Station Data Lister
The User-Defined Station Data Lister dialog box is used to design and create text records containing various adjusted station data from a GeoLab adjustment.
This utility allows you to easily generate station data lists that can be imported into your databases. The output text records are written into a new text tab.
This dialog contains the following controls:
Source (GeoLab Adjustment) Group Box: This group box contains controls that allow you to specify the GeoLab adjustment file to use as a source for adjusted station data. The Set Source File button presents you with a dialog from which you can select an adjustment. The File edit box is read-only and simply displays the file name you select.
Output Options Group Box: This group box contains the Write Field Names Header check box, which allows you to toggle the writing of a field names header record on and off. If written, the field names header record is the first record written to the output text file.
This group box also contains the Edit Decimal Places button, which displays the Edit Decimal Places dialog, allowing you to change the numbers of decimal places used to list the various field data items.
Current Fields List Box: This list box displays all fields currently defined for the output text records. The fields are shown in the order that the corresponding adjusted data will be written to output text records.
Insert Field Button: This button inserts a new field into the Current Fields list box. The new field's name, type, and format are specified by the current settings in the New Field Definition group box. The new field is inserted after the currently selected field in the Current Fields list box.
Replace Field Button: This button replaces the currently selected field in the Current Fields list box. The new field's name, type, and format are specified by the current settings in the New Field Definition group box.
Delete Field Button: This button deletes the currently selected field in the Current Fields list box.
Move Field Up Button: This button moves the currently selected field in the Current Fields list box up one space.
Move Field Down Button: This button moves the currently selected field in the Current Fields list box down one space.
Template File Group Box: This group box contains controls that you can use to save your field definitions in a template file. The New… button creates a new empty field definition with no associated file. The Open button allows you to select an existing template file which is loaded into this dialog. The Save button saves changes to the current template (if it is untitled, you will be prompted to enter a file name). The Save As button allows you to save the current template with another file name.
New Field Definition Group Box: This group box contains controls that allow you to select the name, type, and format for a new field. The Name edit box allows you to enter or modify the name for the field. Note that, once you have selected the desired field type from the Type drop down list box, you can double-click on the Name edit box to set the field name to the name of the field type. The Type drop down list box contains a list of all field types as follows: Station Name - The station's unique name; Northing - The station's northing (map projection coordinate); Easting - The station's easting (map projection coordinate); Scale Factor - The station's point scale factor (map projection); Meridian Convergence - The station's meridian convergence (map projection); Projection Name - The name of the map projection used for the above map projection-related information; Latitude - The station's ellipsoidal latitude; Longitude - The station's ellipsoidal longitude; Orthometric Height - The station's orthometric height (elevation); Ellipsoidal Height - The station's ellipsoidal height; Geoid Undulation - The station's geoidal height; X-Coordinate - The station's geocentric X-coordinate; Y-Coordinate - The station's geocentric Y-coordinate; Z-Coordinate - The station's geocentric Z-coordinate; N/S Deflection - The station's north/south deflection of the vertical; E/W Deflection - The station's east/west deflection of the vertical; Astro Latitude - The station's astronomic latitude; Astro Longitude - The station's astronomic longitude.
Format Group Box: This group box contains six radio buttons used to indicate and select the data format to be used when inserting a field into a text record. For angular data, you can choose from Radians, Degrees, DMS, Degrees and Decimal Minutes, and Seconds. For other field types, the format will be selected automatically.
Field Delimiter Group Box: This group box allows you to select one of four field delimiter characters (field separator character) to be used when forming the text records.
Make Listing Button: This button generates the text records according to the settings in the dialog. The text records are written into a new text tab.
