[. . . ] M5, R4, R5, Rec500 record format Four data formats which have grown historically are subject to on-site revision service for compatibility with customer instruments. Currently, M5 is the format to provide most comprehensiveness in definitions. This chapter describes the structure of data format and the type identifier of measured and calculated values.

Technical All instruments have a serial interface which ensures the data exchange.
Attention!Instead of the usual marks within the 27 digit point identification, the M5 data format of Elta * R is limited to a 12 digit point number and a 5 digit code.

Description of M5 data format , , M5" -> 5 Measuring data blocks per data line: 1 Address block 1 Information block 3 numerical data blocks The Zeiss M5 data format is the common standard for all current Carl Zeiss surveying systems. The 3 numerical data blocks have a standard layout comprising 14 digits. In addition to the decimal point and sign, they accept numeric values with the specified number of decimal places. It is used for point identification (PI) and text information (TI e. g. ). The M5 data line The data line of the M5 format consists of 121 characters (bytes). The multiplication of this figure by the number of addresses (lines) stored shows the size of the project file in bytes. Blanks are significant characters in the M5 file and must not be deleted. The example describes an M5 data line at address 176 with coordinates (YXZ) recorded in unit m. The end of the line has CR, LF (columns 120 and 121, shown here as <= ).

The point identification PI in M5 Format The PI is comprised of 27 characters. It starts in column 22 and terminates in column 48 in the M5 data line. A maximum of 10 markings, marked in the preceding type identifier with PI1 to PI0 (columns 18, 19, 20), can be designated to the PI (depending on the instrument).

The type identifier in the M5 Format In the course of the time, requirements on the data format have increased. Therefore, the M5 Format carries most of the type identifiers of all available formats, always based on the preceding format (Rec500). In the M5 Format there are 5 Type identifiers (TK) defined: TK1: TK2: TK3: TK4: TK5: Adr T2 T3 T4 T5 Identifier address (Value1) Identifier information (Value2) Identifier 3. Value field (Value5)
Example: , , PI" for point identification or , , TI" for text information can be used for T2. For T3, T4, T5, , , D", , , Hz", , , V" or , , Y", , , X", , , Z" can be used.

Description of Rec 500 data format , , Rec500" stands for the description of the electronic field book Rec500. [. . . ] The prism constant for Carl Zeiss reflectors determined that way is -35 mm 35 mm. Relation between the addition constant Acz for Zeiss instruments, the prism constant Pcz for Zeiss reflectors and the prism constant Pf for other manufacturers: Acz = P - P F CZ Example: Zeiss reflector Pcz Foreign reflector P
F
prism constant = -35 mm prism constant = -30 mm
Addition constant for Zeiss instruments in connection with this foreign reflector Acz = + 5 mm
In this case, in the Elta® R the addition constant + 0. 005 m is set.
