Total Open Station

Asked by Stefano Costa

This project aims at creating a Python application that allows the download of data from total station (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Total_station) devices, a task which is usually done by proprietary, dedicated and Windows-only software.

This project was started for making it easier to manage different models of total stations, often used in the same fieldwork unit, mainly in a GNU/Linux environment. However, trying to develop following standards, porting to Windows or Mac shouldn't be difficult.

Every model has its own quirks. So, we use a modular structure, that is based on an abstract interface. Each time a new model is added to the program, you create a new instance of this base class, with all the needed data.

Development is the early steps and takes place at http://sharesource.org/project/totalopenstation/
