memory technology driver. 3) Select the M-Systems DiskOnChip2000 driver from listed manufactures System Flash Disk Pioneers. 4) Click Yes on the Update Driver Warning message, continue and click Finish to complete the set-up process, click No from the restart Windows message. 5) Access Device Manager and highlight M-Systems DiskOnChip2000 from the category Memory technology driver (it has the conflict symbol). 6) Access the M-Systems DiskOnChip2000 and click Update Driver from the Driver tab. 7) Choose Display a list of known drivers... instead of Search for a suitable driver... when the options appear. 8) You should now have more default driver options, select the Centennial PCMCIA Memory Card driver from listed manufacturer Centennial Technologies Inc. (other drivers may work, but the Centennial driver was used successfully in testing). 9) Click Yes on the Update Driver Warning message, continue and click Finish to complete the set-up process, click OK from the properties window then Yes from the restart Windows message. 10) When Windows restarts, you should see a new drive letter and icon from My Computer or Windows Explorer Page 22 of 41

23 SRAM Windows XP driver Be certain Windows XP is up to date with the latest Service Packs and the host hardware correctly supports PC Cards. 1) Insert the SRAM card into the PC Card slot 2) When the 'Hardware Wizard' appears, select 'Install from a list or specific location (advanced)' 3) Click 'Next' 4) Select 'Don't search I will choose the driver to install' 5) Click 'Next' 6) Scroll through the list of choice and select 'PCMCIA and Flash memory devices' 7) Click 'Next' 8) Double click 'generic' under the Manufacturer listing 9) Select 'Generic PCMCIA Memory Card' from the Model listing 10) Click 'Next' 11) Click the 'Yes' button when the warning dialog appears, to dismiss it 12) Click 'Finish' when the 'Completing the found new hardware wizard' dialog appears SRAM - Leica The Leica instrument recognises 2 card formats. (RAW and FAT). The SRAM card has to be formatted in the FAT format by the computer. This format allows the card to be read on your computer as well as the Leica instrument. Note: The Leica will recognise the FAT formatted memory card when inserted, but will not display any memory details, until the instrument writes to the card (measure and record a point).
