Preamble
In our experience software options are often only used in their simplest forms particularly when
combined with data transfer. This document aims to uncover the more powerful aspects of the
use of LSS combined with the Trimble Survey Controller (henceforth called Trimble SC or simply
SC) or Trimble Access.
This document assumes the use of LSSv9.90.01 or later and the information is based on default
installation/configuration settings and shows the principles and intricacies of the system from any
perspective or knowledge base.
We hope that this document meets all your expectations, but if you feel that it has fallen short in
any way please let us know so that we may improve its structure and content.

LSS Install disc
1. Select the LSS icon and Install LSS;
Follow the default install unless LSS is already installed
on this PC.
Testdata contains example data/settings and includes the
legend prototype for those new to LSS (see Configure).
The Deskey dongle drivers installation will automatically
follow the LSS install but is not needed if LSS is already
running on the PC.
2. Select the “Utilities” toolbox and then File Editor
This will copy the PFE File Editor to the default path
“c:\Program files\PFE” and when linked to the LSS ‘Edit’
button (see below) shows the line numbers whilst you are
editing a file.

Trimble (Install from LSS DVD)
Follow the links to install the applications and support files that are needed for LSS to work
efficiently with Trimble instruments running Access or Survey Controller (SC). Alernatively use
the ‘Files for Surveyors’ menu in the Downloads area of the LSS website or the LSS disc.
Step A – ‘LSS with Trimble PDF’ and ‘Example Feature Library’
File 1: – ‘LSS with Trimble PDF’ - This document explains how to configure and use your
Trimble instrument with LSS. It covers coding and processing your surveys and also how to
upload your LSS model data for setting-out and as-built surveys.
Note: For a full practical training course on the subject of connecting Trimble equipment with LSS
please contact us to discuss your requirements or book from our our training calendar on the LSS
website.
File 2: ‘Example Feature Library’ - created in LSS from the LSS Prototype legend
Step B - Trimble connectivity - Note: not needed if LSS Auto-update is used
These 3 combined installs will convert Trimble Job Files directly into LSS loadfiles.
Install 1: ‘Trimble Link’ – creates the software link between LSS and the instrument. It also
allows the export of the feature library and a 'Trimble TIN model (TTM)' file and supports the
legacy file formats SDR33 and Geodimeter.
Note: The first time that Trimble Link is used it needs to be ‘registered’ with Trimble. as
explained in the dialog.
Install 2: ‘Job/XML reader’
Install 3: ‘LSS Load file converter’
Step C – Trimble Update Office Software – the process by which the PC is updated to the
latest drivers and converters to match those of the updated controllers. This enables the PC to
read the downloaded latest version binary Job files and is required for both Access and Survey
Controller (SC). The warnings “could not find converters” and ''Database Version Wrong, Expect
11.0-74, Actual: 11.10-17'' occurring during download are typical indications that an update is
needed.
Note: only one of the three Options is needed and Option 1 is the most efficient as it
will always be able to maintain the Trimble versions. If you are unable to run TAIM
then you will need to use either Option 2 or 3 to match the software on your controller.
Option 1: ‘Trimble Access Installation Manager (TAIM)’ – this application will update all the
software on the PC via ‘Office Updates \ Update Office’ and also any controller if connected.
Version LSSv9.91
Page 5
March 2014
Option 2: ‘Access Office Software’ - is related to the version of Access Office currently in use
Option 3: Trimble Survey Controller (SC) – requires two installs.
1: ‘Trimble Data Transfer’ is related to the firmware release on the instrument and needs to be
downloaded again when updated. Note: During the install choose the defaults including both
‘Mapping & GIS devices’ and ‘Land Survey Devices’ (which will create the correct folders to help
with the Trimble Support files install below)
2: ‘SC Office Software’ - is related to the version of SC Office currently in use and needs to be
downloaded again when update.
Step D: ‘OSTN02 Grid files’ a zip file containing the OSTN02 coordinate system files and the
text help file ‘Processing OSTN02 GPS.txt’ explaining where to copy them onto the PC. If a
coordinate system is referenced in the Job on the controller then the PC will also need the same
datum grid files, geoid model files or projection shift grid files in order to compute the positions
for the surveyed points.
Note: this step will not be required if one of the following Trimble applications has been installed;
Trimble Geomatics Office (TGO), Trimble Total Control (TTC), Terramodel, HydroPro or Trimble
Business Center(TBC). This is because the coordinate system files already have been
automatically installed to the GeoData folder (referenced in the Trimble software section of the
registry).

