+.SH FOR USERS
+.SS Requirements
+.sp
+TotalOpenStation is written using the \fI\%Python\fP language. Thus you\(aqll
need to
+have a working installation of the current version of a Python of your choice.
+.sp
+Across these pages we will refer to the standard \fI\%Python\fP distribution.
+.sp
+Obviously, we\(aqre not going to reinvent the wheel, so we have chosen to use
+some Python libraries for some specific tasks:
+.INDENT 0.0
+.IP \(bu 2
+the \fI\%pySerial\fP library
+.IP \(bu 2
+the Python \fI\%Tkinter\fP GUI library, which comes with the standard
+Python setup
+.UNINDENT
+.sp
+pySerial is needed for downloading data from the serial port (even
+through a \fIserial\-USB adapter\fP).
+.sp
+Tkinter is at the moment responsible of the Graphical User
+Interface. This might change in future releases of Total Open
+Station.
+.SS Getting Python
+.sp
+If you\(aqre on GNU/Linux or a recent Mac OSX, Python should be already
+installed on your system, so you just need to get the mentioned
+libraries.
+.sp
+On Windows, you can get an installer from the main Python website, in
+the \fI\%download\fP section.
+.SS Getting libraries
+.sp
+Generally speaking, refer to the \fI\%pySerial website\fP\&.
+.SS GNU/Linux
+.sp
+Use your package manager (\fBapt\-get\fP, \fByum\fP) and look
+for a package named \fBpython\-serial\fP or \fBpyserial\fP and install
+it. To test whether the installation went fine, open a terminal, start
+the python interpreter with \fBpython\fP and at the prompt type \fBimport
+serial\fP then return. It should say nothing, like this:
+.sp
+.nf
+.ft C
+>>> import serial
+.ft P
+.fi
+.sp
+If it complains, something went wrong:
+.INDENT 0.0
+.INDENT 3.5
+.sp
+.nf
+.ft C
+>>> import serial
+Traceback (most recent call last):
+ File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
+ImportError: No module named serial
+.ft P
+.fi
+.UNINDENT
+.UNINDENT
+.sp
+and you need to check with your distribution package manager and bug
+reporting system.
+.SS Mac OSX
+.sp
+The simplest way is probably to install setuptools and use:
+.INDENT 0.0
+.INDENT 3.5
+.sp
+.nf
+.ft C
+easy_install \-U pyserial
+.ft P
+.fi
+.UNINDENT
+.UNINDENT
+.SS Microsoft Windows
+.sp
+The pySerial website has executable installers for various versions of
+this operating system. As pySerial\(aqs documentation says, you will need
+also the \fI\%pywin32\fP library by Mark Hammond.
+.SS Installing
+.sp
+There are a few different ways to install Total Open Station,
+depending on your operating system. If you are on GNU/Linux or Mac
+OSX, you should already have Python installed on your
+system. Instructions for Microsoft Windows are below.
+.SS Using \fBpip\fP
+.sp
+Until your operating system\(aqs packaging tools (e.g. \fBapt\fP or
+\fByum\fP) allow you to install Total Open Station along with other
+programs, the recommended way to install is using \fBpip\fP, like:
+.INDENT 0.0
+.INDENT 3.5
+.sp
+.nf
+.ft C
+pip install totalopenstation
+.ft P
+.fi
+.UNINDENT
+.UNINDENT
+.sp
+This will install all the other required Python packages as
+well. \fBpip\fP is complementary with \fI\%virtualenv\fP, and it is encouraged
+that you use virtualenv to isolate your installation:
+.INDENT 0.0
+.INDENT 3.5
+.sp
+.nf
+.ft C
+pip \-E tops install totalopenstation
+.ft P
+.fi
+.UNINDENT
+.UNINDENT
+.sp
+where \fB\-E tops\fP creates a virtual environment named \fBtops\fP and
+installs totalopenstation into it.
+.sp
+Read more about \fBpip\fP at \fI\%http://pip.openplans.org/\fP and
+\fI\%http://guide.python\-distribute.org/pip.html\fP .
+.SS Manual install with \fBsetup.py\fP
+.sp
+If you manually download the source distribution file from PyPI or
+from the mercurial repository, first make sure you have installed all
+the \fIrequired packages\fP\&. Then, just \fBcd\fP into
+the uncompressed directory and:
+.INDENT 0.0
+.INDENT 3.5
+.sp
+.nf
+.ft C
+python setup.py install
+.ft P
+.fi
+.UNINDENT
+.UNINDENT
+.sp
+Again, it\(aqs strongly recommended to avoid a system\-wide install. Use
+\fBvirtualenv\fP\&.
+.SS Windows
+.sp
+There is a binary installer available at \fI\%PyPI\fP\&. This requires you to
+install a \fI\%Python\fP distribution (latest available is 2.7.1 ‒ do not
+install Python 3 as we don\(aqt support it yet), and the \fI\%pyserial\fP and
+\fI\%setuptools\fP modules.
+.SS Getting sample data
+.sp
+Even when your device is not listed among the supported ones, Total
+Open Station can still be useful, particularly for:
+.INDENT 0.0
+.IP 1. 3
+finding the right \fBserial connection parameters\fP from an unknown
+device. You can play with the 8 options and see the results in a
+text area. Once the downloaded results look good, you can be almost
+sure that you have used the right parameters, and we can add the
+tested model parameters to the program database;
+.IP 2. 3
+retrieving \fBsample data\fP from unknown models and submit them to
+allow support of those models in future releases of the program.
+.UNINDENT
+.sp
+To do this, you can just use the main Total Open Station
+executable.
+.sp
+\fBWARNING:\fP
+.INDENT 0.0
+.INDENT 3.5
+Remember: Total Open Station is no wizard, and you have to tune the
+serial port options using your prior knowledge of your total
+station (e.g. read the manual that came with it, look at other
+programs\(aq options).
+.UNINDENT
+.UNINDENT
+.SS Glossary
+.INDENT 0.0
+.TP
+.B input format
+An input format is the way data downloaded from the total
+station are encoded. This might include a default order for X,
+Y and Z coordinates, particular ways of prefixing each point
+with some distinctive text string and other features. Each
+input format is unique, and it requires a dedicated
+module. Input formats are not readable by common CAD or GIS
+software packages, and it is TOPS\(aqs work to export them. These
+formats have a standard name, either given by the manufacturer
+or by the TOPS development team.
+.TP
+.B model
+When we refer to a \fImodel\fP we mean all total stations that
+have the same brand name and manufacturer (e.g. all those
+labeled “Trimble Geodimeter 600”).
+.TP
+.B output format
+A format readable by GIS, CAD or any sort of common software,
+like CSV or DXF.
+.TP
+.B serial\-USB adapter
+While most total stations have a serial interface (port and cable),
+modern PCs and laptops tend to have just USB ports. In such cases, it
+is possible to use a serial\-USB adapter cable, that enables you to
+connect the total station to one of your USB ports. Depending on your
+platform, the device might be identified as \fB/dev/ttyUSB0\fP or
+\fBCOM5\fP\&.

