2 Introduction
2.1 The Quarryman Pro
Introduction
2-1
Figure 1: The Quarryman Pro LR
The Quarryman Pro is a field instrument which combines reflectorless laser ‘point and shoot’
measurement technology with high-speed automatic scanning. The unit can thus be used for
conventional total station survey methods as well as 3D laser scanning. Complete scenes and
objects in view at ranges of up to 1,200 m can be surveyed.
The instrument employs the ‘time-of-flight’ laser measurement technique to measure ranges to
rock faces and other objects without the need to place reflectors at the target. This allows accurate
measurements to be made of inaccessible points such as quarry faces and stockpiles.
Versions of the Quarryman have been used in the field for over 30 years. This experience has
ensured that the instrument has been developed very specifically for its intended applications.
It is designed to be as simple to use as possible and is capable of operating in the harshest
environments.
Selective use of the FastScan feature enables single or multiple high-definition scans to take place,
highlighting rock features and anomalies.
The Quarryman Pro will observe 250 points per second, or up to 900,000 points per hour.
Quarryman Viewer software is supplied with the Quarryman Pro. This can be used to process the
survey, and then to edit, view and export the data. Many third-party packages will also take in data
from the Quarryman Pro for specialist profiling and volumetric applications.

Units of measurement
Data in the FSC file may have been collected in metric or imperial units, but this is not recorded in
the FSC file. Therefore it is necessary to make the appropriate selection (metres or feet) from the
Select units drop-down list. By default, this option is set the same as the Units option in the Global
Settings window.
Assign Stations
In the Assign Stations table, each separate Face ID within the FSC file is listed as a separate
instrument station. For example, if you typed Face number 01, 02 and 03 in the Quarryman, these
are represented here as stations 1, 2 and 3.
NOTE: On Renishaw-branded Quarryman units, ‘Face ID’ is referred to as ‘Station ID’.
NOTE: A Face ID can only be typed into the Quarryman when it is first switched on. It is assumed
that during field operations Face IDs are used to differentiate between different instrument stations.
Code IDs are then used to differentiate between various datasets taken from each station: for
example scans, traverse observations and shots to individual features will each have a defined
Code ID, whichever instrument station they are observed from.
Alongside the Face ID and Station number is a column in which the Reference Station can be
defined for each station. The Reference Station refers to the direction that the Quarryman was
aimed at when it was first switched on. This may also be referred to as the reference object or
backsight. It defines the direction that the Quarryman was pointing in when the horizontal angle
was zeroed. This is important if datasets from multiple stations need to be coordinated, or if data
Ribbon menu –
from a single station needs to be geo-referenced on a known coordinate system.
Each drop-down list in the Reference Station column will contain a list of all control stations that
Data
have been identified in the project, either from Face ID numbers in the FSC file or from imported
stations. In addition, North will be included in the list. This can be used if a single station on
7-4 arbitrary coordinates has been used, or if the initial reference was to grid or magnetic North.
The selections of each Reference Station can be made at a later stage of the process if required.
Control stations can be imported using the Import Stations button on this window (see below) or
from within the Stations item on the Data ribbon menu (see Section 7.5, “Stations”).
Assign Codes
Each Code ID used in the FSC file is listed in the Assign Codes table. A description from the drop-
down list beside each Code ID must be selected before you can progress further through the FSC
Import Wizard window.
The selection can either be made manually using these drop-down lists or automatically using a
code table which specifies a fixed meaning for each code. This code table can be created using the
Codes item on the Data ribbon menu. Use the Import Codes button in this FSC Import Wizard
window (see below) to apply a code table to the imported data.
To manually select descriptions, use the drop-down list and select an appropriate option from the
list below:
• None: the default selection, which must be replaced by one of the options below.
• Scan: scans, whether collected using FastScan, or the AutoFix or Point and shoot features.
• Observation: individual observations to pick out features.
• To Station: backsight and foresight observations taken during a traverse when the Code ID
entered represents the station being observed. This will enable the most efficient use of the
automatic traverse computation which can be accessed from the Traverse item in the Data
menu ribbon.
For example, a Code ID 04 under Face ID 03 with a ‘To Station’ description will represent an
observation (backsight or foresight) from an instrument set up at station 3 to station 4.
• Resection: resection observations to known control stations. These observations will be used
by the resection computation which is accessed by right-clicking the appropriate face (the face
from which the observations were taken) in the project tree and selecting Perform resection.
• Range and Bearing: an observation to a target to establish a new instrument station. These
observations will be used by the bearing and distance computation which is accessed by right-
clicking the appropriate face in the project tree (the face to which the observations were taken)
and selecting Perform bearing and distance.
• Backsight: backsight observations taken during a traverse when the code ID entered is unique
for each observation. This will enable the use of the automatic traverse computation which can
Ribbon menu –
be accessed from the Traverse item in the Data menu ribbon.
For example, a Code ID 21 under a Face ID 02 with a ‘Backsight’ description will represent a
backsight observed from an instrument set up at station 2 to station 1.
Data
• Foresight: foresight observations taken during a traverse when the Code ID entered is unique
for each observation. This will enable the use of the automatic traverse computation which can 7-5
be accessed from the Traverse item in the Data menu ribbon.
For example, a Code ID 23 under a Face ID 02 with a ‘Foresight’ description will represent a
foresight observed from an instrument set up at station 2 to station 3.
• Toe: a string will be drawn along the points representing the toe of a rock face.
• Crest: a string will be drawn along the points representing the crest of a rock face.
• Hole Collars: will register the points as collar locations and will represent each of them with a
marker in the graphics display.
• Polygon: currently inactive.
• Point and Shoot: individual observations to pick out features.
• Floor: shots used to define a floor level.
Import Codes
A code table can be created using the Codes item on the Data ribbon menu. This will assign a
fixed description to Code IDs in use in the field. For example:
• IDs 01-20 = To Station
• Code ID 50 = Scan
• Code ID 60 = Resection
The code table is saved as a CSV file.
Click the Import Codes button to import a previously created CSV file into the current project and
to apply it to the imported data. This negates the need to manually select a description from the
drop-down list for each Code ID used within an FSC file.
Import Stations

