Good Morning

We use a Topcon FC 5000 running Topcon MAGNET FIELD software. We note that MAGNET can import Topcon Survey Job Files (TSJ files) and convert them to MAGNET Field Job Files (MSJ files). Can TDS Ranger Job Files be similarly imported and converted? Can TDS Job files be converted to MAGNET FIELD Job files? Workaround suggestions?

Thx

leegreen can probably answer this but we haven't heard from him in almost a week. Probably a good thing; glad he's busy. But he knows a lot about Magnet Field.

What format is TDS Ranger jobs stored in? I have both Magnet Office, and Tools on my computer. I can take a look. Or, if you could post one for download (email me?) I can give it a try for you.

Not directly. Magnet supports importing certain elements from RAW data from the TDS .RAW file, such as localizations. But the JOB file is proprietary and cant be directly imported, you will have to convert it to ASCII or another common format first.
