AUX: Auxiliary Parameters

This record declares (creates the existence of) an auxiliary parameter group. Each group of auxiliary parameters can contain from 1 to 7 parameters of the following types: 
  • CONS: Additive constant for distance
  • SCAL: Scale change (3D)
  • SCA2: Scale change in the horizontal plane (2D)
  • ORAZ: Rotation around the local vertical (azimuth rotation)
  • ROTX: Rotation around the CT X-axis
  • ROTY: Rotation around the CT Y-axis
  • ROTZ: Rotation around the CT Z-axis
  • TRAX: Translation along the CT X-axis
  • TRAY: Translation along the CT Y-axis
  • TRAZ: Translation along the CT Z-axis
  • TRAE: Translation in the east/west direction
  • TRAN: Translation in the north/south direction
 
Only specific parameter types may be assigned to each observation type as follows (parameter types not shown for a measurement type are not used by that measurement type):
  • AZIM: ORAZ, ROTX, ROTY, ROTZ
  • GAZI: ORAZ, ROTX, ROTY, ROTZ
  • DIST: CONS, SCAL
  • EDIS: CONS, SCAL
  • 2DC:  CONS, SCAL, SCA2, ORAZ, ROTX, ROTY, ROTZ, TRAX, TRAY, TRAZ, TRAE, TRAN
  • 2DD: CONS, SCAL, SCA2, ORAZ, ROTX, ROTY, ROTZ, TRAX, TRAY, TRAZ, TRAE, TRAN
  • 3DC: CONS, SCAL, SCA2, ORAZ, ROTX, ROTY, ROTZ, TRAX, TRAY, TRAZ, TRAE, TRAN
  • 3DD: CONS, SCAL, SCA2, ORAZ, ROTX, ROTY, ROTZ, TRAX, TRAY, TRAZ, TRAE, TRAN

Note that the first blank parameter type field ends the list of parameter types for the group.
This record has two possible formats, a long parameter name format, and a short parameter name format. If column 10 contains an asterisk (*) the long name format is expected, otherwise the short name format is expected. 

The short parameter name format of this record is as follows (from column - to column: description):  
  • 002-005: AUX
  • 007-009: Observation type (AZI, GAZ, DIS, EDI, 3DC, 3DD, 2DC, or 2DD)
  • 010: (blank)
  • 011-022: Unique name of the auxiliary parameter group
  • 024-027: Type for 1st auxiliary parameter in group
  • 029-032: Type for 2nd auxiliary parameter in group (if any)
  • 034-037: Type for 3rd auxiliary parameter in group (if any)
  • 039-042: Type for 4th auxiliary parameter in group (if any)
  • 044-047: Type for 5th auxiliary parameter in group (if any)
  • 049-052: Type for 6th auxiliary parameter in group (if any)
  • 054-057: Type for 7th auxiliary parameter in group (if any)

The long parameter name format of this record is as follows (from column - to column: description):  
  • 002-005: AUX
  • 007-009: Observation type (AZI, GAZ, DIS, EDI, 3DC, 3DD, 2DC, or 2DD)
  • 010: * (asterisk)
  • 011-041: Unique name of the auxiliary parameter group
  • 043-046: Type for 1st auxiliary parameter in group
  • 048-051: Type for 2nd auxiliary parameter in group (if any)
  • 053-056: Type for 3rd auxiliary parameter in group (if any)
  • 058-061: Type for 4th auxiliary parameter in group (if any)
  • 063-066: Type for 5th auxiliary parameter in group (if any)
  • 068-071: Type for 6th auxiliary parameter in group (if any)
  • 073-076: Type for 7th auxiliary parameter in group (if any)
