The Road - Data Entry
program
The Leica "ROADDATA.EXE" for providing
setting-out data files
Once the alignment has been designed using road-
design software, the resulting data consist of main
points, element parameters and cross sections. These
data must be brought into a structure which can be
loaded into the memory card. There are two ways to
product the three setting-out data files (Hz-alignment
file, V-alignment file and transverse-profile file):
a) writing an individually-customised program to
automatically generate and convert the necessary
data
b) entering the data by hand into the Leica
"ROADDATA.EXE" program. The program offers a
convenient way of entering the values by offering
suitable menu controls. The program reformats the
data into the structure required.
Once the three setting-out data files are ready, all you
need to do is to transfer the data into the memory card,
using a suitable transfer program.
Using the "ROADDATA.EXE" program
• Copy the program from the diskette to your hard
disk, using the DOS command
COPY
and from there into e.g. disk drive C:\.
• Start the program with the command
C:\>roaddata
• Follow the menu directives. An integrated Help
function gives you support, particularly when you are
using the keyboard commands.
