Import coordinates (manually)

The Import coordinates page is available for GeoMoS Now! Survey Edition users after a successful log in as an Administrator or an Editor. It can be accessed either by clicking on the Import coordinate button right after the log in, or from the left hand menu at any time.

 

Only the GeoMoS Now! On-premises users can use in parallel classic and Survey Edition. This is because their monitoring data, be it from GeoMoS Monitor or from direct file import, will be written to the same database. This is why they do not need a special subscription license if they want to add Survey Edition to their classic GeoMoS Now! service.

 

Import coordinate page allows the user to import the measurement coordinates from total station or digital level directly from the file system. Additionally, the measurement data can also be sent directly from field from total station that support TPS monitoring application. Those data files will be then shown in the table on Import coordinates page.

 

Data

The data that is to be imported in GeoMoS Now! has to be in ascii or .csv data format with the following structure:

 

 

All imported files will be listed in the table on the Import coordinates page. The files that have been sent directly from TPS monitoring app on board the Captivate and SmartWorx total stations will be also listed here with the following name: <date>_<time>_<jobname>.txt. User can click on the file to download it and store it in the file system.

 

To upload new measurement file click on the Upload new file link on the top of the table.

 

The Administrator will see all uploaded files, even if the Editor has uploaded them. The Editor will see only the files he has uploaded.

 

The data listed in the Import coordinates table are not yet added to the project view. To do so, select the file by clicking on the check box, select the units for the measurements in the file and click on the Next button.

 

Once the file has been added to GeoMoS Now! project, it will be deleted from the list.

 

 

Data management

Before the data have been added to the GeoMoS database, they can be verified by the user. All measurements in the file that has been selected for import will be listed in the table.

 

The files can contain multiple measurements for the same point. The first available epoch for the point will be selected as the null measurement. This measurement will be marked with icon . To select the other measurement as a null measurement, click on the empty icon at the beginning of the row.

 

The null measurement will serve to calculate the displacement for all other measurements. This displacement will be checked and if the blunder check does not pass, the measurements will be marked in red and the line will get the outlier icon. The settings for the blunder check can be changed in the Settings menu on the top of the page.

 

Each measurement can be manually manipulated using the edit icon, or deleted using the delete icon.

 

On the top of the table click on the Show all data button to show also the data that has already been imported to database. Those data will not have the file icon.

 

Confirm the import with Finish button. All existing content in the project view (graphs, reports, etc.) will be updated with the new measurements. If this is a new project view, several pre-configured graphs will be created on the Dashboard. These graphs can be modified or deleted and additional content can be added to the project view.
