How to use Forums
Our forums on Land Surveyors United are here to be used as much for finding help with problems in the field as the are for you to express your opinions on anything that has to do with land surveying in general. Feel free to share anything that is on your mind, as long as it isn't meant to damage another member's reputation. Please keep it clean and help insure that everyone has the opportunity to enjoy the benefits of being part of a community that grows together.
We are committed to allowing freedom of expression for all of our members, and that includes maintaining a safe space for people with opposing views to express themselves. We get posts from all over the country and even the globe, so needless to say, people come with different viewpoints on lad surveying practices and processes. We see this diversity and variety as a real strength-- dialogue and debate are an integral part of the educational process, as well as an important tool in exploring different sides of complex issues.
All
Community Hubs inside the community have their own forum for asking specific questions to other surveyors, by location, equipment type, etc.

Hi Carel,
I knew it was not what you are looking for My file is copyright protected and also very large File.
It is hard to find a small enough file that gives a polar to rectangular calculation,then computes new coordinates, then has a print command at the end from a Total Station or not. Here is another site I use that you may find something similar to what you need. They also have a form to ask ??? or help.

That's fine, just wanted you to know. Thanks a lot for your help!
Hi Carel,
This maybe not what you looking for but similar,It is for converting files from a Zeiss TS to text in Java.you can access the code if you need it. It comes in German or English .
Hey Billy,
thanks for your quick reply and I'm sorry for my belated answer.
The zip file contains a program that can convert several coordinate files into a different coordinate format for example the REC file into a pkt file. But it doesn't calculate the coordinates of surveyed points. But still a great help of yours, thank you :)!
Hi Carel,
I also use this site ,it is very good. I am trying to find a smaller version similar to mine.
But you may have luck here. Anyway it's a great site. I have used it a long time. You can sign in with
facebook .

HI Carel,
There is nothing wrong with your file, it was my AV that would not let me open it.
Just though I let you know this. I forgot I changed a setting on it and the firewall.
Hi Carel,
I do not know if my Java code will help you it is a very large program and it does not pertain to that TS only.
I am a member of a programmers site called Code Project,there is a lot of Java code writers there. It also has a forum for Java code for you to ask for help or you have a question. you may like to join here anyway.
There is more than 13 million members someone there can help you I am sure of it ,with what you
exactly need. Hope this helps.

Hi Carel,
Are you asking for Java code to this TS. or just code. Also I could not get your REC file to open??? is this a video. I will try something different.I can not find what my problem is with opening it.
Java code would be great, the REC file is a Zeiss generated surveying protocol which can be read by any text editor.
first number of line
point number
point code
followed by the coordinates, X,Y,Z or the surveyed parameters.
D for slope distance
Hz horizontal direction
V1 vertical angle
I did something but I'm not really happy about my result, just thought that might've been a task for someone who studied land surveying or is interested to solute such problems by themselves.
here are a couple of manuals which may hold the secret until someone comes along with a better answer