7.4 Codes
Ribbon menu –
The Code frame deals with pre-defined code tables.
Within an FSC file, observed data is organised by Face ID and then by Code ID, both of which are
entered into the Quarryman in the field as a two-digit number. A specific Face ID normally relates
Data
to an instrument station. A Code ID relates to a particular feature or operation such as a ‘resection’,

7-10 ‘crest’ or ‘scan’.
Each Code ID should be used for one purpose only within each FSC file. For example if code 50
is used to denote a scan from Face 01, then when the instrument is moved to Face 02, code 50
should still be assigned to ‘scan’ and should not be used for any other purpose.
If you retain the link between specific codes and their assigned values as standard practice for
most operations, then a pre-configured code table can be generated as a CSV file. The code table
can be applied to data loaded into any new projects created within Quarryman Viewer and will
ensure that the correct values are automatically assigned to each Code ID.
If a code table is not used, Code IDs will have to be manually assigned to their values each time a
new dataset is imported or a new project is started.
7.4.1 Codes configuration
Click the Codes configuration button. A Codes window appears displaying a list of Code IDs and
their assigned values within the current project.
If no data has yet been loaded into the project, this list will be blank.

7.5 Stations
The Stations frame deals with control stations or instrument stations within the current project.
Control stations are points with known coordinates and are used as reference objects or resection
targets.
Instrument stations are locations where the Quarryman has been set up. These may be calculated
using routines within Quarryman Viewer – resection, traverse or range and bearing calculations
– or they may be known, pre-surveyed, coordinates which have been imported into the current
project.
Click the Stations configuration button. A Stations window appears displaying a list of the stations
used within the current project. The list shows:
Ribbon menu –
• Station ID – if an instrument station, this will have been determined by the Face/Station ID
used in the FSC file; if a control station, this will have been imported in a CSV file or manually
entered. The Station ID will always be a two digit number: 01-99.
Data
• X,Y,Z coordinates – either generated by survey routines within Quarryman Viewer or

the current project.
7.6 Traverse
In the Traverse frame, click the Traverse button. The Traverse window appears. This allows
configuration of traverse computations.
Quarryman Viewer’s ability to compute the traverse will depend on good practice being followed in
the field: i.e. good general survey operations as well as correct and consistent coding being applied
to the observations.
In general, the best method of coding a traverse is as follows:
• Face ID/Station ID refers to the instrument station being occupied
• Code ID for backsights and foresights denote the station being observed
• Reference (i.e. the RO to which the Quarryman’s encoder is zeroed) is the previous station
The table displayed in the Traverse window shows all readings which have been coded as
‘To Station’, ‘Foresight’ or ‘Backsight’. Select the Show All check box to include all single shot
Ribbon menu –
observations in the table, however they have been coded.
Columns in the table display:
Data
• H Angle: observed horizontal angle.
7-15
• V Angle: observed vertical angle.
• Range: observed range.
• Code: value assigned to the Code ID used for each observation.
• Reference: station or direction to which the Quarryman was referenced at each instrument
station.
• From: station from which the observation was taken.
• To: station to which the observation was taken.
• Active: select the check box to include the observation in the traverse computation.
• Adjustment arrows: the arrows move the observation up and down the table. If using Bowditch
mode, use the adjustment arrows where necessary to ensure the observations are in the
correct order.
The Mode drop-down list allows a choice between Least Squares and Bowditch.
If Bowditch is selected, an Orientation drop-down list appears. Select Clockwise or Anti-

clockwise, depending on how the traverse was carried out.
Ensure the From and To columns are correctly configured and the appropriate observations have
the Active check box selected.
Click Next to calculate the traverse.
The Traverse window displays the calculated station values.