Configure logger within LSS
This option creates a configuration setting that allows LSS to directly interface with the Trimble
Survey Controller and process its Job files.
1) To configure LSS to read data from a Trimble SC LSS click ‘New’
(or if other loggers already exist click ‘Change’ followed by ‘New’
on the subsequent Loggers list page).
2) Select ‘Trimble’ as the format and enter a
Description.
3) Click ‘Next’.
4) Select ‘ActiveSync’.
5) If you are always going to be transferring the Job file from the
instrument by another means than ActiveSync e.g. Data Card,
then also tick the box ‘No data transfer/download by
default’ so that LSS will skip the data transfer page by default.
6) Click ‘OK’.
Note: Following the alteration of the logger list the
adjacent dialog will appear when exiting the option.
Clicking OK to ‘Save’ will save the changes permanently
to this PC.

LSS Configure / Hardware & System
This menu option controls the default LSS settings within the registry on this PC.
File Editor – which application opens the
browsed data file when the ‘Edit’ button is
clicked.
Note: PFE is the suggested program to use.
New survey parameters – how a New survey
will be created with general measurement
settings plus the following;
Control tolerances - for Control Observation
warnings and errors.
Target Height – Load issues warnings if a
target height is outside this range.
Copy Prototype from – an LSS model that
contains a feature legend template and display
settings.
Note: the LSS model ‘Prototype.LSS’ is
available in the ‘\Testdata\Prototype’ folder
(see above) and if copied to, say,
“d:\<Survey Folder>\Prototype” it can be user
defined.
Saving the configuration changes
Click ‘OK’ returns to the ‘Configure / Hardware & System‘ dialog
where ‘Finish’ will replace ‘Cancel’ if any changes have been made.
Click 'Finish' will offer the ‘Configuration changes’ options.
To save the changes select ‘Save’ and click 'OK' when LSS will
permanently save these settings on this PC.

Station set-up

Select ‘Survey’ from the SC Desktop and the relevant
LSS Survey Style.
Note: New styles can be added via ‘Configuration /
Survey styles’ on the Trimble SC.

Select Station setup

Provide Corrections if requested. To ignore these
specify ‘?’ for Pressure, Temperature and PPM and
‘None’ for Curvature and Refraction.

Provide the set-on and backsight stations from the ‘list’
along with the instrument and backsight heights.
Note: The stations can be either;
1) existing e.g. exported from LSS, in which case
use the arrow to the right of the input boxes to
select from the list, or
2) they can be defined as coordinates and azimuth
during the set-up procedure itself.
Note: The Instrument Height is measured to the
cross on the side of the grey Instrument panel and
the Backsight Target height might be a Detail Pole
or additional Tripod mounted Target.

Point the instrument and click ‘Measure’ for a distance to the backsight
Note: There are 3 other set-up options;
Station Setup Plus will be rarely if ever be used,
Resection can be useful in confined areas, and
Use Last allows you to continue an existing setup.

Check your Measurement values and Enter or Store to proceed … or Redo if necessary.
Note: Checks to known points are always useful at any time during the Survey

Once the Station Setup has been successfully completed select ‘Survey / Measure Topo’ to
start collecting topographic detail or ‘Survey / Stakeout’ for setting-out.

Trimble Access
Code Library
A FXL code library needs to be copied to the instrument from LSS
a) The LSS example ‘LSSv9.80Trimble.FXL’ (which was created from the LSS Prototype legend) can be
found on the LSS disc ‘Support Files\Trimble\SC feature library’, or
b) Created directly from the users own customised prototype legend using the LSS option ‘Export /
Upload code lists to survey instruments’ (see below).
The selected FXL code library needs to be copied to the ‘Trimble data\System files’ folder on the instrument.
Create a new Trimble Access job
1) On the Trimble Access logger, select
“General Survey”
2) Click on “Jobs” then select “New
Job” from the list.
3) Enter an alphanumeric Job name.
4) Specify a Template if required. A
Template is a file containing
previously defined Job settings. A
template can be specified by
selecting “Settings” from the main
Trimble Access menu, then
“Templates”. If a template has not
been defined, or not required, then
leave as “Default”.

