Chapter 5 Preparing Input Data
TRAVERSE DATA TYPE
The Traverse data type allows you to quickly traverse from point to point in a traditional
manner, with a minimum of data entry. There may be as many traverses as required
within a project data file. Each traverse must begin with a single “TB” line, continue
with one or more “T” lines, and end with a single “TE” line. The format of the Traverse
line is described below, followed later by descriptions of the Traverse Begin and
Traverse End lines.
The “T” Code: Traverse - All Measurements to Next Traverse Point
Format for 2D Data:
T At Angle Distance [Std Errs]
Formats for 3D Data - Depending on the “Distance/Vertical Data Type” mode:
T At Angle Slope Dist Zenith [Std Errs] [HI-HT]
T At Angle Horiz Dist Elev Diff [Std Errs] [HI-HT]
The following example shows the organization of the data for a small 2D traverse. In
data files containing multiple traverses, each traverse must be ended before beginning
another. Measure lines and other data types, however, can be freely intermixed with
Traverse lines to define other independent angle or distance observations.
# Simple traverse data
#
TB 5 # Backsight on 5
T 7 100-00-00 100.00 # Start at 7, traverse to 9
T 9 240-00-00 150.00 # At 9, traverse to 10
T 10 78-50-00 85.00 # At 10, traverse to 15
TE 15 # End at 15
