A distinction is made between:
• Input data, generally fixed-point coordinates
• Output data, generally measurements, coordinates,
or derived values relating to "new points".
It is advisable to store the input and output data in two
separate files, although it is possible to store them
together in a single file.
A maximum of 24 files can be managed. Twelve of
them already have permanent names (FILE01.GSI to
FILE12.GSI) and are used primarily to store
measurement data (measurement files). The remaining
twelve files can be given any name, but this must
always terminate with GSI (e.g. PROJ2563.GSI). It is
useful to store the fixed-point coordinates in these files
(data files).
In the directory \LOG, additional data from most of
the loadable applications can be stored in a protocol
file.
Instead of using the MC, the data can be output in GSI
format at the serial data interface.
When data storage is performed across the serial
interface, no data from the applications is output into
the protocol file. Fixed-point coordinates can be read
only from the MC.
Normal operation involves an observer who keys-in
information and who moves the telescope and points
the instrument manually. The results of the
measurement are displayed and stored.
The instrument can also be operated partially by
sending user-defined commands across the serial
interface (reduced RS232 interface). If the instrument
has automatic target recognition, it can be operated
fully in this manner.
