1. INTROD CTION
1.1 Introduction
Thank you for your first look at inertecExpress by reading this manual.
The inertecExpress is a user friendly data collection and calculation program for the
INERTEC TS-200 Series Total Stations.
inertecExpress is developed based on PowerTopo, which is known as a versatile on-board
software. The optimum combination of inertecExpress and TS-200 hardware makes
inertecExpress an easy and useful fieldwork tool.
The icon based main menu offers you the following possibilities.
1. PRO: Program（RDM，REM，VPM）
2. I/O: Communication（Text read/write，USB，DATA Transfer）
3. PRE: Preference (Setup)
4. CALC: Calculations (COGO, 2D Surface, Road Design)
5. MEAS: Measurement
6. STAK: Stake out
7. FILE: File manager
8. DATA: Data
9. STATION: Free Station (Backward Intersection)

1.2 Befo e using the Line tecExp ess manual
• Memo ies in the inst ument
The TS-200 series incorporates not only the inertecExpress surveying programs as the
Special Function but also File Manager and Data Transfer Programs.
The internal memory of the instrument can store a maximum of 60,000 points of data.
• Relations between the Memo y and each Function

• IH stands for “Instrument Height” and PH stands for “Prism Height”.
• The inertecExpress manual mainly describes the TS-200 special functions, and the
basic operations are described in the (basic) TS-200 manual. Therefore, refer to the
TS-200 basic manual regarding the TS-200 general instrument operations.
The inertecExpress screens vary with the selections of the “Preference”.
The factory default settings of the Preference are shown there. It is also possible to select
“Process type” that takes over the functionality of “ inertecExpress” or “Structure type”
that takes over the functionality of our past product in ”Action Method Selection”.
• The TS-200 series instrument has a Job name of “ INERTEC” and “COGOPoint” as
its default setting. Each data is stored under “ INERTEC” unless another new Job name
is created. When another Job name is created, each data is stored in the new Job name.
• The input range of the X, Y and Z Coordinate is “-99999999.998” - “99999999.998”.
• The input range of the Instrument and Prism height is “-9999.999” - “9999.999”.
• The PC, PointCode ist, is added to the PN, Coordinates X, Y, Z and IH (PH or IH)
and you can input your desired attributes for the point. If you have PointCode ist in the
job named “PointCode ist”, you can easily select one of the PointCode from the list or
edit one of them after pressing [ENT]. Please note, that Point Code, which is saved in the
other job, can not be referred to as a list.
• There are two Coordinates types: Rectangular and Polar.
The RO, VO, DO, TO offset and the remote measurement are possible when you select
the
Rectangular Coordinates.
The RO, DO offset is possible when you select the Polar Coordinates.
• When you measure in EDM SETTINGS of COARSE TRACKING, the TS-200
displays a distance value to two decimal places. However, distance data of polar
coordinates are displayed by EDIT function to three decimal places, and sent, to four
decimal places. So, “0“ or “00” is added to the distance data after the third decimal point
in COARSE TRACKING mode.
For example
Displayed value: 123.45
Displayed by EDIT: 123.450
Sent polar data: 123.4500
• Rectangular coordinates are displayed, stored, and sent to three decimal places even if
in COARSE TRACKING or FINE MEASURE mode.
• You can change the distance measurement mode during measuring operation by
pressing the EDM key at the MEASURE and VPM functions.
• The same Point Name of the plural polar points can be saved.
