Transfer Data from surveying

Does anybody knows a way to transfer data from a Cygnus TS102 total station to Archicad in a Mac?

Thank you, in advance

The Cygnus TS102 has a Windows interface program for viewing the data. I don't think you can convert the .sod files to anything except a text file you can only read with the Windows interface software that is provided.

What file format to you have the data from the survey in?

Steve, I have no idea, because I only work with macs.
I just bought the station, and I am trying to find a solution to plug the usb cable on my macs and get the files.
I would prefer not to work with windows, maybe some little app tha works with macs with the same interface. I had no luck on google, because I don't even know what to look for.
In the manual they say 1- format GTS
2- format SSS

Does that tell you something?

Thanks for your attention.

Don't take my word for it but perhaps you will have to buy a PC with Windows to get any use out of it. ?

Did it come with a CD to install the Cygnus Editor? Do a Google search for Cygnus Editor Operating Manual.

Yes, I have all the cds, manuals and stuff.
I was just trying to find a way of not using PCs. 🙂
I guess, no luck with that.
I will stick with readings in the visor. I used to work with a Wild T1 in the old days.
No big deal.
Thank you .
