Enter saves the measurement immediately. If you do a Read, you can review the data within the Text view. If you

re-enter the rod height, it re-calculates the Z elevation of the measured point. As you enter the description, a pulldown

appears of your Feature Code List or previously entered descriptions. As each letter is entered, such as "e" for edge of

pavement, every description beginning with "e" or "E" appears, enabling quick selections. Some users prefer the text

screen to take readings because of the larger buttons and text size. The program remains in the Text mode until Graphic

mode is chosen again.

Unless the rod hgt/description prompt is enabled, the Store Points screen is designed to “quick-store” points, where

the user is expected to enter, ahead of time, the correct description and rod heights in the edit boxes shown at the bottom

of the dialog.
