Husky Hunter / Optimal Field Operations

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

This topic documents lists the field operations that may be used when performing field surveys with the Husky Hunter / Optimal data recorder for processing in the system.

Field Coding - Code Definition

The code definition in the system should be set as CCCCCCCCSS and Non Numeric. Refer to the Settings/Code Definition command to make these settings before processing Husky data and ensure that this code structure is used in the field.

Field Operations - Husky Line Tag Codes

If the following characters appear as part of the Optimal Line Tag Code, the system will interpret the line as follows:

"S" - Straight Line (default)
"C" - Spline
"A" - The next 3 points will join as an Arc
"L" - The string will be closed.

All other Line Tag Codes will be ignored.

Operation Codes

The remarks column may be used to record the following operation codes.

To implement an operation code, the first character in the remark MUST be a '.' (period).

If this is not the case, the remark will be interpreted as a point description.

Operation Codes Supported.

.D Dimensions of a symbol defined by the related code

Examples

.D0.6 - with code MO (manhole - circular) defines a circular symbol of dimension 0.6
.D10.0 - with code TE (Tree) defines a tree symbol with spread 10.0
.D10.0D1.0 - with code TE (Tree) defines a tree symbol with spread 10.0 and trunk 1.0

.R Offsets

.RL Offset Left
.RR Offset Right
.RA Offset Away (forward)
.RV Offset Towards (back)

Example

.RL2.1 - offset of 2.1 left applied to point

.S Squares/Rectangles/Steps (First side defined by current and next observed point)

Examples

.SL Square to the left
.SR Square to the right
.SL2.6 Rectangle of width 2.6 to the left
.SR2.6 Rectangle of width 2.6 to the right
.SL2.6ST1.0 Rectangle of width 2.6 to the left broken into 1.0 steps
.SR2.6ST1.0 Rectangle of width 2.6 to the right broken into 1.0 steps

(The step operation code ST must immediately follow a rectangle left or right operation code - it cannot be used in isolation)

.CR - Defined circle

.CR10.0 - a circle of 10.0 is constructed at the point

.P - Point Description

To enable a point description to be included with other for the same point operation codes, P followed by the description may be entered as the LAST operation code in the remark.

Example

.RL1.65POFFSET 1.65 Point will be offset 1.65 to the left and with have a description of 'OFFSET 1.65'

Notes: Station and RO names must conform to the system Point Identifier specifications (that is ".A" as an identifier is not permitted).
