I am working on a program to convert LeicaXML observation files to Starnet. In a format that I am happy with.
This is planned to include

  • All observations to a point listed in commented out section with the splits and means for both faces calculated. Overall average observation left uncommented.
  • Direction sets
  • Use of reciprocal obsrvations to calculate refraction factor
  • Use of temperature and pressure to adjust distance PPM.

As part of this, so far I have got to outputting the raw observations to excel. The idea being that they can then be viewed and any corrections made if necessary to point names, instrument heights, prism constant that may have been wrongly entered in the field.

In the next part of the program the edited excel file will then get processed into starnet DAT as outlined above, maybe with more "hold" points as necessary.

If any one wants to test my program so far just let me know. It's programmed in Python 3. I have managed to compile it though so you don;t need to have Python installed on your system.
