Explanation of formats of files:
STA ST001, 1.2050, AD
XYZ 100.0000, 100.0000, 10.0000
SS BS001, 1.8000, BA
NEZ 200.0000, 200.0000, 10.0000
SC A1, 1.8000, CODE1
NEZ 104.6625, 99.5679, 10.2148
SD A2, 1.8000, CODE1
HVD 1276939, 288678, 4.7510
SA A3, 1.8000, CODE1

Every record consists of two lines:
1
st
line records the record type, point name, target height,
code
e.g. STA = station point
SS = BBS (back-sight point)
SC = coordinate data
SD = distance measured
SA = angle measured
2
nd
line records the data type and the data record
e.g. NEZ = the following figures are coordinates
ENZ = the following figures are coordinates
HVD = the following figures are horizontal angle, vertical
angle and slope correspondingly
HV = the following figures are horizontal angle and
vertical angle correspondingly
