Title: Amberg Applications - Rail & Tunnel | Amberg Technologies URL: https://ambergtechnologies.com/solutions-services/amberg-tunnel/amberg-applications Description: Amberg Applications - Rail&Tunnel - Amberg Technologies: Amberg Applications simplifies surveying tasks in tunnel construction. Discover advantages&save time! --- # Amberg Applications To minimize costs in tunnel construction, it is necessary to build as close as possible to the design. To avoid interruptions of the heading, daily work steps should be made as efficient as possible. **Amberg Applications makes surveying tasks in tunnel construction faster and simpler. At the same time, the user gets the flexibility to react to changing requirements.** Amberg Applications is the powerful on-board application for Leica Viva and Captivate total stations. A seamless workflow is guaranteed by using the Amberg Profile module. This ensures trouble-free data transfer of project data and measurements from the tunnel to the office. **Interested in Amberg Tunnel solution?** Philippe Matter is happy to talk to you.

Fast and easy setup of total station! - Automatic setup of a total station without knowing the point ID number - Choose between manual or automatic mode to measure the control points - Definition of max. coordinate and orientation sigma of setup - Powerful on-board software for automatic stake out in relation to the tunnel axis - Import of complete project data from Amberg Tunnel - Availability of different projects on the same instrument - Powerful software for automatic 3D-profile measurements - Automatic tolerance control of measured points in parallel profiles - Numerical on-board processing during measurement with deviations to axis and theoretical profile ## Benefits - The Software is available in flex or buy model - Free Amberg SetUp module for automatic setup of a total station - Design data export from Amberg Tunnel - Comprehensive post processing of profile measurements in Amberg Control ## Compatible Total Stations ### Leica TS20 - Leica Captivate (Linux) [→ Leica TS20](https://leica-geosystems.com/products/total-stations/robotic-total-stations/leica-ts20) ### Leica TS13 - Leica Captivate - With Power search [→ Leica TS13](https://leica-geosystems.com/products/total-stations/robotic-total-stations/leica-ts13) ### Leica TS16 - Leica Captivate - With Power search (TS16P, TS16I) [→ Leica TS16](https://leica-geosystems.com/products/total-stations/robotic-total-stations/leica-ts16) ### Leica MS60 - Leica Captivate [→ Leica MS60](https://leica-geosystems.com/products/total-stations/multistation/leica-nova-ms60) ### Leica TS15 - Leica Viva - With Power search (TS15P, TS15I) - Phased out by Leica ### Leica MS50 - Leica Viva - Phased out by Leica ## Frequently Asked Questions It measures or stakes out points in tunnel and shaft headings with a tachymeter. The software controls the instrument, evaluates the data and displays correction values to the tunnel design. Amberg ProScan plus (fully automatic reflectorless profile and point measurement), Amberg SetOut (automatic stakeout of interval points) and Amberg SetUp (absolute instrument positioning without entering point IDs). Copy AmbergApplications.axx to the \\SYSTEM folder of the memory card or USB stick, insert it and load the app like other Leica on-board software. With a CS25/CS35 remote, install it there too with the same licence keys. The project export from Amberg Tunnel (a single .at2aa file) goes into a \\TMS folder; control points go into the \\DBX folder. The .at2aa files must never be edited manually, or warranty and support are lost. Only the Leica Nova models below; other Leica instruments are not supported.

Each module is unlocked with a licence key entered via F6: Licence. Keys stay on the instrument after updates. Installing or updating requires a valid Maintenance & Support contract, verified by its own licence key. In "Position and measure" there are two methods. Leica Setup calls the standard Leica Captivate setup program from within Amberg Applications. Amberg SetUp measures 3 to 8 target points from the selected control job and computes a Helmert resection; very regularly spaced targets can make it ambiguous or wrong, so verify the displayed stationing and check point. String mode (manual point strings with pole or tunnel disk), Profile mode and Horizontal profile mode (automatic, with step angle or step distance between points). The fully defined design goes out as one .at2aa file, and the measured profiles come back as a Leica DBX job. 1. Define the complete design in Amberg Tunnel: axes, construction stages, theoretical profiles and theoretical sections. 2. Right-click the heading (tunnel or shaft) and choose Export to Amberg Applications; this saves a .at2aa file. 3. Copy the .at2aa file into the \\TMS folder of the memory card or USB stick, and the control points (design data job) into the \\DBX folder. 4. On the instrument, select the design data job and a working job; ProScan plus or SetOut loads the project automatically. 5. Position the instrument and measure. Profile measurements are stored in the working job (DBX); a log file is written to \\TMS. 6. In Amberg Tunnel, import the DBX job into the Measured profiles editor of the construction stage, then analyse it in Amberg Profile.
