Additionally, some hardware manufacturers have created their own conversion utilities for converting data into STAR*NET .DAT format, including:
- Leica StarNet Converter Tool (http://www.leica-geosystems.us/en/41958.htm?q=StarNet+Converter+tool)
- Trimble Access / Trimble Survey Controller Stylesheets (http://www.trimble.com/tsc_ts.asp?Nav=Collection-32914)
- Magellan has a StarNet exporter
- Javad has a StarNet exporter
- and others... check with your hardware manufacturer to enquire.
Of course, many desktop applications also have a command to export data in STAR*NET .DAT format, including:
- MicroSurvey CAD (MsTraverse | StarNet Interface)
- MicroSurvey inCAD (MsTraverse | StarNet Interface)
- MicroSurvey embeddedCAD (MsTraverse | StarNet Interface)
- PointCloud CAD (MsTraverse | StarNet Interface)
- Carlson Survey (CGTrav | Create Star*Net File)
- Trimble Geo Office
- and many, many others - check with your software manufacturer to enquire.
Please let us know if there are any others we can add to this list!
