Chapters

• 00:00 - 00:30: Introduction and Overview The chapter titled 'Introduction and Overview' begins with a warm welcome from the presenter, who introduces the long-awaited tutorial on data downloading from Geodimeter total stations, specifically models 400 and 500. Despite some people's anticipation, not everyone was eagerly waiting for this tutorial. The presenter emphasizes that this procedure can be done with any data download program, although Pandriver will be used in today's video. The initial step involves setting up the instrument and connecting it to the PC using a serial connection.
• 00:30 - 01:00: Connection Setup In 'Connection Setup,' the process of setting up connections for a device is discussed. The chapter highlights how one serial cable is attached to an instrument while another is attached to a PC. An alternative method using a serial USB adapter is mentioned, which allows the use of a USB port instead of a serial port on the PC. A link to the necessary cables is provided in the descriptions. Instructions are given on what to do once the instrument is powered on.
• 01:00 - 01:30: Skipping Leveling The chapter 'Skipping Leveling' provides instructions on how to bypass a specific operation by interacting with function 22 and compensator 0. It then describes how to proceed to program 54, which facilitates data downloading. The steps include transferring a file from a specified location and saving them in the internal memory, followed by transferring a JOB, an AREA, or a UDS, with the example choosing a job and pressing 1.
• 01:30 - 02:00: Data Transfer Setup This chapter covers the initial setup for data transfer, focusing on creating and naming a job. The user is guided through the process of entering the job number and selecting the destination for the transfer. There is a crucial emphasis on communication parameters, which are vital for later stages. Furthermore, the chapter introduces the Pandriver tool, hinting at its role in creating a new job.
• 02:00 - 02:30: Pandriver Configuration The chapter titled 'Pandriver Configuration' provides instructions on checking communication parameters between an instrument and a program. It involves navigating through utilities and preferences to a specific icon for the total station instrument, selecting the correct internal memory setting, and choosing appropriate communication parameters.
• 02:30 - 03:00: Selecting Communication Parameters In this chapter titled 'Selecting Communication Parameters,' the process of setting communication parameters for a serial port is explained. It is important to identify which port was used on the computer, usually listed as 'COM3' in the device management section of the computer's settings. The user can then select this correct COM port. The additional parameters to be set include the baud rate - recommended at 9600, data bits at 8, and no parity with 1 stop bit. These settings are commonly displayed on the device's screen, making it easier for users to configure them correctly.
• 03:00 - 03:30: Starting Data Acquisition The chapter titled 'Starting Data Acquisition' explains the initial steps required to begin data acquisition using an instrument. It mentions setting the correct parameters, saving the settings, and starting the acquisition process. This involves opening the instrument in an orange mode and using the green total station symbol to begin acquiring data directly from the recorder. It emphasizes the immediacy of these steps, indicating they should follow one another closely.
• 03:30 - 04:00: Completing Data Download In this chapter, the process of completing a data download from a total station is described. Once the message 'acquisition successful' appears, the job is downloaded and can be exited while saving the changes. The chapter provides an example job created in a studio with random measurements to demonstrate the download from a model 400 or 500 total station.
• 04:00 - 05:00: Conclusion and Additional Information The chapter titled 'Conclusion and Additional Information' provides a summary of the key points from the video. It reiterates how to download data from instruments, specifically focusing on cases where internal memory is not installed. Viewers are invited to contact the speaker via comments or email for further assistance or if interested in installing internal memory.

COME EFFETTUARE LO SCARICO DATI DA STAZIONE TOTALE GEODIMETER 400 E 500 Transcription

• 00:00 - 00:30 Hi guys welcome back in this new video. Finally the tutorial that everyone was waiting for ok, not all but many have asked me about the data download from the 400 and the 500 the Geodimeter total station from which you do not remove the keyboard in short to understand these here you can do this procedure with any data download program, for today's video I will use the one we always use: Pandriver, let's move on immediately. First thing to do is set up the instrument. To connect the instrument to the PC you will need a serial serial
• 00:30 - 01:00 cable . One serial will be attached to the instrument and the other serial will be attached to the pc for convenience if you want you can use a serial usb adapter this will allow you not to directly connect the serial to the pc but use this adapter using the usb port as if it were a port serial I leave you the link of the cables in descriptions and if you are interested once you turn on the instrument it will ask you to level if
• 01:00 - 01:30 you do not have time to waste you can skip this operation by clicking on function 22 compensator 0 at this point we can move on to program 54 which is the one that will allow us to download the data enter transfer file: from where you want to transfer the file and we have saved them in the internal memory here asks us to transfer a JOB an AREA or a UDS, we choose a job and then press 1 at
• 01:30 - 02:00 this point we will have to enter the name of the job 1234 is my job enter and then ask us where you want to send this job we will click on three serial. This values ​​are very important and they are the communication parameters you check them well because you will need them later and I will show you why once we get to this point we can open Pandriver, we will create a new job we can
• 02:00 - 02:30 call it Test. What I advise you to do is check the communication parameters between the instrument and the program, so you have to go to utilities, preferences, go to the symbol of the green total station instrument and here you have to select the correct setting internal memory as regards the 400/500. You can choose the communication parameters
• 02:30 - 03:00 , I explain them: serial port depends on which port was temporarily occupied inside the computer, if you do not know it you can go to DEVICES, device management and we will find our port which is called COM3 once I know I can close and from here I select the correct COM, while 9600 8 1 and none I can see it from the screen that showed you
• 03:00 - 03:30 before on the instrument once the correct parameters have been set we can press on save settings at this point we have nothing else left than to start our acquisition by opening the instrument in orange from here and then always the green total station symbol that it will acquire directly from the recorder. At the same time or in any case immediately after you have to
• 03:30 - 04:00 press enter on our total station once this message "acquisition successful" appears the job will actually be downloaded from the keyboard we can exit save the changes, of course and here is our job. Obviously this was a job example I made it in the studio just to have something to download in fact as you can see they are random measurements, in short, this is the data download from a 400 or 500 from
• 04:00 - 04:30 Pandriver.
