The Leica Point Code Options panel displays.

If you select the GSI 8 format option, then only 8 characters are allowed for each coordinate (stored without a decimal point, and 3 implied decimal places). AMG eastings have 9 significant figures and northings have 10 (if measuring to 3 decimal places). These are truncated to fit in 8 characters.

For example: A coordinate of 546123.456E will be written as 46123456 and 3746812.345N as 46812345.

For AMG coordinates (if your instrument supports the GSI 16 format) you should select the GSI 16 format option, as the 8 characters in GSI 8 format are not enough to store an AMG coordinate to the millimetre.

If you select the GSI 16 format option, then any data that is shorter than 16 characters will get leading zero-filled. For example 565300.123 would become 0000000565300123.

Select OK.

The Upload Creation File Information panel is then displayed. This panel informs you of the instrument; the port and directory; the name of the resulting upload file and the number of points that have been created.

Note:   If your coordinates vary in their most significant figures, and you need to use the GSI 8 format, then it may be worthwhile using the Coordinate offsetting option (available through the Set Up option).
