2 Scope of the License
Leica Geosystems AG, Heinrich-Wild-Strasse, CH-9435 Heerbrugg, Switzer-
land (alternatively, the "Licensor" or “Leica Geosystems”) hereby grants to you
(the "Licensee") subject to payment of the applicable license fee and to contin-
uous compliance with all the provisions hereinafter, the non-exclusive, non-
transferable, non-sublicenseable and non-assignable right, to use in the
manner set forth herein the Software on one (1) application, unless other-
wise agreed upon in the Purchase Agreement. The use of the Software for a
purpose other than as licensed herein shall not be permitted.
The foregoing license is limited as follows: (a) the Software will only be used
on such permitted number of applications and in a mechanically readable form;
(b) the Software will as a whole or in part be installed, saved and run only on
the Specified Computer Facility in accordance with the installation instructions
of Licensor; and (c) one (1) copy of the Software may be made exclusively for
security and archiving purposes, provided that such copy carries a comprehen-
sive copyright notice together with all additional references to the rights of
Licensor to the Software and the designation of the original version. In the
event that the Software is an update or an additional module for an already
licensed system, instrument or facility, Licensee may make only as many copies
as previously authorized by Licensor. Certain Software supplied by Licensor may
contain a special program that regulates and monitors the number of simulta-
neous users of the Software in a network environment together with the num-
ber of the licensed copies of the Software, excluding back-up copies (the
“Special Program”). Licensee hereby consents to the inclusion and operation of
such Special Program and to the use of other security devices in connection
with the Software and Licensee shall be prohibited from circumventing,
reverse-engineering or copying such Special Program or any other security
devices.
Licensee will only use the Software in the manner permitted under the forego-
ing license and will not (a) alter the Software or any part thereof in any man-
ner (including, without limitation, through modifications, adaptations, transla-
tions, or second-hand versions.), (b) decompile the Software or any part
thereof, (c) reverse-engineer or disassemble the Software or any part thereof
or manipulate the Software in any other way into a form that persons can
read, (d) transfer the Software or any part thereof to another operating sys-
tem, (e) pass on the Software or any part thereof to a third party or make it
available to a third party in any other manner (including, without limitation, for
testing or by gift, lease, loan or sublicense, or via a service bureau) without the
prior written consent of Licensor, (f) use the Software or any part thereof on a
computer facility other than the Specified Computer Facility, or on more than
one work station, on networks, on a client server system or on mobile addi-
tional instruments without the prior written consent of Licensor, (g) remove,
alter, or obscure any proprietary notices, labels, or marks from the Software,
(h) use any equipment, device, software, or other means designed to circum-
vent or remove any form of copy protection used by Leica Geosystems in con-
nection with the Software, or use the Software together with any authorization
code, serial number, or other copy-protection device not supplied by Leica Geo-

systems directly or through an authorized distributor; or (i) use any equipment,
device, software, or other means designed to circumvent or remove any usage
restrictions, or to enable functionality disabled by Leica Geosystems.
Installation, access, and continued use of the Software may require an entitle-
ment number. Registration may be required for certain features or before an
entitlement number is issued by Leica Geosystems. Licensee agrees that Leica
Geosystems may use data and information provided by Licensee, an authorized
reseller, or any other third party acting on behalf of Licensee in connection
with the purchase of the software license to register the Software. Licensee
agrees to provide Leica Geosystems, an authorized reseller, or any other third
party acting on Licensee’s behalf with accurate and current registration infor-
mation, and Licensee further agrees to maintain and update this registration
information through customer data registration processes that may be provi-
ded by Leica Geosystems. By installing and using the Software, Licensee con-
sents to Leica Geosystems using any personal information provided at registra-
tion, or updated thereafter, to issue entitlement numbers, to manage Leica
Geosystems’s relationship with Licensee (including automating the issuance of
entitlement numbers for future purchases), and to otherwise use any such per-
sonal information in conformance with its privacy policy –if applicable-, which
is available on request.