+.SS Input formats
+.sp
+New in version 0.2: Total Open Station supports a number of input data
formats, which
+are implemented separately from the device handling machinery
+(i.e. downloading data from your total station). This is because
+one device can output more than one format, and at the same time
+the same format can be used by more than one device (particularly
+this is the case for different models by the same manufacturer).
+
+.SS An overview about input data formats
+.sp
+Generally speaking, data formats can be classified into two large
+groups:
+.INDENT 0.0
+.IP 1. 3
+“raw” field data with polar coordinates
+.IP 2. 3
+processed data, with XY(Z) cartesian coordinates
+.UNINDENT
+.sp
+The latter are far more easy to process, because they don\(aqt require
+any computing of measurements.
+.SS XYZ formats
+.sp
+These formats were the first kind of survey data format supported by
+Total Open Station.
+.sp
+Cartesian coordinates just need to be extracted from ASCII data

+This was the first format supported by Total Open Station. For

+of other formats. The step by step procedure is useful for anyone who
+wants to hack on TOPS itself.
+.SS Step\-by\-step download procedure
+.sp
+At the time I was doing the first tests, I found it useful to collect
+all steps. The program goes through them automatically:
+.INDENT 0.0
+.INDENT 3.5

+ parity=serial.PARITY_NONE, rtscts=1)
+>>> ser.open()
+.ft P

+.UNINDENT
+.UNINDENT
+.sp
+At this point, you have to start the download from the device

+if you have actually received any data:
+.INDENT 0.0
+.INDENT 3.5
+.sp
+.nf
+.ft C

+.ft P

+A non\-zero result means that something has been downloaded. Good enough.

