Modifications in PANDA, version 5.30

The software package PANDA – continuously developed and optimized through adaptations to new scientific findings and technological standards. In the now available version 5.30 we have realized the following extensions of the scope of services:

Changes in version 5.30

• Reading CSV files with tachymetric measurements, which can then be reduced.
• When calculating approximate coordinates, all error messages are output at the end of the log file. If no datum / fixed points are defined in the point list all identical points are used for the Helmert transformation. New calculated points will no longer be marked as datum points. If no error occurs during the calculation, the new calculated points can be updated directly into the database.
• When outputting the network in the PDF file, the scale of the mesh and ellipses is shown.
• When calculating baselines using WaSoft’s WA2 program, you can now specify a directory of files containing the antenna calibrations. PANDA automatically searches for the correct file with the antenna data and passes the names to WA2.
