General
The possible application „Recording of a KHR- Laser measurement“ is part of the
program WIN ALC.
Operating the vehicle-borne computer is to be seen in the WIN ALC - operating manual/
SDG 7.1.6, 7.2.2, 7.3.2

Application
In order to comment expected displacement- or lifting values or - if required - also
to change them a straight section is recorded by the combined height and lining
laser.
The laser measuring run can be extended to several sections.
The recording sections are put together by the processing mode.

Consecutively functions, such as key assignments, are described which refer only to the
laser-measuring-run-program and are therefore not contained in the above cited
description.

Symbols respectively their function are described with a temporary text display by locating
the mouse pointer on the symbol. Additionally the function of this symbol is described on
the lower bar, left side.

Further comments can be retrieved via auxiliary files.

Opening of auxiliary files in the menu bar / question-mark button

or
put symbol on inexplicit section of the menu in order to open the
respective auxiliary file for explanation.

Preparation of KHR- Laser- Measuring run

Within the machine:
Drive the machine to the start site and press the measuring vehicles towards the reference
rail. Set up the basic rail for levelling.
Adjust Laser-operating mode to „ALC-Computer“ via selector switch.

At the front wagon:

Fix a lasting mark of the position „Front Tension-Wagon“ to rail or tie.

The Laser -Emitting-Wagon:

The laser emitting wagon is to be positioned at the first section’s end-point and to be
pressed towards the same side as the measuring vehicles of the machine.
Adjust laser-beam-mode „Point“ for recording of lifting and lining respectively “Sweep” for
lining recording.
Switch on laser.
The laser beam is to be aimed exactly at the center of the receiver within +-10mm.
The exact position within the receiver is shown via red light displays and also at the
machine’s front side by white headlights.

The vehicle-borne computer:

Switch on the computer via master switch.
Start up of the computer by input of the password.

Open the KHR- laser measuring run with „File - New-KHR-measuring” or

symbol in program WIN ALC.
4 SDG 7_4_1

Preparing display of board KHR measuring run.

Write the file name into the input field.
With „start place“ a given start position with
reference to the kilometre indication can be put
in.
The measuring direction according to the used
kilometre indication.

„Operating mode“ is the selection of the signal

for the way-progress. “Standard mode” is with
signal from the position encoder.

If a file name was prepared or if a laser-measuring run should be continued an already

existing file can be opened via the function-field „KHR measuring“.

After filling out the board and confirmation of the input the display of the measuring run will
be opened in form of a table and layout with detailed informations.

Start of laser-measuring run

Start the section of measuring run with control key F5 or in menu bar
„KHR-measuring“-„start“ or symbol.

Notice: Laser beam must contact the receiver.

Display of measuring-run started, waiting for the encoder impulse.

The measuring-run starts with the encoder impulse during the machine’s drive.
 SDG 7_4_1 7

During the measuring marking points can be set with control key „F2“.

If in „Settings, Measuring/Compensation KHR“ the

selection „With measuring run input dialog for
marking points” is chosen text can be entered into
the dialog field after activation of key “F2”.

Of course the marking is positioned at that point

where this occurrence was triggered.

Stop of laser-measuring run

After arriving at the emitter-wagon the measuring is to be stopped.
Stop the section with menu selection „KHR-measuring, terminating“ or via symbol
button „DOOR“ .

The finished measuring run should be stored.

8 SDG 7_4_1

Start of an additional section

Move the laser vehicle ahead to the next point and adjust the laser
beam. Start additional measuring - section.

This rhythm can be repeated for an optional number of sections.

 SDG 7_4_1 9

Display of the recorded displacement- and lifting values (yellow) and of the
measurement values of the new section.

Inspection and processing of the results

In order to get a display of the complete distances after
finishing of the laser measuring run one can change to the
presentation or to the working mode. Changes of the Display:
displacement- and lifting values received by the laser-
measuring run can be executed in the working mode. Evaluating:

These changes can be achieved with setting of so called lining polygon

„polygon points“ (separate for lining and lifting).
lifting polygon
With adjustment of the length measure a more exact
positioning of the polygon points can be achieved.

The entered displacement- and lifting values will be built up or cut back linear within
the individual points. This corresponds to the addition of a straight line to the
recorded displacement- and lifting value. These straight lines result in a “frequency
polygon”.
10 SDG 7_4_1

Analysing display:

Marking bar: the entered marking points

Field Displacement:
Recorded track position and frequency polygon.

Field Sum Displacement:

Recorded track position and the achieved change(es) after placing of (a) polygon
point(s).
Limitation of the displacement. These values can be adjusted in „File-Settings-
Displacement-Lifting value” or with double click and mouse pointer position on the
limitation.

Lifting value: recorded track position and frequency polygon.

Sum lifting value:

Recorded height position (yellow) and the recorded super elevation (orange).
After placement of polygon point(s) the achieved change(s). Limitation of lifting.
These values can be adjusted in „File-Settings-Displacement-Lifting value” or with
double click and mouse pointer position on the limitation.
 SDG 7_4_1 11

After input of a correction of the actually recorded

displacement value the recorded value can be reduced or
increased.

This is applicable to changes of lifting values logically.

Display displacement- and lifting value changes by means of polygon points.

12 SDG 7_4_1

Storage of the recorded data

According to the selection in the program WIN
ALC the recorded data are stored in the file
„External Displacement/Height correction“
or on disc.
 SDG 7_4_1 13

Preparation of work mode

For the work mode these data are to be recorded in the board “Preparing Work Mode” in
connection with a target geometry with a straight route (cant as wanted respectively
possible).

For this purpose the operating with displacement/lifting correction - file is chosen.

The last used file is preselected. (Otherwise the selection of an other file is possible with
„Browse“).

The start of work must begin at the start of the KHR-measuring.

The measuring systems must be adjusted in the same way as during the laser-
measuring run.
14 SDG 7_4_1

Display work mode with file „External Displacement/Lifting correction“.

Termination of work mode

The work mode is to be terminated via

button „DOOR“. Afterwards the shown
query appears for respective
confirmation.