The activation security mechanisms may disable the Software if Licensee
attempts without Leica Geosystems’ consent or authorisation to transfer it to
another computer or device, if the date-setting mechanisms on the computer
or devise is tampered with, if Licensee uses the Software past an applicable
evaluation period or limited term, or if Licensee undertakes certain other
actions that may offset the security mode.
This Software may cause the Specified Computer Facility to automatically con-
nect to the Internet and to communicate with Leica Geosystems and or with
third parties connected with the development and/or the validation of the
Software.
This Software license does not cover or include the use of third party soft-
ware. Licensee’s right to use any such software shall be governed by the provi-
sions set forth by such third party.
This Software license shall also apply to Open Source Software (OSS). In
case of conflict with the terms of this Software License Agreement, the terms
of the respective OSS license agreement shall govern.
3 Warranty
Express Warranty. Licensor warrants to the original Licensee that (a) the
data carrier medium on which the Software is stored shall be free from
defects in workmanship and material at the time of delivery to Licensee, and
(b) for the warranty period specified in the relevant Purchase Order, the Soft-
ware (but not Updates) shall function in material accordance with the Specifi-
cations, provided the Software is used in the manner permitted in the forego-
ing license, on the Specified Computer Facility and in accordance with the con-
ditions of installation, use and operation set forth in the Product description.
Licensor does not warrant that the Software will be free of defects, run
without interruption, meet the expectations of Licensee, or function in combi-
nation with the hardware or software products of third parties, or that all pro-
gram errors will be corrected. In addition to the foregoing, in order for a defect
in the Software to be sufficiently material so as to violate the warranty set
forth in letter (b) above of this paragraph, the defect must cause the Software
- while being used in the manner permitted in the foregoing license - to func-
6
Leica Geosystems Software Licence Agreement
tion in a way so divergent from the Specifications that it is unsuitable for the
purpose described in the Product description. Furthermore, if the required
functionality can be achieved by the Licensee indirectly (through a so called
“work-around”), then the applicable impairment shall not constitute a defect
giving rise to duties under the foregoing warranty. Licensor’s sole obligation
under the foregoing warranty shall be, at Licensor’s sole option and expense,
to either (a) replace the data carrier and/or the Software, so as to materially
conform with the Specifications (including, without limitation, replacement
with a more recent version or equivalent software); or (b) repair the Software
by providing, correction codes, work-around solutions and/or Updates, includ-
ing updated documentation and other documents; or (c) terminate this
License Agreement and refund all license fees received following the return of
the Software in accordance with Section 7 below. The foregoing warranty will
apply to any replaced data carriers and Software until expiry of the original
warranty period. The costs and risk of any delivery of Software to the service
point nominated by Licensor shall be borne by Licensee.
Obtaining warranty service. If Licensee detects a defect in the Software that
may give rise to a duty under the foregoing warranty, it will cease using the
Software immediately and notify Licensor or its local sales partner in writing of
the defect and provide sufficient supporting documentation within the period
for notifying defects. Such period for notifying defects is ninety (90) days from
the date of delivery of the data carrier medium (for a defect in the data carrier
medium) and one (1) year from the date of delivery of the Software (for a
defect in the Software). The written supporting documentation relating to the
defect will be sufficient if it permits the defect detected by Licensee to be
capable of reproduction by Licensor. Licensee will annex the relevant purchase
receipt so that Licensor can determine compliance with the periods for notify-
ing defects. Licensee will not carry out modifications or repairs itself or permit
such modifications or repairs to be carried out by unauthorized third parties. If
requested by Licensor, Licensee will support Licensor in the analysis of the cau-
ses and conditions giving rise to the defect, as well as in the development and
testing of correction codes or a work-around solution.
