TPS1200 GSI to GeoCOM Conversion Table
This document is meant as an introduction for users who used the GSI-online protocol in the past,
which is not supported by TPS1200 instruments anymore. For details about GeoCOM and detailed
descriptions of GeoCOM commands please refer to the latest version of the TPS1200 GeoCOM man-
ual.
GeoCOM offers a high level of flexibility in designing software to communicate with the instrument,
thus allowing any number of customized applications (off-board) and hardware configurations.
GeoCOM supports three kinds of usage: an ASCII protocol and two high level functions: C++ and VBA.
The following explanations only concern the ASCII protocol.
Basics
A GeoCOM command always starts with “%R1Q,” followed by the identification number of the com-
mand (example: 17017 for “measure distance & angle”). After a colon the parameters follow (for the
command 17017 - the “distance mode” – e.g.: 2 for default measurement program). Note that most
parameters are defined in the beginning of the according chapter in the GeoCOM manual.
At the end CR/LF has to be sent as a terminator string. For every command an ASCII reply is sent by
the instrument starting with “R1P,” followed by Return Codes and Parameters that depend on the
ASCII request sent.
Communication Parameters
In order to make the communication work correctly the communication parameters of the computer (or
data logger) and the instrument must be aligned and the GeoCOM mode on the instrument must be
enabled.
On the TPS1200 activate GeoCOM mode by enabling the “GeoCOM mode” port in the CONFIGURE-
Interfaces panel. In order to view or change the communication settings you must edit the device.
Default Settings (device: “RS232 GeoCOM”) are:
BaudRate: 19200
Parity: None
Data Bits: 8
Stop Bit: 1
Units
In general units for distances are in Meter and angular values are always in Radians. Unit settings
configured at the instrument do not have any influence on the GeoCOM protocol. The units of all pa-
rameters used by a certain command are specified in the description of the commands in the Geo-
COM manual
Protected Commands
Certain GeoCOM commands are protected by a license key. If no license key for the “GeoCOM Ro-
botics Option” is loaded onto the instruments all GeoCOM commands starting with “AUT_” cannot be
used.
