Importing Survey Points

There are two methods for adding survey points:

Like other background objects, in the Add background objects tab, you can drag Survey point reference objects onto the map
You can use the ubisense_ls_survey_admin command-line tool to import named survey points and their positions

Downloading the ubisense_ls_survey_admin tool

To get the ubisense_ls_survey_admin tool, run Application Manager, open the DOWNLOADABLES task, and expand Location system /Administration tools. Select ubisense_ls_survey_admin and click Download selected items. Optionally, change the download destination directory. Click Start download.

Using the ubisense_ls_survey_admin tool

The tool can import named survey points individually from the command-line or from a file of survey points. In either case, each point must be specified on its own line in the format "NAME","X","Y","Z".

For example, take a file survey-locations.csv with the following survey points:

"SP1","1","12","0.5"
"SP2","10","12","0.5"
"SP3","15","12","0.5"
"SP4","21","11","0.5"

Running the tool in import mode sets the specified positions.

C:\>ubisense_ls_survey_admin import < C:\Ubisense\survey-locations.csv
creating SP1 at [1,12,0.5]
creating SP2 at [10,12,0.5]
creating SP3 at [15,12,0.5]
creating SP4 at [21,11,0.5]
set 4 survey point positions

You can see the positioned survey points by opening the Add background objects tab in LSC:

If you want to replace all current survey points with new ones, run the tool with the replace-all option:

ubisense_ls_survey_admin import < new-locations.csv --replace-all

You can also collect the positions of survey points currently in DIMENSION4 by running the tool in export mode.