5) Click the ‘Coord. sys.’ button and, unless otherwise required, select ‘Scale Factor Only’ of value
‘1.0’.
6) Click the ‘Units (Dist.)’ button and set the Eastings and Northings to the correct order and
select metres.
7) If required, click the ‘Linked files’ button to select a CSV (Comma delimited), TXT (Text) or an
existing SC Job files to over display data.
8) Again, if required, click the ‘Background files’ button to select data for background display e.g.
DXF.
a.
LandXML – put the XML files into the ‘Trimble data’ folder under the user Login name folder.
This can be Observations (works as well as the Trimble Link export which maintains the Obs
ID – which the DXF cannot do – DXF does give the obs as well but just not the Obs ID),
Linework (works similar to DXF but no colours or linestyles? – is this true when using a
feature library?), Triangles (works as well as the TTM format), Roads etc
b.
DXF – the lack of Point IDs is balanced by the use of the map to pick the obs graphically
Note: To create a DXF file from LSS use
‘Export/Autocad DXF’, type in the DXF file
and select ‘As per Configure/DTM Display…’
and click ‘OK’. Then copy the DXF file to the
‘Trimble data’ folder on the SC.
9)
Click the ‘Feature library’ button and select the FXL file exported from LSS.
a. This can be copied from, either the LSS DVD folder
“\support_files\trimble\sc_feature_library\LSSv9.80Trimble.fxl” (which was created from the
LSS Testdata Prototype survey), or direct from LSS when a different prototype legend is
required.
b. The LSS option to create an FXL code library is ‘Export / Upload code lists to survey
instruments’ (see below).
c. Copy the FXL to the ‘System files’ folder
d. The emulator folder is ‘Program data\trimble\trimble access emulator\trimble data’

Station set-up in Access
1) Once a Job has been created, click
“Measure” then select “VX & S
series…”
2) Then select “Station setup”.
3) Enter the Instrument point name
(Set-on station). This can be either
selected from a “List”, or enter the
name manually, together with the
instrument height and coordinates.
There is no need to enter a code at
this stage.
Click “Accept”
4) Enter the Backsight point name.
Again this can either be selected from
a list or typed in.
5) Type in the Backsight height (target
height), then set the Azimuth.
6) Ensure that the Method is set to
“Angles and distances”
Version LSSv9.91

7) Point the instrument and click “Measure”
Note: There are 4 other set-up options;
Station Setup Plus will be rarely if ever be used,
Resection, Refline, and
Use Last which allows you to continue an existing setup within a Job.
Check your Measurement values and
Enter or Store to proceed … or Redo if
necessary.
Note: Checks to known points are
always useful at any time during the
Survey
The instrument will display the
measurement details.
8) Once the Station Setup has been
successfully completed select ‘Measure / Measure Topo’ to start collecting topographic
detail or ‘Measure / Stakeout’ for setting-out.
9) Measure Topo
a. Control observations - during detailing use the ‘-ST’ reserved code. The station
name should be added as either:
i. the PointID, or
ii. appended to the code i.e. station ‘A’ coded as '-STA'

