Mainline


Parent Item
Line:

A list with 10 entries. The first one is always the Controller's mainline. The other 9 are the additional mainlines.
The actual mainline/additional mainline selection (POINT, LINE, ROUTE) is done in the Controller's Session Setup, Planning.

"Route" if current mainline is a ROUTE.

Description

When Parent Item Line is set to [Mainline], then this Line Description will be "Current Point", "Current Line", or "Current Route", dependent on the type of the current mainline. Otherwise it will be the user-defined description of the additional mainline, as entered by the user in the Controller Session Setup, Planning, Additional Mainlines.

Line Index

A number between 1 and 10, indicating the selected Line of the Parent item property.
So 1 means Parent Item is [Mainline], 2 means it is [2nd Mainline] and so on.

int
SOL Easting

Depends on the type of the selected mainline:

  • POINT
    Value will be easting co-ordinate of the Point
  • LINE
    Value will be the start-of-line easting co-ordinate of the Line
  • ROUTE
    Value will be the start-of-line easting co-ordinate of the very first section of the Route.
int
SOL Northing

Depends on the type of the selected mainline:

  • POINT
    Value will be northing co-ordinate of the Point
  • LINE
    Value will be the start-of-line northing co-ordinate of the Line
  • ROUTE
    Value will be the start-of-line northing co-ordinate of the very first section of the Route.
int

EOL Easting

Depends on the type of the selected mainline:

  • POINT
    Value will be easting co-ordinate of the Point. So it is the same as the SOL Easting
  • LINE
    Value will be the end-of-line easting co-ordinate of the Line
  • ROUTE
    Value will be the end-of-line easting co-ordinate for the very last section of the Route.
int

EOL Northing

Depends on the type of the selected mainline:

  • POINT
    Value will be northing co-ordinate of the Point. So it is the same as the SOL Northing
  • LINE
    Value will be the end-of-line northing co-ordinate of the Line
  • ROUTE
    Value will be the end-of-line northing co-ordinate for the very last section of the Route.
int

SOL Latitude

Depends on the type of the selected mainline:

  • POINT
    Value will be latitude co-ordinate of the Point
  • LINE
    Value will be the start-of-line latitude of the Line
  • ROUTE
    Value will be the start-of-line latitude for the very first section of the Route
int

Datum

  • Survey Datum  (Default)
  • WGS84

SOL Longitude

Depends on the type of the selected mainline:

  • POINT
    Value will be longitude co-ordinate of the Point
  • LINE
    Value will be the start-of-line longitude of the Line
  • ROUTE
    Value will be the start-of-line longitude for the very first section of the Route.
int

Datum

  • Survey Datum (Default)
  • WGS84
EOL Latitude

Depends on the type of the selected mainline:

  • POINT
    Value will be latitude co-ordinate of the Point. So it is the same as the SOL Latitude
  • LINE
    Value will be the end-of-line latitude of the Line
  • ROUTE
    Value will be the end-of-line latitude for the very last section of the Route.
intDatum
  • Survey Datum (Default)
  • WGS84
EOL Longitude

Depends on the type of the selected mainline:

  • POINT
    Value will be longitude co-ordinate of the Point. So it is the same as the SOL Longitude
  • LINE
    Value will be the end-of-line longitude of the Line
  • ROUTE
    Value will be the end-of-line longitude for the very last section of the Route.
intDatum
  • Survey Datum (Default)
  • WGS84
Length

Depends on the type of the selected mainline:

  • POINT
    Value will be empty
  • LINE
    Value will be the length of the entire Line
    Value will be empty when the line is curved i.c.w the reference set to True
  • ROUTE
    Value will be the length of the entire Route
    Value will be empty when at least one of the sections is curved i.c.w the reference set to True.
intReference
  • Grid (Default)
  • True
SOL Bearing

Depends on the type of the selected mainline:

  • POINT
    Value will empty
  • LINE
    Value will be the bearing between the SOL co-ordinate and the EOL co-ordinate of the Line.
    A possible radius value (i.e. curved line) is not taken into account.
  • ROUTE
    Value will be the bearing between the SOL co-ordinate and the EOL co-ordinate of the Route.
    Possible curved sections are not taken into account.
intReference
  • Grid (Default)
  • True
Radius

Depends on the type of the selected mainline:

  • POINT
    Value will be the Radius1 value (in survey units) that defines a possible circle around the point.
  • LINE
    The values that defines the curve for the line.
    A straight line has a radius of zero, a +tive radius means the line bends to starboard, and -tive means it bends to port.
  • ROUTE
    Value will be the radius value for the current section of the current Steered Node (as defined in the Controller).
    A straight section has a radius of zero, a +tive radius means the line bends to starboard, and -tive means it bends to port.
int

Attribute1


Attribute2

This will be the attribute1 value for a POINT or LINE or for the current section of a ROUTE.

Note that using the Survey Manager you may define two additional fields next to the co-ordinate values for a POINT, LINE or ROUTE section: Attribute1 and Attribute2.


It depends on your survey application whether a user needs this extra information, e.g. vertical seismic surveys, or particular dredging operations.

When the selected mainline is a:

  • POINT
    The value will always be visible
  • LINE
    The value will always be visible, even if the current steered node is before SOL or after EOL
  • ROUTE
    A value is always visible: it will be taken for the closest section (as determined for the current steered node) .

double
Current Section

The current (i.e. closest) section index for the selected mainline as calculated by the Controller for the Steered Node.

- When the selected mainline is a POINT it will be 0 (zero and always 1 when the selected mainline is a LINE.

- When the steered node position is before SOL for a ROUTE then the value will always be 1.

- When the steered node position is after EOL for a ROUTE then it will be the index of the last section: the same as the number of sections.
