Nikon 500 Series Total Station Instructions
This document contains instructions to download or upload field data from or to the Nikon 500 series total stations. To download or upload, you need coordinating instructions for Terramodel and the data collector. For information not included in these instructions, see the Terramodel User’s Guide Addendum, the Terramodel online help or the documentation for the Nikon that you are using.
To download or upload Nikon 500 series data to/from Terramodel, you need the following items to begin:
• Terramodel 9.8 software (called Terramodel below) with the Nikon scripts available on the Download/Import and
Export/Upload options lists (accessible from the File menu).
• Nikon 500 series total station
• For downloading, a job must exist on the total station with raw or coordinate data.
Note: If you want to download raw data from the Nikon, do not use the specialty Nikon .lgr files. The Nikon 500 series allows you to export data in either of two Sokkia/SDR formats. There are two SDR formats, SDR33 and SDR2X. The SDR2X format supports 4-byte numeric point identifiers; for this data use the Sokkia 2x.lgr. The SDR33 format supports 14-byte alphanumeric point identifiers; for this data use the Sokkia 33.lgr.
• The Import and Export scripts mentioned in these instructions are editable. If the script on your system has been edited, some of the Terramodel dialog boxes mentioned in the instructions may not appear. Don’t worry if this happens; just skip to the next step and continue the process.