Data processing – Input/Download and Convert
This option will download and convert survey data from Trimble SC.
1)
From the main menu select Input / Download/Convert.
2)
Select the required logger using the ‘Change’ button.
 Note: Tick the ‘Data transfer/download not required’ box if
the Trimble Job file has already been copied to the PC.
Otherwise follow the LSS connection by ActiveSync to Browse
the Job file on the instrument.
3) Click 'Next'
4) Browse to the 'Trimble Job file' from the Trimble SC if
you have not used the ActiveSync connection.
5)
Make sure the LSS load file input box is empty and
Click 'Next' to automatically provide the next available
load file number for the current survey.
6)
If you are using GPS equipment set the quality
control values that you would like LSS to report to.
7)
Click 'OK' and LSS will create a Load file directly from the Job file.
8)
LSS will then prompt whether to Save and Load etc the newly
created load file. Click 'OK'
9)
The 'Save and LOAD file' option will automatically invoke Input
/ Load and highlight the newly created load file.
 Note: If the load file name is for a survey that does not exist
then the ‘Save and Load’ option will create a new survey prior to
Input/Load.
22) Click 'OK'
Version LSSv9.91
Page 17
March 2014
Data processing – Input/Load
The ‘LSS Load Input file’ is the format by which all external data is processed into LSS e.g. data
from a survey instrument has to first be converted to a load file via the Input / Download &
Convert option.
Loading data into a survey model
1) Once the conversion has completed and
the load file has been created via ‘Save
and Load’, LSS will automatically continue
to the ‘Input / Load’ option.
2) The correct load file will be highlighted
e.g. ‘.001’ if ‘Save and Load’ has been
chosen.
3) Leave the options as per default and click
'Next'.
4) As the load file is processed so a report is
produced showing all relevant information
e.g. comments, setups and control
observations. Any warnings or errors
found in the data set will cause the
processing to pause. An error will not allow
‘Input/Load’ to complete.
5) If the survey is empty and no station coordinates are
provided prior to the first instrument set-up then an
Initial Set-up dialog will be presented to verify the
position and orientation.
6) Click ‘OK’.
7) If control observations
have been made to an
existing station then a
table of differences is
reported between the
stored and observed
coordinates. The
'Difference (slope
distance)' is a 3D vector
combining X, Y and Z.
8) Any misclosures that exceed the ‘warning’ parameter are labelled Large differences, and
Load will pause. Likewise for any that exceed the ‘error’ parameter except that here Load will
not complete.
9) If available, Click 'Continue' then 'OK' to complete the load and display the data. This includes
updating the triangulation to create a seamless DTM.

Setting-out with LSS and Trimble SC
Export/Upload to Survey Instruments
1. From the main menu, select ‘Export/Upload data to
survey instruments’. The selected logger uses the
parameters as per Input/Download & convert.
Note: the logger parameters can be set by clicking
the ‘Change’ button or by using Configure/Hardware &
System / logger.
2. Leave the default option Trimble Link selected and
click 'Next'.
3. This dialog allows the selection of
observation and station data.
4. The defaults assume that the
‘Observations’ will be exported using
the Selection filter. Click ‘Next’.
Note: The observations can have the
code added to the point number, which
can be related to the SPF chainage.
5. A warning dialog is shown by Trimble
Link that the resultant job file created
by this option on the SC will not have
a coordinate system.
6. If chosen the Selection filter dialog will offer
the opportunity of multiple observation
selection criteria. As soon as there are
observations selected then the 'Cancel'
button is replaced by ‘Finish’. Click ‘Finish’
once all required data is highlighted.
Note: The data selected by the Selection
filter is grouped in the export set first as
complete strings and then as individual
points related to their loaded order. To
export the observations in the order they
were located use ‘Individual observations’
from the previous dialog.
Version LSSv9.91
Page 19
March 2014
7. There is the possibility of repeating several selection criteria /
method to the same data set. If required click ‘Add more data’
and then choose to add more observations/stations. When ‘No
more data’ is chosen see below for the data transfer.
8. Choose the connected device to export to and click
‘Open’.
9. Trimble Link displays the list of current jobs on the SC
and offers the LSS survey name as the default for the
job file name to be created. Click ‘Save’ to accept this
and transfer the data to the SC as a new job file.
Note: the file format needs to be selected to match
the SC firmware version.
Version LSSv9.91

Tips and Tricks

If you want to use the setting out by asking it to follow by point number sequence and
therefore need the LSS generated points to be sequential with no gaps
o once the survey has been edited, with all your design additions and the links have
all been strung as required, use ‘Output Survey’ with the ‘Renumber’ option
switched on and load this load file into a new survey
o If you wish to follow all one type of string first all the way around and then return
for the next type of string, say, for building plots then you will need to join all the
points up in the order that you want them. If any of the strings overlap then make
sure that all the obs are put in non-terrain then when you use the option ‘Respect
overlay – For obs in current survey’ in ‘Output survey’ all the data will respect the
terrain or non-terrain settings in the new model. When reloaded all the joins that
are no longer needed before moving the obs back into terrain. This will stop points
of the same level being inserted on the intersections of terrain crossing links.
Version LSSv9.91

