This is why Zeiss has introduced the family concept. From the spectrum of
components such as different viewers and computer models and the modular
software and software options, several Planicomp systems have been assem-
bled which are described in the following.
3.1 C130 Planicomp
The C130 Planicomp analytical stereoplotter is the cheapest member of the
Planicomp family. As a standalone application-oriented workstation for
computer-supported data acquisition and mapping, it is the workhorse
in particular for model and bundle block measurement, digital terrain
model measurement (e. g. for orthoprojection), and for computer-supported
digital or interactive mapping.
It consists of
a standard viewer without zoom lens, i. e. with 8x magnification or
with 16x magnification if the optional 16x eyepieces are used.
- the HP 1000 Micro 26, i. e. the A600- processor with a memory capacity
of 512 KB and an optional integrated 10 MB Winchester disc with 3 1/2"
microfloppy disc drive, or a 16 MB Winchester disc with integrated
cartridge tape backup unit.
- Zeiss control electronics housed together with the computer in a cabi-
net below the viewer.
- HP 2621B terminal with integrated thermal printer.
- basic Planicomp software for orientation and measurement.
- optional software for mapping (PLANIMAP or Intergraph communication),
bundle orientation (C007), progressive sampling (B075), strip triangu-
lation (STRIM), data I/O, off-line (GEFIO) and on-line (computer inter-
connection), and user programming.
3.2 C120 Planicomp
The C120 Planicomp analytical plotting unit (Fig. 1) is a flexible work-
station offering Further processing options. It features increased com-
puter power and more flexihle peripheral equipment and software configu-
rations than the C130. The C120 consists of
- a viewer with two independently adjustable zoom lenses for a magnifica-
tion range of 7.5x to 30x,
- an HP 1000 Micro 27, i. e. the A700 processor with floating-point hard-
ware and a memory capacity of, for example, 512 KB, and a 16 MB Min-
chester disc with tape backup unit or user-selected periphery,
- the Zeiss control electronics housed together with the computer in a
separate rack cabinet,
