The instrument use a file system to manage the data, all data obtained from measuring can save to current measurement file. The extension name of measurement file is *.MEA. All coordinates used by measurement can be picked up from current coordinate file, the extension name of current coordinate file is *.COO. Sometimes you need to note an attribute of a point when you measure, the code file maybe a good helper, the extension name of code file is *.COD. The extension of LINE-TYPE file for roadway is *.LSH and *.LSV, *.LSV is vertical defining file for roadway, it always is loaded after the *.LSH.

You can implement the following applications under File Manager

$1   1)      File Man: modify file name/search for data in the file/delete files/create new files/edit files.

$1   2)      Data Transfer: sending measurement data/coordinates data or code‐base data/receiving coordinates data or code‐base data, or horizontal/vertical alignment, setting communication parameters.

$1   3)      File Import: transferring the files stored in SD card to local disks or another SD card.

$1   4)      File Output: transferring the files stored in local disks or SD card to another SD card.

$1   5)      Disk format: Erase all data storage in memory.

$1   6)      Disk information: Displays the available memory.
