When creating a profile in Carlson's desktop software, for the purpose of exporting to a field collector; one MUST be sure to save the profile as a Road profile.
Once saved as a Road profile, one must export the data to a LandXML format. No other data collection software (Topcon, Trimble, etc) can read a Carlson *.PRO file.
The file extension .PRO is a generic extension. Meaning, that it will be used for a variety of profile types. This includes:
- Surface
- Road
- Sewer
- Pipe
- Crossing
- Circular
Data collection programs are unable to tell the difference between the .PRO files. As a result, it is imperative that the office worker set their Profile Type to Road, before exporting the data to the XML format.
