User Friendly Program
This is the most important thing in order to make the program achieving the objective. Here is one example:
It will then output Bearing and distance answer simultaneously without need to prees EXE twice.
This will really help save time at site. In CASIO BASIC today function such as LOCATE, GETKEY will make the program more user friendly interface.
Land Surveyor in Malaysia
Malaysia has a regulation that need title survey to be approve by either a Director of Survey or Licensed Land Surveyor. Whilst other survey not required the approval but sometime may need approval by related body such engineer. This scenario make split the Land Surveyor in Malaysia into ‘LS works’ or ‘construction works’. Some of them have the ability only in either one but a lot of surveyor also able to do both.
Title Survey is just become complicated in tooooo much procedure introduced may b by the regulation itself than expand from day to dayby the need from the civilian to make sure everything is clear and will be no argument for the boundary after Certified Plan has been issued. The procedure is that something make it look boring for me and that why I choose construction.
Both title and construction world occupy by ‘Free Lans’, License Land Surveyor, Consultant, the construction company itself and also by the government (Title-Jupem, JKR-also have their own surveyor technician).
How casio influencing the surveyor…? Is there is no other programmable calculator to be used..? Is the Calculator is really the need in todays surveyor..? I think a calculator in todays surveyor is just for + – only. Built-in program in total station and data logger in windows mobile plattform…..yes they are replacing the job of programmable calculator.
Casio is a machine
Casio is a machine may b used by million of people in the world. Land Surveyor is a part of them used this machine for office and site used. FX603P model is known by most of the surveyor in the world.
Unfortunately this model which was introduced in 1994 now is not in production anymore. People sometime sell the 2nd hand unit up to RM1000. I am not sure for what people want to buy it for that price. If they are going to buy for a collection, then its good because they can show to future people about how nice this machine. But actually most of the people outside there, I mean the land surveyor, they ar buying this model because they cannot change. For them only that calculator give them the shortest way to do work. People takes time to change….but for them who still wan to stay….until when they can stay??
People now start to move to windows mobile…but sometimes this colourful touchscreen might be a pain for them who working under the sun radiation, but for me its not bad. The HP48GX which has RAM card for survey that can be use as data collector now also difficult to get in our country. Here I am inviting people to develop something on this new ultimate machine FX9860G….It may be possible if someone who really want to make this as data logger as a lowcost model.
I think I develop well in casio basic..but still can make improvement to provide 3D calculation…here I was upload a PDF file for my program collection.
Useful formula For Surveyor _ Bearing Distance
(latit/(abs(latit)) * arc cos(dipat/(sqrt(latit^2+dipat^2)))
this will return ….
same as polar function in casio calculator or atan2 function in excel sheet
Bearing – Bearing Intersection
y = mx+ c
m = gradient
c = y axes intersection.
