Programming for Carlson Data Collector files

[Ralph Riggs]

Back in the late '80's Dr. Hintz provided a routine for importing C&G
raw data files into CMM. There are also routines for Sokkia and TDS.
We use C&G but are wanting to migrate to Carlson but are needing a
routine to import Carlson raw data files into CMM. There are several
of us in southern Missouri that are looking for this solution. We are
willing to pay someone on a consulting basis to write this routine.
Thanks,
Ralph

If there is a way for the program to save in other formats, what are they?

But the first step in converting any data collection format is to
have at least one if not several files and some idea of what the data
in them represents. Sometimes the manufacturer has documentation. For
example there was at one time extensive documentation available for
the TDS formats. And fairly important is having the files be ascii.

For anyone like me to easily write a program ASCII is best. Decoding
a binary file is a bit more advanced, and usually requires someone
more proficient in C or C++, or at least about 5 times more patience.

I am glad to hear that there are CMM users out there. Perhaps being
in MO this is a legacy of Stan French and a training session me and
Corky Rodine did out there on behalf of the USFS what seems now like
a 'long time ago'.

Jerry:
Yes, I was one of the students when you and Corky explained the fine
points of CMM a few years ago at the USFS in Rolla, Mo. It is a great
tool, especially the RHCMM and we use it daily.

So come up with a few data files, and let's take a look. You can
email to me if you want.