Warranty exclusive. Licensee’s sole remedy for Software defects is set forth
in the foregoing express warranty. The Software is licensed with its current fea-
tures “as is” and with no warranty or guarantee of whatever nature, other than
the foregoing express warranty. Such express warranty is in lieu of all other
warranties, express or implied, either in fact or by operation of law, statutory
or otherwise, including warranties, terms or conditions of merchantability, fit-
ness for a particular purpose, satisfactory quality and non-infringement, all of
which are expressly disclaimed. Licensee acknowledges that Licensor’s sales
partner or dealers are not allowed to provide any warranty, guarantee or assur-
ance with regard to the use, suitability, or results of use of the Software, or
with regard to the precision, accuracy or reliability thereof, and any such war-
ranty, guarantee or assurance is of no effect. It shall be the responsibility of
Licensee to select the Software that fulfils its requirements. Licensee shall bear
the full risk for the performance of and results achieved by the Software and
for its suitability for the use that Licensee has planned for it, even when Licen-
sor has been informed of the planned use of the Software.
Licensor shall be relieved of its obligations under the foregoing express
warranty to the extent that any defect is caused by circumstances for which it
is not responsible, including, without limitation, (a) non-compliance with the
conditions of use and operation contained in the Product description or the
documentation; (b) non-compliance with the provisions of this License Agree-
ment; (c) unauthorized modifications to or interference with the Software by
Licensee or third parties; (d) errors in the operation of the Software by Licen-
Leica Geosystems Software Licence Agreement
7
see or by third party staff; (e) influences from systems or programs that have
not been supplied by Licensor; or (f) use on a computer facility other than the
Specified Computer Facility.
In the event that Licensor is not responsible for a defect pursuant to these
warranty provisions or that Licensor incurs additional expenditure as a result of
the failure of Licensee to comply fully with its obligations under this Section 3
(including, without limitation, its obligation to support and provide documenta-
tion to Licensor), Licensor shall have the right to charge Licensee for the costs
that it incurs for the analysis and rectification of the defect according to the
time and materials required and in accordance with the applicable rates
charged by Licensor at the time.
4 Intellectual Property Rights
Licensee shall only hold those rights to the Software that are expressly descri-
bed in Section 2 of this License Agreement. Any other rights with regard to the
Software, including without limitation, ownership rights and patent, copy-
right, trademark, trade secret and other intellectual property rights,
shall remain the sole property of Licensor. Licensee will not remove from the
Software any references to copyrights, trademarks or other ownership rights,
or cover up or alter any such references. Licensee will take all reasonable steps
to prevent any unauthorized use, reproduction, sale, or publication of the Soft-
ware or the unauthorized provision of access thereto. Licensee will indemnify
and hold harmless Licensor from any losses, damages, claims and expenses
(including, without limitation, reasonable legal expenses) relating to any
infringement of the rights of Licensor caused by Licensee, Licensee’s breach of
this License Agreement or Licensee’s use of the Software in a manner not
authorized under this license agreement.
In the event that Licensee faces legal proceedings based on the allegation
that Licensee’s use of a valid, unmodified version of the Software in accord-
ance with the terms and conditions of this License Agreement infringes an
existing intellectual property right in Switzerland, the European Union, Japan,
the USA or in any other countries where Licensor sells the Software, or that
such use constitutes unfair competition, Licensor shall defend any such pro-
ceedings at its own expense, provided that Licensee has informed Licensor
immediately in writing of the proceedings raised, has granted Licensor a Power
of Attorney authorizing it to conduct and settle the legal proceedings, and, if
requested by Licensor, has provided Licensor with reasonable support in the
defence of such proceedings.