Stakeout
1. The above procedure creates a Trimble SC job file on
the device chosen. In order to set-out this file it first
needs to be opened. Select ‘Files / Open job’ from the
SC desktop menu.
2. From the list of job files ‘Select’ the one to open.
3. Click on the ‘Map’ menu option on the right hand side of the SC
desktop to display the data. The warning screen is displayed because
no projection exists. Click ‘OK’.
4. The data points are then shown to a default extents
screen.
5. Follow the procedure for creating a background image of
the survey using ‘Export/Autocad DXF’ (see
documentation on this procedure) then select ‘Files /
Properties of current job’ to select the DXF as a
Background file. Click on ‘Map’ again to view the data
with a background.
Version LSSv9.91
Page 22
March 2014
6. Stakeout is required for setting out or positioning a point in
Trimble SC Software. Select ‘Survey/ Stakeout’ from the
SC desktop menu.
Note: A Station setup or Resection is required first before
‘Stakeout’ can be accessed (see documentation on
instrument set-up procedure)
7. From the Stakeout drop down Menu make your selection as
displayed. From LSS we will traditionally be selecting either
Points, Lines or both from the setting-out data.
8. Click ‘Add’ to select the data to Stakeout. LSS recommends
that you select either by : All points, Points within Radius,
Points with same code
9. Here we are using Points within Radius
10. Now select the Point, Line or Stringi and tap ‘Stakeout’
11. Locate your Point then Re Measure and Accept if within
required tolerance
Version LSSv9.91

Stakeout – using the Graphical Display
1. Alternately points may be selected from the Map display. This works
identically to the Operation described above.
2. Open the Map, then Tap and hold to make your selection
3. The graphical display in stakeout helps you to navigate to a point.
Note that the display orientation assumes that you are moving
forwards at all times.
4. The first display shows which way the Instrument should be turned,
the angle that the instrument should display and the distance either
from the last point set out or measured to the point currently being
staked.
5. Turn the instrument to the appropriate line and direct your assistant
until he is on line
Note: If you are working in Autolock or Servo (2 Man) and Auto turn is
active the instrument automatically turns to the point. If you are
working robotically (1 Man), or when Auto turn is switched off, the
instrument will not turn automatically, to operate this tap ‘Turn’
6. If the instrument is not in TRK mode tap Measure to take a
distance.
7. The display shows how far the person holding the Pole should move
either towards or away from the instrument
8. Direct the person in or out and take another measurement.
9. Repeat steps 2-5 until until the correct point has been located, and
then mark the point
10. If a measurement to the target is within both Angular and distance
tolerance, tap <Store> to accept that measurement.
11. To discard the measurement and start again tap <Esc>.

Note: If you are operating robotically i.e. remotely from the Target



The instrument automatically tracks the prism as it moves
The instrument continuously updates the graphical display
The graphical display is reversed and the arrows are shown from the Target to the instrument.
As staked point details


To see the differences between the design point and the as-staked point before you store the point
select the <view before storage> check box and set your required tolerances
The Staked delta values are reported as differences from the as-staked (measured) to the design
point.
Always END Survey Upon Completion

Export Onboard Instrument DTM
Before exporting a surface make sure that you have edited the data, the links especially, to
create the correct set of triangles and breaklines.
Note: For models that have multiple surface height / depth values use the Output Surface
Boundaries option to prepare a model that otherwise would have vertical sides between
surfaces of varying depths (where the resultant DTM of duplicate coordinates with different levels
will not be representative of the original LSS model).
Please see the Tutorial for Output Surface Boundaries option for a run through of how to create a
correct formation model.
Select ’ Export/Onboard instrument DTM/Trimble TIN
model (TTM)’.
Select Create File and enter a filename and a Model
name for the TTM.
If base /top of surfaces is required then make sure
that you have prepared the model correctly using the
LSS option Output Surface Boundaries as
described above and tick the box
‘Adjust levels for surface height / depth’ option
Click OK and the TTM file will be created.
Version LSSv9.91

Using a TTM file on Survey Controller
To use this DTM file on the SC select ‘Survey /
Stakeout’ after opening the required job and carrying
out a set-up procedure.
This will offer a replacement menu that the contains
the DTM option. Select this.
A few questions/dialogs are necessary…
When surveying points within the area of the DTM the
Trimble SC will now report the cut/fill difference to
the DTM model.

