14 Exchanging data with a PC

14.1 Introduction

Data exchange between the total station and a PC is always via the PC application Hilti PROFIS Layout.
The data is exchanged in binary format and cannot be read without these applications.
Data can be exchanged using either the USB data cable supplied or a USB memory device (e.g. flash drive).

14.2 HILTI PROFIS Layout

Data is always exchanged as a complete project, i.e. all data belonging to a project is exchanged between the Hilti
total station and Hilti PROFIS Layout.
A project may contain only control points or fixed points, with or without graphics, or a combination, i.e. control points
or fixed points and measured points (measurement data) including results from the corresponding applications.

14.2.1 Data types

Point data (control points or layout points)
Control points are, at the same time, also layout points, to which graphical elements can be attached in order to
facilitate identification or to describe the situation.
If these points with graphical elements are transferred from a PC to the total station, then this data will be displayed
with graphics on the total station.
If control or layout points are entered manually on the total station at a later point in time, no graphical elements can
be assigned or added to these on the total station.
Measurement data
Measured points or, respectively, application results can always only be transferred from the total station to Hilti
PROFIS Layout.
The measured points transferred can take the form of point data in space-separated or comma-separated value (CSV)
text format or in other formats such as DXF and AutoCAD DWG for further use on other systems.
The output of application results such as layout differences, area calculations, etc. from Hilti PROFIS Layout can take
the form of reports in text format.
Summary
The following data can be exchanged between the total station and Hilti PROFIS Layout.
From the total station to Hilti Profis Layout:
Measurement data: Point name, angle and distance
Point data: Point name, coordinates and height.
From Hilti Profis Layout to the total station:
Point data: Point name, coordinates and height.
Graphics data: Coordinates with graphical elements.
