Copy Field Data to a Data Card

Use the Copy Field Data To Data Card command to copy job site and job site design data from your project onto a data card so it can be used on a GCS machine in the field. The job site design can have multiple controllers assigned, but you can export the data for one machine only at a time.

Prerequisites:

This command only applies to machines with GCS/AccuGrade Machine Control software lower than version 12.0 and PCS900 version 2.0.

To access the command:

  • Select Copy Field Data to Data Card in Construction Data > Publish Data.
  • Right-click a job site, job site design, or GCS machine in the Project Explorer and select Copy Field Data To Data Card from the context menu.

    The Copy Field Data To Data Card dialog displays.

To copy field data to a data card:

  1. Access the Copy Field Data To Data Card command.
  2. Select the GCS machine for which you want to copy data by checking the boxes in the Controllers list. The data needs to include at least one job site design to be copied to the data card.
  3. Type the path to a data card in the Data card folder box, or click the Browse button to browse for a data card folder.

    Note: Data can only be copied to data cards for GCS machines, not to SCS site controllers.

  4. Click OK. Any existing folders on the data card are deleted, and the job site and design files are copied onto the card.