Photos / Images and Trimble Access
When an image is recorded, Trimble Access will prompt the user as to what to attach the image
to. The options are:
 Job
 Previous point
 Next point
 Point Name
Regardless of when you record an image on the controller, Trimble Access will dynamically sort
the data in the job file.
Photos recorded as an Attribute will also be output in the 8, record. (This is only relevant to users
who have created a Photo attribute in their code library using TBCs Feature Definition Manager).
There is currently no facility in LSS Export Code list to allow for a photo attribute.
The Job file and its attached photos/images can be transferred to the LSS survey folder, using
either:

Windows Explorer (via Active Sync/Mobile Device) or a memory device. The images are
found in the Trimble Data folder and the relevant ones can be found by date reference.

Via the ‘Trimble Link’ Trimble DC for EDM option which will also transfer a DC file but
which itself will not be used.
Once the Job file and image files are in the LSS folder then move the Job to a sub-folder ‘Jobs’
and the images to a sub-folder ‘Images’.
Following this use the option ‘Trimble Job (EDM and GPS) via Active Sync’ with the ‘No data
transfer/download’ option ticked then browse the Job file and process.

Export an FXL feature library to Trimble SC
An LSS legend can be exported to the Trimble SC as a feature library in the following way.
1. Open a survey containing the legend you wish to create as a code library.
2. Select ’ Export/Upload code list to survey
instruments/Trimble – FXL Library file (recommended)’.
3.
Provide the feature code library name.
4. ‘Select’ the required point features and tick the box ‘Use
trailing digits as dimension attributes’.
Note: with dimension features e.g. the trees PT1, PT2 etc,
LSS requires that the legend also contains the stub such as
PT. Although LSS will still produce only one feature PT with a
dimension attribute the PT legend feature will aid the
processing.
5. ‘Select’ the required link features.
6. Tick the ‘Tree features’ tick box and enter one of each of
the spread and trunk features e.g. PD1 and PS1 as per the
LSS prototype.
7. Leave the ‘Extra LSS codes’ box ticked to include all the Reserved codes etc.
Note: This option will also export the ‘String codes’;
‘.A’ - ‘Add new string’, ‘.P’ - ‘Loop to first point’, ‘.T’ - ‘Terminate string’.
‘.J’ - ‘Join to previous’ is still used but is now a point feature.
8. Click ‘OK’.
9. Type the feature library name and click ‘Save’.
10. Copy the created FXL file to the ‘Trimble data’ folder on the SC.
11. Then set this feature library by ‘Files / New job’ or ‘Files /
Properties of current job’ and select the ‘Feature library’ (see
Create a New Trimble SC job above).
Note: Some of the entries exported by ‘Extra LSS codes’ have dimension attributes e.g. –SO
(string offset), which are currently recognised by Trimble as integer vales and need amending in
the Trimble feature library to 3 decimal places. To avoid this use the example LSS feature library
on the LSS disc (which contains the amendment) as the base and export just the new point and
link features that you require and cut and paste them from this temporary feature library into the
base.

<OFF>) to the holder
Switch the 5600 on and wait for one beep followed by a double beep, then press
the<Green> Power button
on the ACU and switch on the Active target (on switch
beneath the Glass RMT).
The Instrument will activate Remote connection - check the small green lights are
flashing. Once the ACU has been attached to the tray and powered on the Trimble
Controller will connect to the remote Radio (red light on top of Radio flashes) and then to
the 5600.An instrument icon will appear towards the top right of the ACU display .The
5600 will then reinitialise the compensation .This is a good sign as it proves that the Radio
link has now been built.

Survey / Measure Topo
Alternative Methods of Measurement may
be useful at some stage in particular :

H.Angle offset

Single dist. Offset
 Tip …..
Remember …. On screen HELP
< ? > it might be useful if unsure



To offset a point press ESC.
Then press the TRIMBLE key and select STD.
Highlight the METHOD, press the RIGHT ARROW and choose either SINGLE DIST.
OFFSET or H. ANGLE OFFSET.
SINGLE DIST. OFFSET type the distance into the DISTANCE box and select LEFT, RIGHT, OUT
or IN as shown below.