7.7 Tolerances

Click the Tolerances configuration button to set pass/fail criteria which will be used in the report.
Click Add then select the appropriate tolerance from the drop-down list. Enter a user-defined value
beside the selected tolerance.
Tolerances which can be set include:
• Min/Max X, Y, Z: defines the maximum and minimum coordinate values that would be accepted
in each axis after the survey calculations.
• X, Y, Z Range: defines the extents of the ranges of coordinate values that would be accepted in
each axis after the survey calculations.
• Max Residual: defines the maximum residual value that would produce a ‘pass’ result from a
resection calculation.
• Max Traverse Misclosure: specifies the maximum misclosure value that would produce a
‘pass’ result from a traverse calculation.

A filter is added in the Active Filters frame. Click the filter to select the type from the drop-down list.
The different filter types are outlined below.
Whichever filter is selected, the values which define the extent of filtering can be customised in the
Selected Filter Settings frame.
Multiple filters can be used simultaneously. Each filter will only be applied to the points visible in the
graphics display.
The filters are applied in the order in which they are listed in the Active Filters frame. The order
can be changed by clicking the up and down arrows beside each listed filter.
To delete a filter, click it in the Active Filters frame and then click the Remove button. Click the
Filter button to reset the data in the graphics view.
Decimation
A Decimation filter reduces the scan data by a user-defined percentage.
Enter the percentage of points to be filtered in the Value text box.
For example, if you enter ‘90’, 90% of points will be filtered, leaving 10% of points visible. The points
are filtered in order of the sequence in which they were captured.
Intensity
An Intensity filter reduces the scan data with reference to the intensity level of each point.
Ribbon menu –
Enter values for the Minimum Intensity and Maximum Intensity. All points with intensity values
outside this range will be filtered.
Data
Isolation 7-19
An Isolation filter removes points that are isolated from the rest of the dataset. This may help tidy
up single, stray or spurious points, for example points resulting from interference from the sun or
odd points captured from distant objects in the background of the main targeted scene.
Enter a value for the Isolation Distance: this is the range of the isolated points to their nearest
neighbour. Any point that is further away from its neighbours than the defined range will be filtered.
For example, if you enter a value of ‘1.5’, any point which is isolated by 1.5 m or more will be
filtered.
Range
A Range filter reduces the data with reference to the range of each point from the instrument
station from which it was observed. This may help to quickly remove data which has clearly
overshot the main targeted scene, or unwanted short range data where vehicles or people have
strayed across the path of the scan.
Enter values for the Minimum Range and Maximum Range. All points with range values outside
these ranges will be filtered.
Separation
A Separation filter reduces the data with reference to the proximity of each point to its neighbours
within a single scan. This is the most useful filter as it will reduce data more in the most densely
populated areas of a scan, while filtering fewer points in the more sparsely populated areas.
Enter a value for the Separation Distance. This is a minimum distance between adjacent points in
a single scan. Any points that have a neighbour closer than this defined distance will be filtered. For
example, if you enter a value of ‘0.1’, the data will be filtered in such a way that no two points in a
scan line will be left closer than 0.1 m from each other. In areas where the data is sparse, this will
mean that few, if any points, are filtered. In areas where the data is very dense, there may be very
high numbers of points that are filtered.
Note that there may still be points which are closer together than the user-defined separation
distance if the points are part of different scans within the project.

10 Project tree
The project tree lists all elements of the dataset that have been imported.
Project tree
The structure of the project tree will depend on the data which has been imported to the project,
and how the Code IDs in the data have been assigned.
10-1
The project tree view can be expanded or contracted as required by clicking the arrows that appear
to the left of some elements.
Some elements have functionality associated with them which can be accessed by right-clicking
the element.
Each element has a check box beside it. Select or clear the check box to activate or deactivate the
element in the project tree. This will toggle the data on and off in the graphics display.
Click the icon beside the element to focus the graphic display on the data represented by the
element.
Each element within the project tree is described below.
10.1 Project element

