[Therion] DistoX and PocketTopo with Therion
Hi there I have a Disto arriving hopefully in a few days, and looking ahead I've been tentatively trialling PocketTopo on my PC. I suspect therein lies my first problem. Perhaps it only has limited functionality on PC's? I can manually enter data, but I can not seem to draw passage outline. The Export Therion format does not seem to produce data in a format similar to what Therion normally accepts - after the data it produces some form of co-ords separated into plan and elevation partitions. Most of the survey stations are converted to 10 digit numbers and all of the keywords are in capitals. Much of the file content could be made Therion compatible relatively easily using a text editor, but surely this is not what is intended? Obviously there is something significant here that I am missing. Have searched about but have not found the solution yet. Does anyone have a small dataset that demonstrates the interaction between PocketTopo and Therion? Bruce -- next part -- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

(the programs runs also on windows). export as therion, of course. anyone interested to alpha test ? (cannot guarantee, but is should not damage your distox) marco.

My answer from ukcaving forum: Note: for DistoX use primary Lithium AAA cells from Energizer. They have the highest capacity from all AAA cells, they work from -40 to +60 Celsius without significant loss of capacity, they will not discharge 15 years (!). They are not cheap :( My workflow: 1. From station 1.0 (you must follow the Toporobot logic of station numbering, series, etc. - http://www.geo.unizh.ch/~heller/ toporobot/ ) you start measure the splay shots - it means you measure the important points and objects around the station 1.0. 2. You measure the surveying leg from station 1.0 to station 1.1 three times. 3. On your PocketPC in EasyTopo program you check the shots and draw the map, extended elevation and profile (optionaly) based on real measurements - splay shots and leg in map and elevation editor. 4. Go to station 1.1 and repeat. You should receive in scale drawn map and elevation of surveyed part of cave at the end of your surveying trip. At base camp, or at home you export data from EasyTopo and import both data and sketches into Therion. You redraw the map, elevation and profiles in Therion to receive the final map. Or you may export from Therion only the sketches to PDF and print them too. Calibration is question of 15-20 minutes. Martin -- next part -- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

This is a special intermediate format which can be easily imported into xtherion: * added import functions for PocketTopo export - centerline in text editor - File->Import->PocketTopo therion export - sketches in map editor - Backgroud Images->Insert->PocketTopo therion export There are some issues, but most of the features are supported.

The very latest version 1.21 should have an option "Export >> Therion". Is this export file format not suitable for Therion?
