A Blueprint For Successful Layout

TDS Layout Pro™ software and the TDS Recon® data collector together offer the convenience of carrying, managing, editing, and laying out your job site blueprint while you're on the go. And, this is all possible regardless of the method or instrumentation used. The power of a familiar user interface, specialized software, and built-in Construction Master® Pro Calculator from Calculated Industries, Inc. make Layout Pro a must-have tool that will revolutionize the way you work.

By using Layout Pro, you can organize and standardize all layout activity for your equipment from a transit and tape to a total station. You'll see the savings in shorter training times, as well as more flexibility and independence-if one instrument is unavailable, you can quickly and easily swap out for another.

Designed to make the layout process more productive, accurate and reliable- Layout Pro is a critical tool in the field of construction layout. Layout Pro is the first software from TDS created specifically to meet the unique requirements of in-the-field construction layout.





Here's what's special about Layout Pro:

Graphical display and entry of blueprints and layout points
Store multiple jobs with less reliance on paperwork. Quickly and easily check for errors in the blueprint. With Layout Pro you have the ability to input blueprint dimensions and build a digital replica of the layout plan. Then you can use Layout Pro to guide the layout of the major points, add string dimensions on the print, as well as calculate diagonals and angles.

Maximize by pairing with a total station
When attached to a total station, Layout Pro provides the most significant gains in productivity, accuracy and reliability. Stakeout may be performed directly from an entered plan or by using a reference line and entering down and out dimensions. In either case, Layout Pro guides the instrument to the point to be staked. Electronic distance measurement assures accuracy. Easily replace missing points using the same methods.

Construction Master Pro calculator
The most complete builder's calculator on the market, Construction Master Pro calculator from Calculated Industries, Inc., is fully integrated within Layout Pro! This Pocket version offers all the capabilities and productivity-boosting features of the original: dimensional math and conversions, fractions, instant area and volume, easy stair and rafter calculations and much more.

Windows Mobile for Pocket PCs
In addition to all of the critical functions you can perform with Layout Pro, you'll also experience time savings and convenience since the TDS Recon runs Windows Mobile 2003 software for Pocket PCs, providing you with the full suite of Pocket versions of your favorite programs. You can check your calendar, reference an Excel spreadsheet, create a Word document and much more-right from the job site - in Pocket format. In addition, Windows Mobile software gives you the power to run literally thousands of applications developed for Pocket PCs.

Complex layouts become straightforward
Layout Pro makes more complex layouts—such as curves and arcs—as straightforward as any other. In addition to general layout and positioning tasks, Layout Pro can also be used for standard field calculations, materials calculations and job site management.

Recon
Layout Pro runs on the TDS Recon data collector, designed for all-day operation in extreme outdoor and industrial environments. The Recon meets MIL-STD-810F military standards for drops, vibration and temperature extremes. It also has an IP67 rating, meaning it's impervious to water and dust. The Recon's rugged construction makes it ideal for land surveying, mapping, forestry and other outdoor applications. The standard PowerBoot Module™ features a 15-hour rechargeable NiMH battery.
