DATASET2.TXTese files are similar to the downloaded files collected with a Sokkia SDR22 data llector. The DATASET1.TXT file contains data for the north half of our 65-acre site. This includes collected cross-section patterns. The DATASET2.TXT file contains data for south half of the site. These files contain terrain data features such as the centerline of road, edge of the road, ridge lines, flow lines, power lines, trees, fire hydrants, etc. The ography or ground shots are in a separate file that will be imported later using the Data

ms of Collecting Datae of the more common methods of collecting data with a data collector is collecting tures (such as the centerline of the road, edge of the pavement, sidewalk, retaining ll, stream flow line, fire hydrant, etc.) at random locations. The Data Collection product ows you to collect data in a random fashion, provided you move in a general direction ough the site. For example, you can randomly shoot features while moving in an east to st direction.

hen the line information is coded into the collected shots, the line work is drawn between shots in the order they were collected. This does not mean that you have to collect one ture at a time. Refer to Figure 2-3 on page 17 for an example of a site with randomly

collected points. The Random Coding of Collected Data Table below is a summary listing of each shot, along with the description used to generate the line work information.

Another method of collecting information is in a cross-sectional format. Like the previous example, this does not mean that all the points must be collected in a perfect cross-section. However, the line work should be collected in an organized manner. This means that you must tell the system the order you will be using to shoot the line work.

When collecting data, you can use both methods in the same file.

Figure 2-4 below shows a sample of shots collected using the cross-section method. When we set up the cross-section file, we will instruct the system that every time we enter theforroadefile

letter R, we are defining a cross-section point that was collected using the Zigzag mat. When we collect the data, we will collect the information in the following order: d edge left, road centerline, and road edge right. This information will be entered as a

scription so that the Data Collection product can generate the site graphically when the is downloaded and reduced.

u must establish the cross-section description for the project before reducing the file. r this example, R represents the cross-section pattern in the data collector. On the oss-Section Library dialog box, the name of the cross-section pattern is R, the Style sociated with the name is Zigzag, and the names of the lines we will collect are EPL, , and EPR.

egrating templates along with other methods of collecting data can save the surveyors e out in the field. You may associate a series of approximated geometry (also known as emplate) with a single shot in the field. This may be used to automatically generate curb d gutter sections, sidewalks, ditches, or any other existing feature that only needs to be proximated. The points and lines for the remainder of the template are automatically wn into the CAD graphic based on the location of the original shot for each template.

is means that you only need to collect one shot in the field, where it would have rmally called for several to accurately depict the original ground conditions. The 3-D e Templates may be used by themselves or in conjunction with a cross-section pattern complete an entire survey project, such as a roadway, or to record components of a ject such as curbs, gutters, and sidewalks.

e Work Settingsta Collection provides the capability for you to place lines on any layer, with any color, etype, width, and pattern. In addition, you can indicate if the line work should be masked that it is treated in a special way when used in Surface Modeling. For the class
