LTI Equipment Interface Guide to Trimble's Survey Controller Version 7.5 Impulse 200 Setup ----------------- 1. In the System Menu, choose ON for the Auto Download option. 2. Also in the System Menu, the next option is for Output Format. Choose CR400 and make sure there is no D on the right side of the screen (left Fire button toggle). Toggle the D on when using the Impulse alone for R/L offsets to a line feature. 3. Return to the HD screen. 4. Connect the Impulse/MapStar cable from the serial port on the back panel to the proper port on the MapStar module. MapStar CM Setup ---------------- 1. In the System Menu, set the Download option to Auto. 2. Also in the System Menu, the next screen is the Upload option. Choose Appnd, which will insert the Azimuth reading into the string. 3. Connect the download cable from the left port on the CM to the proper External Sensor port on the Pro XL, XR or XRS system: TDC1: the short, "ESP" cable coming from the receiver pack TDC2: one of the DB9 ports on top of the data collector TSC1: either Top or Bottom port of the data collector 4. Remember to position the GPS antenna at least 18 cm (7") above the top of the CM using the short rod section and quick-release connector. Secure the antenna wire in a fixed location on the system. 5. Perform a calibration once ALL equipment is in place. 6. In the North SEL menu, ensure the Declination (d) and Absolute (A) are set to 0.0 (zero) deg. and return to the North compass loop. MapStar AE Setup ---------------- 1. In the System Menu, set the Download option to Auto. 2. Also in the System Menu, the next screen is the Upload option. Choose Appnd, which will insert the Angle reading into the string. 3. Also in the System Menu, set the data output format to Cr400. *** Note that the AE also has Sokkia's SET format which can be used if desireable. If so, Setup accordingly in Survey Controller. 4. Connect the download cable from the Data port on the AE to either the Top or Bottom port on the TSC1. 5. Reference the AE to either a specified Backsight point or a known Azimuth, whichever method is desired. ----------------------- Survey Controller Setup ----------------------- Declination Setup ----------------- *NOTE* This step can be ignored if using the MapStar AE 1.
