permits the conversion of a 
e C100 Planicomp with HP 1000 and Planimap 
software 
into a

software. 
Depending on the computer platform, the converted 
P2 Planicomp can be run with 
e P-software and PHOCUS on a UNIX or VMS 
basis, 
e P-software and CADMAP on a UNIX basis, or 
e P-CAP and CADMAP, MicroStation or AutoCAD 
on a MS-DOS basis.

3.2 Upgrading of P-Series Planicomp 
The P-Series Planicomp was initially based on the 
host computers HP 1000 A (RTE A) and DEC 
MicroVAX (VMS). The availability of PHOCUS on 
Silicon Graphics workstations (UNIX) and DEC AXP 
(VMS) now permits the previous computers to be 
replaced by high-performance computers and earlier 
software versions by the new PHOCUS revisions 5 
and 6. In MS-DOS configurations, new powerful PCs 
and the new revisions of the CAD software such as 
MicroStation 5 or AutoCAD 12 can now be used. In 
addition, the viewers of P3 and P33 Planicomp can 
be equipped with VIDEOMAP 30, the 
superimposition system for MS-DOS, which further 
increases their efficiency. 
4. Practical implementation 
Counselling and the implementation of the 
upgrading are the responsibility of the specialist 
personnel at Carl Zeiss Oberkochen and at the 
regional service and support centers. Advice, 
trainging and support are provided by 
photogrammetry experts, whereas the installation 
and integration of the new system components are 
performed by Zeiss service technicians and are 
frequently combined with a maintenance service for 
the opto-mechanical viewers.
