ProLINK enables you to convert files to different file formats
that can be used with various software programs, such as CAD
packages. You can import and export files from both the Field Book
Editor and the Reduced Coordinates View. Conversions are available
whenever you select the Import or Export or the Send and Receive
options from the File menu.
For example, when you select Import from the File menu, the
conversions will be available in the Import Conversions field.

The Import Conversions available in the Import and Receive
dialogs are listed below with a description of the type of file
that uses the conversion. Make sure to select the conversion that
matches the external format.
Note: Files can be imported only to a field book in the Field
Book Editor. You cannot import files directly to the Reduced
Coordinates View.
SDR Files (*.SDR) This conversion converts any file from a
device that uses the SDR format for data. ProLINK automatically
reads the file to determine whether the file is in SDR33 or SDR20
format and imports the file to the proper ProLINK records. Devices
that use this conversion are:
SDR Electronic Field Book POWERSET Total Station (Internal
memory and SDC memory
card) SET 100 Series Total Station SET5F/SET5W Total
Stations.
SCR Files (*.SCR)This conversion will allow the SCR format to be
imported into the Field Book. The data can be imported directly
from the card, using the Receive option and select the SCR format.
This conversion can also be used for importing files that already
exist on the PC.
SET5F/W Field Book (*.SET)
The data files, in this format, cannot be received directly from
the SET Total Station but if a file exists on the hard drive of the
com-puter it can be imported into the field book with this
conversion.
SET6F/Field Book (*.SET)
The data files cannot be received directly from the SET Total
Sta-tion but if a file exists on the hard drive of the computer it
can be imported into the field book with this conversion.
SETBII/SETE/Field Book (*.SET)
The data files cannot be received directly from the SET Total
Sta-tion, but if a file exists on the computers hard drive it can
be imported into the field book with this conversion.

matches the coordinate order and the delimited format of your ASCII
file.
