Introduction
Installing Topcon Tools
If earlier versions of Topcon Tools or Topcon Link are already installed, the InstallShield® Wizard will first uninstall these earlier versions before installing the latest version.
1. Navigate to the Topcon Tools executable file or insert the CD ROM software.
• If downloading the software from the TPS website, save the downloaded compressed file to an accessible location and extract the Topcon
Tools executable file. Double-click this file.
• If downloading the software from a TPS CD, insert the CD software into the computer’s CD-
ROM drive. The InstallShield Wizard starts up.
When the installation completes, create a shortcut on the desktop from which to quickly start Topcon Tools.
Starting Topcon Tools
Depending on your software module, you will need either a hardware lock or an access code to start
Topcon Tools.
Topcon Topcon Tools Quick Reference Guide
Starting Topcon Tools
• If you have purchased a hardware lock (USB dongle) do the following to access it:
– download the drivers from the site http:// www.safenet-inc.com/support/tech/ sentinel.asp and install them on the computer.
This allows the computer to access the hardware lock.
– insert the hardware lock into the computer’s
USB port and start Topcon Tools.
• To acquire access codes, do the following:
– start Topcon Tools, press the Request link in the Licenses dialog box. The following e-mail will be automatically created:
– after receiving the access code, press the Add
Code
button on the Licenses dialog box and type in (or paste) the code into the Access Code entry box on the Enter Access Code screen.

TopSURV job files supports two formats:
• TopSURV *. tsj. This job is created in TopSURV ver 7.0 and later:
– In TopSURV ver 7.0 or later, the *.tsj file is saved on the controller so that this file format can be opened by Topcon Link/Topcon Tools/
Topcon Topcon Tools Quick Reference Guide
Importing Files From a Controller
TopSURV PC. Topcon Link/Topcon Tools are used only for transferring the *.tsj file from the controller to the computer without format changes. Moreover, the user can use a removable memory card to transfer the *.tsj file from the controller to the computer.
• TopSURV *.tsv job. This job is created in
TopSURV ver 6.11.03 and earlier:
– In TopSURV ver 6.11.03 or earlier, the *.tsv file is saved on the controller. But Topcon
Link/Topcon Tools/TopSURV PC version cannot open this file format. Topcon Link/
Topcon Tools have to convert mobile devicebased formats to computer-based formats.
Topcon Link/Topcon Tools performs the conversion during the import process from the
*.tsv
file to the *.tlsv file. This format (*.tlsv) is then opened by Topcon Link/Topcon Tools/
TopSURV PC.
4. To view the collected files stored in a controller, click the desired folder where *.tsv/*.tsj job files are stored.

Viewing Data
Once the job has data, the various views provide an interface for editing and processing the data.
• Use the Tabular view for viewing points information, viewing vector or occupation information, viewing data with the same names, and sorting lines in alphabetical order by time or by increasing or decreasing values.
• Use the Map view for displaying a common network configuration, estimating the mutual position of points and vectors, and finding the necessary vector or point.
• Use the Occupation View for displaying occupations.
• Use the CAD view to display the linework view and DTMs with the associated points and lines. A
Topcon Topcon Tools Quick Reference Guide
Viewing Data special CAD view for images is also available
(right-click an image and click CAD view).
• Use the 3D View for displaying linework, surfaces and roads as three dimensional images. Surfaces and roads are displayed with the color of the surface layer. Lines are displayed with the applied color(s).
• Use the Codes for viewing a list of all codes and their attributes used in the job. This view is also used to add codes to the job.
• Use the Layers for viewing a list of all layers, and associated parameters, used in the job. This view is also used to add layers to the job.

Editing and Processing Repeated
Observations
To import data into the Job, do the following:
1. On the Tabular view, click the GPS Occupations tab.
In this example (Figure 4-1 on page 46), points
b|1,b|3...b|6,b|8 have several files for each measured point.
2. To process vectors and perform a network adjustment, press Shift and click a group of points
(for example, each b|1 point).

3. Click one of the selected points in the Point Name column. Enter in a new name and press Enter to assign the new point name to the selected points.
Renaming the points assigns files measured on the point to the corresponding point.
Note: Only the point’s name and number are changed; original occupation names, occupation number, and vectors remain unchanged.
Figure 4-2 on page 47 displays the multiple
unprocessed vectors on the scheme as a thick gray line.

This section describes adjusting GPS vectors and viewing the results.
Step 1: Fix Control Points
The main function of the adjustment process is to adjust measured vectors using fixed control point coordinates and heights (for 3D types). To fix control points, do the following:
1. To fix one or more point coordinates, open the
Properties
dialog box for the selected point.
2. In the drop-down list of the Control field, select Both to fix vertical and horizontal coordinates, then click Apply.

• Auto-rejected vectors (blunders) are detected using a confidence level and a posteriori standard errors of unit weight. A vector with the biggest error is rejected, and free adjustment repeated until all vectors with errors are rejected. Rejected vectors are not used in the final adjustment.
