Data that has been read into Carlson Survey can be exported via: CGTrav | Create Star*Net File
Notes:
StarNET (.DAT) The import handles the following StarNET record types:
- E - Elevation record
- C - Coordinate record
- B - Bearing / Azimuth recordM - Measurement record
- SS - SideShot record
- TB - Begin Traverse recordT - Traverse record
- TE - End Traverse record
- DV - 3D Distance Record (creates a slope distance/zenith angle record)
- D - 2D Distance Record (creates a horizontal distance)
- A - Horizontal Angle Record (creates an angle-only record)
- V - Zenith Angle record (creates a zenith angle-only record)
When parsing these records, if a measurement, coordinate or azimuth has standard errors assigned to it, thenstandard error records are created in the RW5 file so none of that information is lost.
The import also handles thefollowing DOT commands:
- .ORDER - Specifies point order (AtFromTo or FromAtTo) in the measurement record, and/or the order of NORTH/EAST or EAST/NORTH in control records.
- .DELTA - Specifies whether the data is SlopeDist/Zenith or HDist/VDist. The default is SD/ZE..2D / .3D - Specifies the data format. Without this information the fields can be confused while parsing.
