I bought a used?ÿTrimble S6 with a Ranger and Trimble Access (? 2013 version).?ÿ I have used Survey Pro for 25 years.?ÿ The transition has not been perfectly smooth.?ÿ I use the Trimble ASCII file generator to convert my Trimble *.job files to either a *.Rw5 file or a *.fbk file.?ÿ Neither one of these shows the prism or prism constant being used.?ÿ When Survey Pro creates a *.RAW file the prism and prism constant information is shown.?ÿ Is there any way for me to get the prism information from a Trimble Access *.job file.?ÿ I want to be able to look at my raw data and make sure the correct prism and prism constant was used.

?ÿ

Thanks

If you open a dc file with a simple text reader can see where your prism constant, as a stated offset, doesn't appear.

What you end up with are raw measurements, distance also, followed by a string of corrections that you're currently set up for.

If I don't have TBC or Access handy to review the prism changes, I use the JXL (JobXML) format, since it is the same format as any other XML file. Export to JobXML in the "Import/Export" screen, choose "Fixed Format" and select JobXML.

Open with Notepad or an internet browser. Search for the <PrismConstant>?ÿrecords; they will be found whenever a station setup is performed, as well as when the constant is changed manually/on the fly.