In the event that, in the sole opinion of Licensor, the valid, unmodified ver-
sion of the Software could infringe the intellectual property rights of
third parties, it shall at its own exclusive discretion (a) either obtain authori-
zation from such third party for the continued use of the Software by Licensee,
(b) replace the Software, (c) modify it in such a manner that there is no longer
any infringement of intellectual property rights, or (d) if the foregoing meas-
ures are not within the bounds of what is reasonably possible, terminate this
Agreement effective immediately and refund to Licensee a portion of the
license fees paid (after deduction of an appropriate payment for the use
already made of the Software by Licensee).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Licensor shall be relieved of its obligations
under the prior two paragraphs of this Section 4 if the infringement claim is
based on the allegation or fact that the Software (a) has been modified by
Licensee, or (b) is being used with other programs or data and such combina-
tion has led to an infringement of a third party right, (c) has been used on a
computer facility other than the Specified Computer Facility, or (d) has been
8
Leica Geosystems Software Licence Agreement
used and operated under conditions other than those specified in the Product
description.
5 Limitation of Liability
To the extent permitted under applicable law, Licensor shall not be liable for
any direct, indirect or consequential loss or damage, including, without limita-
tion, loss of income, loss of business profits or loss of contracts, unrealized
cost reductions, loss of data, business interruption, or increased costs on the
part of Licensee or any other financial losses, that result from or in connection
with the purchase, license, use, breakdown or interruption of operation of the
Software. The foregoing limitation of liability shall also apply in the event that
Licensor has been notified of the possibility of such losses being incurred.
Licensor shall only be liable for loss or damage caused by Licensor’s gross neg-
ligence or wilful misconduct. This limitation of liability shall apply to all claims
for loss and damage irrespective of their legal grounds, including, without limi-
tation, claims based on tort, contract, pre- contract or quasi-contract. This limi-
tation of liability shall also apply to any officers, directors or employees of
Licensor, or any representatives or agents of Licensor that are involved in the
development, marketing or supply of the Software.
It shall be the exclusive duty of Licensee to ensure that it and its staff pos-
sesses the required knowledge to properly install and use the Software. Licen-
sor shall not be liable for problems and defects that arise from insufficient
knowledge on the part of the users of the Software.
6 Exclusion of other Assurances
Licensee hereby agrees that no verbal or written assurances, declarations,
statements, recommendations or advertising messages have been made by
Licensor, its employees, sales partners, agents, dealers or downstream distrib-
utors that could give rise to an amendment or extension of the foregoing war-
ranties and limitation of liability. Licensee is hereby given notice that none of
the forenamed persons is authorized by Licensor to make any such amend-
ments or to provide any such assurances.
7 Duration and Termination
This License Agreement shall come into force on the agreement of Licensee to
the provisions hereof and shall remain in force for the term indicated in the
Purchase Order.
In addition to any other right of termination provided in this License Agree-
ment, each party shall be entitled to terminate this License Agreement at any
time with immediate effect:
a)
in the event of a material violation of a contractual duty by the other party,
including, without limitation, default in payment of the license fee, if the
party in breach does not remedy such violation within forty-five (45) days
after being served with a notice in writing;
b)
is unable to pay its debts, or becomes insolvent, or is subject to an order
or a resolution for its liquidation, administration, winding-up or dissolution
(otherwise than for the purposes of a solvent amalgamation or reconstruc-
tion), or has an administrative or other receiver, manager, trustee, liquida-
tor, administrator or similar officer appointed over all or any substantial
part of its assets, or enters into or proposes any composition or arrange-
ment with its creditors generally, or is subject to any analogous event or
proceeding in any applicable jurisdiction.
Leica Geosystems Software Licence Agreement
9
On any termination of this License Agreement, all rights of use of the Software
held by Licensee shall expire. Within thirty (30) days from the date of termina-
tion of the License Agreement Licensee will return to Licensor or destroy (and
confirm such destruction in writing to Licensor) the Software and all copies or
partial copies thereof that have been made, as well as all modified parts of the
Software or interfacing parts linking to other programs or data systems, and to
the extent available, all security devices.
8 Import, Export and Use of the Software
Licensee shall be exclusively responsible for ensuring compliance with the rele-
vant legislation relating to its rights to import, export or use the Software.
