Convert to GSI¶

Sometimes it is necessary to use the target coordinates for further measurements. To simplify the process, the targets definition file can be converted into a Leica GSI8 or GSI16 file, which is a common exchange format for Leica instruments.

Requirements¶

Target definition JSON file

Examples¶

Exporting coordinates¶

iman convert targets-gsi targets.json targets.gsi

Exporting coordinates to GSI16 with 0.00001m precision¶

iman convert targets-gsi --gsi16 --precision cmm targets.json targets.gsi

Usage¶

iman convert targets-gsi¶

Convert target definition to GSI coordinate format.

The program writes the point names and coordinates into a GSI measurement file. If the coordinates are known to be large, the format can be set to GSI16.

The output only supports meter unit, but the precision can be set as appropriate.

iman convert targets-gsi [OPTIONS] INPUT OUTPUT

Options

-l, --gsi16¶: Export to GSI16 format (instead of GSI8)

-p, --length-unit <length_unit>¶

Length unit and precision (millimeter, millifeet, decimillimeter, decimillifeet, centimillimeter)

Options:¶: mm | mft | dmm | dmft | cmm

Arguments

INPUT¶

Required argument

Source file to convert

OUTPUT¶
