Okay, I went out and did a simple electric easement survey yesterday. Should have been a piece of cake, and the fieldwork was simple. I located a fence, just to show it for reference, no ties to anything for the fence, just for graphical reference.
I am using TDS Survey Pro,4.5.2. I have a custom reflectorless prism set up for power poles, and it has an offset of 0.5 to offset to the center of the power pole. I shot a power pole yesterday, then located about 15 or so shots of a fence reflectorless. I forgot to change the reflector before shooting the fence. I want to edit the raw data file to correct the shots.
For what I am doing, it really does not matter, but I want the information to be correct, and it is more of a learning experience for me.
Any info or advice would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Jimmy
Been there, done that. I think all you can do is adjust each individual distance.
I think that the LINK program is the best way to edit individual shots but there is no field for prism offsets, the program assumes that the slope distance supplied is corrected for the offset already.
As Mike said I think you have to edit eash shot changing the distance as required and then reprocess the RAW file.
T.W.
Thanks for the help. I edited the slope distances, but there should be an easier way to handle that. It would not be all that hard to include something like that in the editing software, at least I wouldn't think so.
For what it's worth ... Copan (from UGL) can process TDS RAW files and can apply a new prism constant (and scale, etc) before processing. It never changes the raw data file though.
