ONLY FULL VERSION

 

This command will be used for exceptional works of a linear nature, electrical lines, road alignments etc. To this end points will be acquired with the receiver if there is an alignment file in the project the station will be shown at all times and the displacement of the point read.

 

In this section it is necessary for there to be both file types (*.PUN and *.LON) in the project.

 

          

 

 

The Code box shows as a default option the code reserved for the longitudinal acquisition (SLP), if it is wished to acquire an isolated point just leave the Code box empty, for both cases double codes can be added by clicking the  button.

 

The codes shown when clicking the button   are of the point type and the new codes entered will be stored as a point type in the code data base file of the application.

 

Each recorded point is stored in the points' file; if it forms part of the longitudinal, the first point will be recorded with the SLP I code, LongitudinalFileName, Code and the rest of the points with the code SLP, Code, the isolated points will be recorded with the code which has been selected.

 

On existing this option it will be asked whether it is wished to complete the longitudinal profile; if affirmative, a dialogue will be shown where the Regression boundary  can be entered (establishes the interval on the left and right of the alignment where the points are to be found which are projected onto the alignment); in this way, a longitudinal profile is calculated whose elevations are directly assigned in line with the points there are near the alignment inside the boundary which has been specified. Finally, the points' file will be updated, comparing it with the longitudinal profile calculated and the codes of those points will be modified which have remained outside the profile and the code SLP F, Code will be added to the last point belonging to the longitudinal.

 

 

Upon completing the profile, points acquisition cannot be continued otherwise a new file is not created (*.LON).

 

 allows the last point acquired to be undone.

 

 displays a graphic with the status of the longitudinal acquired up till now.

 

This window indicates the total profile length, the initial station and the final station Furthermore, by checking the longitudinal information about the station and the elevation corresponding to the point selected is shown.

 

 This allows the creation of an empty longitudinal file.

 

In addition to the elements stated in the introduction to the chapter, the project alignment polyline will be shown, where applicable.

 

ONLY BASIC VERSION

 

This same command Longitudinal Profile is available in the basic TcpGPS version with the difference that it does not allow work with the alignment on the ground plan.