9 General Provisions
If any term or provision of this agreement shall be or shall become invalid or
unenforceable for any reason, such term or provision shall be ineffective to the
extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining
terms and provisions hereof, provided, however, that the parties shall replace
any such invalid or unenforceable provision by a valid and enforceable provision
as comes nearest to the original provision in economic impact and intent. This
agreement may only be modified in writing, signed by an authorized officer of
Leica Geosystems. This is the entire agreement between Leica Geosystems and
Licensee regarding the Software and it supersedes any prior representation,
discussions, undertakings, communications or advertising relating to the Soft-
ware.
10 Third Party Beneficiary
The parties expressly agree that subsidiaries of Leica Geosystems, including
the entity from whom the Customer purchased the Product, is a third party
beneficiary of this Software License Agreement, and, without limiting the fore-
going, such subsidiaries shall have all defences available to Leica Geosystems
under this Software License Agreement.
11 Governing Law and Place of Jurisdiction
This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of Switzerland, excluding all con-
flicts of laws principles and excluding the United Nations Convention on Con-
tracts for the International Sale of Goods. The ordinary courts at the headquar-
ters of Leica Geosystems AG in Balgach, Switzerland shall have jurisdiction.
Licensor shall, in its sole discretion, also have the right to invoke the courts of
law having jurisdiction at the domicile or place of business of Licensee.

Data is stored to a job. After formatting the data storage device, the default job
is used until a user-defined job is created and selected.
The properties of the job determine some system properties, such as the
codelist, coordinate system and TS scale factor.
When a job becomes the job, then the sort and filter settings of this job are
saved in the System RAM. If the data storage device is formatted then these
last used sort and filter settings are used for the default job.

Page changes to the TS scale page.
The geometric distance correction (geometric ppm) is derived from the map
projection distortion (map projection ppm), the height above reference datum
correction (height ppm) and an individual correction (individual ppm).
The calculation of the map projection ppm follows the formula for the Trans-
versal Mercator Projection. The individual factors are: the scale factor of the line
of projection central meridian, Gauss-Krüger = 1.0, UTM = 0.9996, and so on,
and the offset from the line of projection.
The calculation of the height ppm is derived from the height of the instrument
setup above the reference datum. Normally this is the height above mean sea-
level MSL.

Additional calculation method for the geometric ppm value
The geometric ppm value can also be calculated by a resection calculation. The
scale factor from the resection is used for PPM.
Individual ppm=(s-1)*106.s=1+ppm*10-6. The Geometric ppm value is calcu-
lated with the following:
•
Scale at CM: 1,
•
Offset to CM: 0,
•
Map projection ppm: 0 and
•
Ground height: 0.

Automatic calculation of the geometric ppm value
When Compute scale from: Current setup:
•
the ppm values for Map projection ppm, Height ppm and Geometric
ppm are automatically calculated. The coordinates of the current instru-
ment setup stored in the internal memory are used, which are based on
the currently active coordinate system.
•
each time an app is accessed, the geometric ppm value is automatically
calculated. The coordinates of the current instrument setup stored in the
internal memory are used (these coordinates may have been updated),
which are based on the currently active coordinate system (this coordinate
system may have changed). This way, the user is always working with the
correct geometric ppm value.
•
when the None coordinate system is chosen, then the geometric ppm
value cannot be automatically calculated. A message appears, allowing the
user to either manually enter the ppm values or accept ppm values of 0.

7.3.3
Mean Page
In order to check measurements, the same point can be measured more than
once.
These measured points are assigned the class Measured. The various meas-
ured coordinate triplets for one point can be recorded using the same point ID.
If the Duplicate points mode is activated, an average is calculated when more
than one measured coordinate triplet is available for the same point ID.
The averaged point is given the class Average. It is checked if the deviations
of each single point are within the limits configured in Duplicate Points.
After averaging, the Mean page becomes available when editing the point and
accessible from the Measure app. Available functionality on the Mean page
depends on the selected Duplicate points mode.

Check the average
When more than one measured coordinate triplet is
