This chapter describes the data
structure and organization of the Lei-
ca Geosystems GSI (Geo Serial In-
terface). The GSI data structure is
used for all data transferred between
the Leica Geosystems electronic
survey instruments, and also defines
the data stored internally. The
following information describes the
data structure of the TPS1100
instruments and contains some
specific features only applicable to
these instruments.
Data transferred between a Leica
Geosystems instrument and a
computer will conform to the GSI
data structure (also called GSI data
format).
Format with 8 or 16 characters
There is a choice between storing 8
characters (places) or 16.
From Version 2.20 onwards, there is
a choice of two GSI formats, with
word lengths of 8 and 16 characters
respectively. When 16 characters are
stored and supported the following
special conditions apply:
• A measurement block is tagged
with * at the first position.
• A data word includes the data at
positions 7 to 23 instead of at
7 to 15.
