Description of the System
Software upload All instrument software is stored in the System RAM of the instrument. The software
can be uploaded onto the instrument using the following methods:
• Using LGO Tools the software is transferred via the serial interface to the
CompactFlash card in the instrument, which is then stored to the System RAM.
• By connecting the CompactFlash card directly to the computer either via an
internal card slot housing or an external OMNI drive, the software is transferred
to the card, which is then stored to the System RAM.
Application
programs
A suite of optional specific application programs are available for
the instrument.
Some of the programs are activated freely and require no license
key and others require purchasing and are only activated with a
license key.
Third party appli-
cation programs
There are various third party applications available for the
TM6100A, onboard or computer based software. Please contact
your Leica Geosystems representative for details.
Customised
application
programs
Customised software specific to user requirements can be devel-
oped using the GeoC++ development kit. Information on the
GeoC++ development environment is available on request from a
Leica Geosystems representative.

1.2.2 Data Storage and Data Conversion Concept
Description Data is stored within a job in a database on a memory device. This is either a
CompactFlash card or an internal memory.
Memory device CompactFlash card: A CompactFlash card housing is standard. A CompactFlash
card can be inserted and removed. Available capacity:
256 MB and 1 GB.
Whilst other CompactFlash cards may be used,
Leica recommends Leica CompactFlash cards
and cannot be held responsible for data loss or
any other error that may occur when using a
non-Leica card.
Internal memory: An internal memory is always fitted. It resides inside the
instrument. Available capacity: 256 MB.
Unplugging connecting cables or removing the CompactFlash card during the meas-
urement may cause loss of data. Always return to TM6100A Main Menu before
removing the CompactFlash card and switch off the instrument before removing
cables.

Description of the System
Data conversion Export
Data can be exported from a job in a wide range of ASCII formats. A standard set of
Export Formats is delivered with the system. Customized export format can defined
in Format Manager which is a PC tool in LEICA Geo Office Tools. Refer to the online
help of LGO Tools for information on creating format files.
Data can also be exported from a job in DXF or LandXML format.
Import
Data can be imported from ASCII, DXF, GSI8 or GSI16 format.
Transfer raw data
to LGO Tools
Raw data can be transferred between the database on the CompactFlash card or the
internal memory of the instrument and LGO Tools in two ways:
• From the CompactFlash card or the internal memory directly via a serial interface
to a project in LGO Tools on a PC.
• From the CompactFlash card using for example an OMNI drive as supplied by Leica
Geosystems to a project in LGO Tools on a PC.
CompactFlash cards can be used directly in an OMNI drive as supported by Leica
Geosystems. Other PC card drives may require an adapter.

1.2.3 Power Concept
General Use the Leica Geosystems batteries, chargers and accessories or accessories recom-
mended by Leica Geosystems to ensure the correct functionality of the instrument.
Power options Instrument
Power for the instrument can be supplied either internally or externally. An external
battery is connected to the instrument using a LEMO cable.
Internal battery: One GEB241 battery fitted into the battery compartment.
External battery: One GEB171 battery connected via cable
