Autosketch: Draw associated to surveying points automatically made
in real time depending on point code.
Layer: Group of Project’s graphic information under same name.
Entity: Graphic items group which make an unit. There are stored in
layers.
Backup files: Active files backup. There are only restorable if there is a

Objects Browser: Graphical and numerical information structure in a
project of Pocket CARTOMAP.
Total station position: Total station’s physical placement data. Station
position will be defined by instrument height and bearing.
QUADs: Quadrilateral which define the geometry of an entity from
Standard section. They make the digital model of lineal design. There
could be roadway, cut or fill.
Sight: Measured point or station data from other station. Sight will be
defined by horizontal & vertical angles and distance measured to each
point.

Interface
Graphical screen: Screen zone where CAD project elements are shown. On it
are executed CAD operations. To determine a position in this screen, you must
click on it.
Objects browser: Represents information structure in projects of Pocket
CARTOMAP. It shows objects which form the project and relationship among
them. You can create, modify and establish properties of all project objects
(layers, stations, points…).

Connection with total station or GPS
Steps to be followed:
•
•
•
Physical connection of both devices.
Configure Pocket CARTOMAP.
o Select instrument.
o Configure communication parameters.
Read data.
Physical connection of both devices
To connect physically Pocket PC with total station or GPS, following hardware
is required:
A. Cable DCE-DTE (Data Communications Equipmment-Data Terminal
Equipment) which connects a total station with a desktop computer,
provided by supplier of total station.
B. Cable which connects Pocket PC with a desktop computer, provided
with Pocket PC. This cable could be linked to Pocket PC base.
C. A switch that connects A and B, formed by:
o A connector changing from male to female to establish
the physical connection of cables.
o A connector performing cables switching, also called
“Null MODEM”.
In case to establish Pocket CARTOMAP as solution to field data
capture, there are available independent cables from Pocket PC base
and cables with enclosed switchers. Contact [email protected] for
further information.

Bearing sight. The surveying is beared by horizontal angle
measured and azimuth calculated by system. In this type of sight,
distances are not read. Position disorientation will be modified after
doing this type of sight.
Point reading. Angles and distance of the viewed point will be
saved, and a new point will be generated with this data. Automatically,
this point will appear in graphical screen.
Traverse foresight. Angles and distances are measured,
when carrying traverse calculations out sights that make the outward
way will be automatically detected. Moreover, a station with the
measured data will be generated if it doesn’t exist.
Traverse backsight. Angles and distances are measured,
when carrying the traverse calculations out the sights that make the
return way will be automatically detected. A station with measured data
will be generated if doesn’t exist.
Direct intersection sight. Angles of viewed point are
measured. When select carrying direct intersection calculation out
system detects automatically which are this type of sights and use them
for this calculation.
Reverse intersection sight.
Reverse intersection sight measuring distances. Angles
to viewed point or angles and distances to viewed point are read. It is
necessary to create a station with arbitrary coordinates from will be done
this sight. Carrying reverse intersection calculation out, system will
detect automatically which sights are from this type, using them for that
calculation and modifying coordinates of initial station.
It is important to well select sight’s type because later they will be used
to make some calculations.
10. Select layer where measured data will be stored.
11. Insert index point and/or sight name which will be measured.
When insert index point, you could use character *, that allows you to
number it consecutively. So, you could generate point groups with
index P1, P2, P3,... pointed out before as index of point P*.

Icon
allows to change size of Reading dialog box. When you
minimize the screen, it shows only minimum icons necessary to read
points quickly, which allows to take data batteries of the same type
and to view a greater graphic display zone and the browser to facilitate
sketch. The system will assign points’ index automatically and, as long
as not indicated, it will keep prism height and point’s code.

Automatic drawing from codes - Autosketch
It exist the possibility of carrying a sketch out from coding, in real time. In
order to do that, drawing characteristics associated to each code must be
defined, establishing differences among punctual, linear and superficial
objects.
So, when assigning a code to a point, predefined items will be drawn,
obtaining sketch draw in real time during field works. In case of code changes,
draw would be updated with introduced changes.

punctual, linear or superficial.
Select layer and entity where drawing
will be saved, in Generate in entity and
Generate in layer.
Define draw:
o Punctual: Select Object type
(circle or symbol) and establish the radius value by
default, the size and bearing according to the option
o Lineal: Select a line type and a colour for line.
o Superficial: Select a type of line, a filling and a colour for
close line.
If values of 0 for size and bearing are set, the value of these parameters
will be asked in draw instant.
Codes are assigned while measures are done. Steps are the following:

Assign a code to a point...
1. Select icon
from Reading dialog box.
2. Codes list create in the project will be show.
Letter on the left side of selector, points out
autosketch type defined for a code:
o N, non-defined autosketch.
o
C, punctual autosketch (circle).
o
Si, punctual autosketch (symbol).
o
L, linear autosketch.
o
S, superficial autosketch.
3. Select code or codes you wish to apply to that point.
4. If you wish, a suffix could be assigned (first list on right side name’s
code) which determines items collection including this point and size
of circle or symbol if necessary (second list on right side name’s code).
Suffix is used to define several lines with same code or several surfaces.
For example points with line-1 code, belongs to one line and points
with line-2 code would belong to another different line.
When saving points, an associated draw will be automatically assigned and
shown on graphical screen in real time.

options are on toolbars on right side graphical screen, as shown in Toolbar
figure in Chapter called Interface of this guide
It is important to select correctly current layer and current entity when you
draw or set out points, because this layer is where new data are storaged.
Current layer or current entity is designated by icon
next to the entity or
layer name.
After selecting any draw option, information line inform about steps to be
followed in each moment.

tolerable, the point will be materialized.
It is possible to save a set out point’s record, selecting the option:
Create points. Exists an special option to set out head and feet slopes,
which carry necessary iterations out to set out real point in field.
