3.9. Local Transformation
 
To calculate a local transformation choose the Input > Coordinates submenu and enter the coordinates and point numbers of the control points.
 
When measuring the control points in the Input > Measurements submenu, make sure to use the same point numbers as entered before. Once you have measured your identical points, it is possible to calculate a transformation. Choose the Calculate > Polar/GPS-Transformation submenu.
 
First choose the kind of transformations with the Transf > Change button. To perform a standard local adjustment use a 3-Parameter-Transformation without residual estimation.
 
The <Ctrl Pnt> button shows the residuals in meters for the control points. To define a control point choose the button <Edit> and click on the button CP.
 
Use the button <Calculate> to start the transformation for all points orientated on the chosen station. The differences to the known coordinates are shown. 

 
The calculated transformation affects the user coordinates of the current selected station. It is saved with respect to the station and is applied for all coordinates calculated out of measurements made on this station.
GART-2000® CE uses the global 7-parameter transformation together with the projection chosen in Initial > Constants > GPS and the local transformation chosen here.
 
For a new station the old transformation cannot be applied. Optionally, a new transformation can be defined.
