12 Transfer Survey Files
This chapter describes the contents of survey files and how to
transfer them to a PC.
12.1 Survey files
Survey data files are automatically saved in the REFLEX™ EZ-COM
unit.
The Survey Name entered when starting the survey is stored in the
header file. That name is used to identify the survey in the
REFLEX™ EZ-COM unit and in REFLEX™ SProcess.
In the file system (as viewed when connecting to a PC), the name of
the survey data file is the Survey Name entered when the survey was
created; provided that the name is maximum 7 characters long, for
example DEMO_1.
If the Survey Name is more than 7 characters long, the name of the
survey file is a prefix (indicating the type of survey; SS, MS or ORI)
and a serial number count, for example MS_0001.
The reason for the file name difference is that
REFLEX™ EZ-COM has
a basic operating system, which has a limitation when it comes to the
length of the file name.
12.1.1 Single Shot
Single Shot surveys generate two data files:
SS_xxxx.MLH
SS_xxxx.MLR
The .MLH file is a text file that contains header information about the
survey. The .MLR file is a binary file that contains the raw data for
each survey station.
A Single Shot survey with added single shot measurements has the
name of the original survey.
12.1.2 Multi Shot
Multi Shot surveys generate two data files:
MS_xxxx.MLH
MS_xxxx.MLR
Reversed Multi Shot surveys generate two additional data files:
MS_xxxxR.MLH
MS_xxxxR.MLR
The .MLH file is a text file that contains header information about the
survey. The .MLR file is a binary file that contains the raw data for
each survey station.
12.1.3 Orientation
Orientation surveys generate two data files:
ORI_xxxx.ORH
ORI_xxxx.ORR
The .ORH file is a text file that contains header information about the
survey. The .ORR file is a binary file that contains the raw data.
Note, Orientation surveys are not recognised by
REFLEX™ SProcess.
