Output Digital Terrain Model

(This functionality is available with the Input / Output module)

Transfers the currently selected terrain model to certain instruments that that support terrain models (e.g. TPS-1000).

Output Digital terrain Model dialog box

Item	Used to
Scale Factor	Enter a scale factor to be applied to the co-ordinates being uploaded. (Only available when distances are set as ground distances in the Utilities/Configure/Units dialog) Important note: Ground co-ordinates are fictitious as they are the co-ordinates with the scale factor applied from a zero origin and will generally be dramatically different from the grid co-ordinates. This has been intentionally done to minimise the possibility of mixing ground and grid distances. If the instrument supports local scale factor use this feature and output the co-ordinates in grid.
Upload file as	Enter the name to be given to the uploaded file on the data recorder. Only available for certain recorders.
Auto Numbering	If there are alpha numeric point identifiers selected for transfer to the data recorder, and the data recorder does not support alpha numeric point identifiers, select this check box to have automatically generated point numbers transferred to the data recorder instead of the point identifiers. It is best not to use alpha characters in the point identifiers if your data recorder does not support alpha, as auto generated numbers do not relate to the point identifiers thereby making it difficult to identify points in the data recorder.
Extended Format	Specify that the Leica/Wild format required is the extended 16 character format.
Offsets
Numeric:	Key in a point identifier offset to be added to the numeric part of the point identifiers that are being transferred. Use a negative number to have it subtracted.
East:	Key in a value to be added to the East co-ordinates of the points that are transferred. Use a negative value to have it subtracted.
North:	Key in a value to be added to the North co-ordinates of the points that are transferred. Use a negative value to have it subtracted.
Close	Close the dialog box without transferring the data.
OK	Put the system in a ready state to send the data to the data recorder. You should ensure that the data recorder has the correct communications set, is connected to the correct port, and in a ready state to receive the data. If the Port Communications setting for the data recorder is set to FILE, pressing the OK button will first display the Save As dialog used to name the file to be created.
