5 Import MultiStation MS50 Data
This command is used to import scan data from the Leica MultiStation MS50.
DBX and HeXML are the data formats that can be derived from the MS50 onboard software
directly or from office software. Please find below information and differences of these formats:
DBX data structure
This format describes a database in which all job related information is stored. It includes all of
the MS50 observations from the different type of measurements
Figure 19
Scan related information is stored under
•
Images
contains single and panoramic
images (*.jpg)
•
Scans
contains pointclouds (*.sdb and
*.bmp)
 This format cannot be used for importing scans and images into Cyclone!
HeXML data structure
From the MS50 or office software a job can be exported into a standardized XML structure which
combines all information from the DBX files. Depending on how the job is exported from MS50
or office software the HeXML file does or does not contain a link to the scan and imaging data.
For import in Cyclone one of the following export options should be used as links to the scan
and imaging files will be stored inside the HeXML file:
