Leica TPS-100 series Instruments

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

Data transfer between the TPS-100 Series Total Stations and the system

You must have the TPS-100 series instrument connected to the computer via the serial port.

When using the Field Transfer/Input/Data Recorder or the Field Transfer/Output/Data Recorder commands with a TPS-100 series device selected, ensure that the selection for the Comms Settings are the same on the instrument and the computer.

The TPS-100 series instruments utilise a user definable data format file to define the format of the data downloaded to the computer. There is a default format file called TPS100.FRT installed in the default User folder. This file is set up to define a format suited to the system. You may create your own format file using the Leica TCFORMS application, and replace the existing file with a different format of the same file name. But be very careful if you do this, as the format must be compatible with the TPS-1000 series data formats.

Operation Code Support

The Leica TPS-100 Series supports all the LEICA/WILD Operation Codes. You may use the Leica TCTOOLS application to create a Code List and upload it to the instrument. The Code List must be created to match the format file used. For the default format file, (TPS100.FRT), use the Code List TPS100.CDE located in the default User folder.
