X-Function

LEICA System 1200 - GPS and TPS working together. For all applications, today and in the future

Designed and built to the most stringent standards with the latest measurement technologies, LEICA System 1200 instruments are extremely efficient and reliable, and stand up to the severest environments.

A new, highly intuitive user interface, a multitude of functions and features, powerful data management, and user-programming capabilities are common to both System 1200 GPS and TPS instruments. Operators can switch instantly between GPS and TPS and use whichever is the most convenient and suitable; extra training is not required.

These new high-tech GPS and TPS instruments with identical operation enable you to do every type of job, faster, more accurately and more efficiently than ever before. And most important, you reduce your costs and increase your profits.

Both TPS1200 and GPS1200 incorporate the following X-function features that ensure System 1200 delivers you optimal productivity:

• Uniform operating concept
• Identical data management
• Standardized accessories
• Powerful application programs
• Common Office Software LEICA Geo Office

The operating concept, displays, keyboard layouts, functions, routines and even many of the application programs are identical for GPS and TPS. Use whichever instrument is the most convenient and, best of all, use them in the same way.

GPS1200 and TPS1200's graphical operating concept leads you straight to what you need. Use the default settings, or allocate displays and functions to keys and define your own menu for the way you work. System 1200 adapts to you!

GPS1200 and TPS1200 are supplied with a range of standard application programs to help you perform standard survey tasks such as topographic surveys and stakeout as accurately and efficiently as possible.

For advanced survey tasks a wide range of optional application programs is offered. For special requirements, you can even write your own programs in GeoC++ or contact a Leica software center.

As TPS and GPS use exactly the same format and data management, you can transfer cards from one to the other and work in the same way.

A key to System 1200, is the powerful data management system that is common to GPS1200, TPS1200 and LEICA Geo Office and that allows data to be transferred seamlessly in any direction between any components and between field and office.

Same batteries, chargers and accessories used for both GPS and TPS; keep equipment costs down.

GPS1200, and TPS1200 use the same CompactFlash cards, formats and data management. Transfer cards from one to the other and continue working in the same way. For reliable, long-lasting power, TPS1200 and GPS1200 use the best, high-capacity batteries available. Work for many hours with plug-in Lithium-ion mini batteries. Best of all, use the one charger to prepare all of the batteries required for another complete day of TPS1200 and GPS1200 surveying activities.

Standard application programs - for increased productivity

• Survey - for GPS & TPS
  A powerful program for detail, topo, title surveys etc. For surveying points, lines and areas with or without codes.
• Setup - for TPS
  Setup and orient TPS1200 on a known station or perform a resection by measuring to known stations.
• Coordinate Systems - for GPS & TPS
  Transform WGS84 to local grid. Contains ellipsoids, map projections, transformations - for GPS surveys in local coordinates.
• Stakeout - for GPS & TPS
  Various stakeout methods and orientation choices are provided. Navigate directly from a map or with text and graphical aids.
• COGO - for GPS & TPS
  Full range of coordinate geometry routines: inverse, traverse, lines, arcs, etc. Compute what you need directly in the field.

Optional application programs - for special tasks

• Reference Line - for GPS & TPS
  For staking out relative to defined lines and arcs. Can be used with or without offsets. Use for grids, buildings, drainage, seismic surveys etc.
• RoadRunner - for GPS & TPS
  Comprehensive application program for staking out and checking all types of alignments: highways, railways, pipelines, canals, airport runways, earthworks etc.
• DTM Stakeout - for GPS & TPS
  Stakeout a terrain design and monitor progress during construction. For earthworks, land reclamation, mining etc.
• Sets of Angles - for TPS
  Measure angles and even distances one or more times in face I and face II. Calculate and store the mean values.
• Traverse - for TPS
  With user guidance, measure direction and distance data to compute the coordinates of new stations. Upon completion, view comprehensive traverse closure results.