+This number can be saved to a variable and passed as parameter to the

+.SS Other formats
+.sp
+Unimplemented \fIformats\fP can be added to Total Open Station.
+.sp
+The best way to have your format included in the next version of
+TotalOpenStation is to file a support request in the bug tracker and attach
+some sample data dumps obtained with the Helper application.
+.sp
+If you can write Python code, you can also write a module by yourself using
+the existing ones as a guide. Should you write a module, we will be happy to
+receive it and include it in the TotalOpenStation source tree.

+.SS Adding a new input format
+.sp
+There are hundreds of survey data formats out there. One by one, we
+will get them added into Total Open Station. Here\(aqs a general process
+that defines some minimum requirements when implementing new formats.
+.SS Documentation
+.sp
+Always write documentation for the format. Add a new document in the
+\fBdocs/input_formats/\fP directory of the source tree with a bare
+description, including:
+.INDENT 0.0
+.IP \(bu 2
+raw (polar) or processed (cartesian) format
+.IP \(bu 2
+fixed\-position based or fluid \-\- this changes the way the parser
+should work
+.IP \(bu 2
+which devices or manufacturers use this format
+.IP \(bu 2
+name of contributors
+.UNINDENT
+.sp
+Shortcomings of Total Open Station that the format exposes shouldn\(aqt
+be hidden, but rather made explicit both in code and documentation.
+.SS Sample data
+.sp
+Never commit support for a new format without including the relevant
+sample data in the \fBsample_data\fP directory. Generally speaking,
+sample data files should follow these simple rules:
+.INDENT 0.0
+.IP \(bu 2
+quality is better than quantity, so prefer a smaller file with many
+different corner cases rather than a larger file with a bulk of
+ordinary data
+.IP \(bu 2
+multiple files are OK, if they serve the purpose of showing
+different issues with the format
+.IP \(bu 2
+files should be named with the same name of the Python module that
+implements the format, using a \fB\&.tops\fP extension, like
+\fBtopcon_gts.tops\fP for a format implemented in a module named
+\fBtopcon_gts.py\fP \-\- this will allow for simple automated tests
+.UNINDENT
+.SS Code
+.sp
+When you have fulfilled the two previous tasks, you can start writing
+code (or at least you should pretend doing that). New code is always
+better than old code, because you have learned better programming
+techniques, or because you are more confident with Total Open
+Station. Writing tests for your code isn\(aqt (yet) required, but it\(aqs
+highly encouraged. Don\(aqt break current practice.
+.sp
+All code implementing new formats should not break the existing
+API. Changing the API should be done at the scale of the entire
+library, to take into account the many different needs of each format
+and parser. The development of Total Open Station is not in a stable
+shape, so expect the API to change in future versions. However, please
+understand that a new format parser is not the right place to do that.
+.sp
+Experiments are welcome. Mercurial allows for easy branching: you are
+encouraged to clone our repository and go crazy with new features,
+formats.
+.SS Contributing
+.sp
+Total Open Station is free software, released under the GNU \fI\%General
+Public License v3\fP or (at your option) any later version.
+.sp
+Development is tracked with \fI\%Mercurial\fP, a fast decentralized version
+control system. Installing \fIMercurial\fP is not needed unless you want
+to participate in TOPS development, but please \fBdo it\fP\&. The main
+development repository is on \fI\%bitbucket\fP where it\(aqs easy to fork the
+source code for your own experiments.
+.sp
+The suggested way of contributing is by sending patches using the
+Mercurial \fIpatchbomb\fP extension to the \fI\%development mailing list\fP\&.
+.SS Coding standards
+.sp
+We try to follow as much as possible \fI\%PEP\-8\fP,
+.SS Roadmap
+.SS Present
+.sp
+Total Open Station is at version 0.2, which is an \fBalpha\fP release.