The Project element is located at the top of the project tree.
Use the Project check box or activate to deactivate all data within the project.
10.2 Face
The Face element represents a Face ID code used in the Quarryman Pro. This will usually be
linked to an instrument station: a Face ID will only change when the instrument is turned off and
moved to a new location. Note: on Renishaw-branded Quarryman Pro units, ‘Face ID’ is referred to
as ‘Station ID’.
All data collected from a single instrument station will be organised under the Face element.
Select or clear the Face check box to activate or deactivate all data observed from the Face.
Project tree
Right-click the Face element. The following options appear in the context menu:
• Perform resection
10-2 • Perform bearing and distance
• Observations
These options are outlined below.
10.2.1 Perform resection
Select Perform resection to compute a resection observed from the instrument station.
The Resection Wizard window appears. The window displays a table with a row for each
observation that has been coded as a resection observation.
The columns display:
• Horizontal angle: the raw value from the Quarryman.
• Vertical angle: the raw value from the Quarryman.
• Range: the raw value from the Quarryman.
• Code: lists the assigned value for the Code ID of each point.
• Station: a drop-down list gives a choice of all control stations available in the project.
• Check boxes: indicate whether the observation should be included in the resection
calculations.
For each observation that is to be included in the resection computation, select the control station
that you were observing to and select the relevant check box.
Click Next.
A visual representation of the resection appears, showing the three range circles around the three
control stations used in the calculation.
A cross at the intersection of the three circles illustrates the position of the newly calculated station.

10.2.2 Perform bearing and distance
Select Perform bearing and distance to compute the coordinates of a remote instrument station.
10-4
Note that if a range and bearing observation was taken from instrument station 01 to establish a
new instrument station 02, then you should right-click the Face or Scans elements of station 02 to
compute the coordinate: i.e. work from the new instrument station that the observations were taken
to, rather than on the instrument station that the observations were taken from.
The Bearing Distance Wizard window appears. The window displays a table with a row for each
observation that has been coded as a resection observation.
• Face#: the instrument station from which the observation was taken.
Click the observation you wish to use to carry out the calculation (there may have been multiple
observations taken).
Click Next to progress to the next screen.
The results of the bearing and distance calculation appear. These show the calculated X,Y,Z
position of the instrument.

Pro was pointing in when the horizontal encoder was zeroed) relative to the project’s Grid North.
The Reference Station drop-down list displays the control station that the Quarryman was
referenced to, if a station has already been selected.
The Instrument Height text box displays the instrument height that was entered in the field. You
can edit this value if required.
The Pitch slider allows adjustment of the tilt of the scan along the reference azimuth. This should
only be used if there are problems with the data due to issues encountered in the field, bad survey
practice or hardware problems. Where possible, if the data is not aligned correctly for any of these
reasons, it is advisable to repeat the survey.
The pitch value can be adjusted either by moving the slider or entering a value into the text box.
Click OK to close the Face window.
10.4 Scans

13 Notes on using the Quarryman Pro in the field with
Quarryman Viewer software
Use in the field

The Quarryman Pro has been designed to be extremely versatile and simple to use. The hardware
manual gives a broad overview of the recommended operational guidelines, together with a step-
by-step outline of a typical face profiling operation.
13-1
Below are some notes which are specific to projects where the Quarryman Viewer software is used.
Each location that the Quarryman Pro is set up at will have a unique two-digit Station ID. On older
Quarryman units, the Station ID is referred to as a Face ID. This Station ID can only be entered into
the instrument when it is first turned on. If an instrument location is re-occupied, the original Station
ID should again be entered into the instrument.
From each instrument station, codes are used to differentiate between different groupings of data
or different features that have been surveyed.
The codes that are used should be common across the whole project. For example, if a scan is
allocated a code 50 from station 01, then a scan from station 02 should also be coded 50.
If carrying out a traverse, the codes used for all backsight and foresight observations should be that
of the station being observed to.
Reference to
North
Station 01
Foresight
Station 02
Backsight
Station 03
Station 04
For example, for a four station traverse around a stockpile, the Station ID and Code IDs could be
arranged as below:
Use in the field
• Station 01
Referenced to North
Backsight to Station 04: code 04

13-2
Foresight to Station 02: code 02
Toe observations: code 20
Scan: code 50
• Station 02
Referenced to Station 01
Scan: code 50
• Station 03
Scan: code 50
• Station 04
Scan: code 50
Within Quarryman Viewer, coded datasets are assigned values when an FSC file is imported into
a project.
Use in the field

In this case the assignments would be:
• Codes 01 to 04 = To Station
• Code 20 = Toe
13-3
• Code 50 = Scan
The correct reference stations will also need to be selected in the Assign Stations table. In this
case:
• Station 01: referenced to North
• Station 02: referenced to station 01
As long as these codes and reference stations are applied correctly in the field and assigned
correctly when importing the FSC file into Quarryman Viewer, the processing of the traverse
should be automatic.
Click Traverse in the Data ribbon menu.

The Traverse window appears displaying data similar to that below.

Use in the field
13-4
All observations coded as To Station are displayed. Select Least Squares from the Mode drop-
down list. Ensure that all the information in the Reference, From and To columns is configured
correctly.
Clear the Active check box for any observations that should not be used in the traverse
computation.
Click Next to compute the traverse.
The computed coordinates and misclosures are displayed.
Click Done to complete the operation. The data is adjusted accordingly.