The Instrument is in Position “1”, The Detail Pole is
in Position “3” and the dimension entered is “2”.
 In Robotic mode from the pole, 4=LEFT, 5=RIGHT,
7=IN and 6=OUT.
 In 2-man mode from the instrument, 5=LEFT,
4=RIGHT, 7=IN and 6=OUT.
Press MEASURE and the point will be stored with that offset.
H. ANGLE OFFSET (ideal for trees), stand so that the measured distance to the centre of the
object is correct and press MEASURE.

The distance and VA have now been measured and the ENTER key has now changed
it’s function to MEAS HA.

Walk so that you are inline with the centre of the object and the instrument (so that
the instrument will measure the correct HA) and press the ENTER key.
You can switch from MEASUREMENT METHODS Angles and distance, H. Angle offset and Single
dist. Offset as often as you wish throughout a survey

Exporting to LandXML (Quick Guide)
1. Trimble Access / SC - Export LandXML
a. File handling - Copy LandXML to logger ‘Trimble data’ folder and use
Map/Options/Layers to pick relevant data sets to be used from within the LandXML
data
b. To set
i.
ii.
iii.
iv.
this up graphically with a Job
click on Map
click on the ‘Up Arrow’ icon
choose ‘Layers’
click the ‘+’ icon next to the LandXML file to view the ‘DTM surface name’,
‘Lines’ and ‘Points’. Click twice on the LandXML file to set the box and the tick
on all three items. This allows the data to be both viewed and selected
c. To amend the graphical view select the ‘Up Arrow/Options’. Here settings like Display
labels ‘By Name’ will show the Point numbers etc
d. Links – the string numbers are accepted as supplied in the LandXML – but Trimble
does not need there to be any numbers as it handles all features with same name as in
fact unique but to make the LSS export standard it uses string numbers because
others do not accept same string names as easily or at all.
e. If the strings return to a duplicate coordinate i.e. are looped, then Trimble Access
automatically shows a shaded area (known as polygons which can be hatched within
the Map/Layer/options.
f.
Points – the observation numbers are properly recognised
g. Triangles – this is automatically imported and displays height banding based on DTM
h. Alignments – have to be Defined in Roads as “name”.RXL
i. choose the relevant string as the Road name then click on Edit and then Store
keeping the same name. This alignment is then seen on the
Map/Options/Layers file list as an RXL
ii. There is apparently an issue with the alignments errorring if they have null
coords – not sure how to reproduce this but it may be alleviated by LSS sorting
out the non-export of null levels as -9999 etc

2. Export Job using Trimble Link
a. Copy Job, DXF and TTM to the Trimble data folder
b. DXF has colours – but although it has the string labels it does not have
i. the user obs – what obs numbers does Trimble give it if at all (see next point
where the vertices are not seen by Trimble unless the link is complex) – if so
what happens if this is duplicated when the LandXML obs with correct obs
numbers is imported?
ii. If the link is complex and is exported as a block then it also imports the
insertion point as a node which can be seen as an obs – this may cause
duplication issues when LandXML obs are imported (see above)
c. For string numbers does it export the string labels if data from MX
d. The TTM also needs to be exported as the DTM - To set this up graphically with the Job
i. click on Map
ii. click on the ‘Up Arrow’ icon
iii. choose ‘Layers’
iv. select TTM
e. This option can support linework, as it is already outputting the correct string code
values – otherwise the DXF will also be needed and this also needs to be linked to the
Active Map by selecting DXF as per TTM above
f.
When using Trimble Link / Trimble Data Transfer
i. “General Survey” refers to Access
ii. “Survey” refers to SC
g. The exported Job does not have a “coord sys” created so when opening the job on the
instrument this will be a warning. The value needs to be amended to at least an “SF of
1.0”.
i. To provide a “coord sys” LSS would need to also send a calibration set – this
should be available in Trimble Link
h. Due to the ‘issues’ with the file handling using export Trimble Link it would be possible
to just export a CSV (for point numbers and cords) as well as the DXF and TTM.
