Measurement - Transformation

On the Transformation tab, select a session

The Transformation tab displays the coordinates that have been imported from an instrument of type GPS.

Transformation tab

Description

Select Session/Name

Selects the session to view. By default the session name is GPS <number>.

Create Session

Creates a session. Use this function to manually add a session to the current calculation project.

Delete Selected Session

Deletes the selected session.

Detail Points area

To exclude or include detail points from the adjustment calculation. The command applies to the selected session.

These commands can also be started for the whole calculation project. See also Detail Points Configuration

Activate All

Includes all detail points of the selected session by setting the Active attribute in the Measurement Data tab.

Deactivate All

Excludes all detail points of the selected session by clearing the Active attribute in the Measurement Data tab.

Session area

Displays the session measurement.

Name

Displays the session name. If you use the default name, this field is empty. The default name is GPS <number>, and it is displayed under Select Session / Name.

To modify the name, enter a new name.

Number

Displays the session number. The session number is created automatically. It indicates the order in which the GPS files have been imported.

Attention:

The session number can be used to control the determination of the transformation parameters.

For example, if you want to use one particular session to determine the transformation parameters, you use the session number to address the session. See Transformation Parameters

Instrument

Specifies the instrument.

Operator

Specifies the operator.

Parameter

Displays the transformation parameters: translation, rotation, and scaling. Click to display all options.

See Transformation Parameters

The measurement is displayed on two tabs, Measurement Data tab, and Results tab.
