Save the Localization File
Once all of the points have been added to the localization dialog, save the localization file before exiting using the Save
button.
Reprocess Raw File and Update Coordinates
At this point all of the coordinates in the CRD file that represent the measured positions need to be updated to reflect the
newly created localization. To do this, select COGO Process Raw File and process the raw file through the
localization file. This will update the previously measured GPS points. Verify that the positions look valid by viewing
the points in File List Points. You should be able to compare the known and measured positions to see if they look
right. Depending on the localization method, the measured values may not be exactly the same as the original known
positions due to error that may have existed in the original positions.
Additional GPS Measurements
Once the localization is defined, all of the GPS points measured after its creation will be recorded to the CRD file based
on this localization.
Changing the Localization
If the user determines that they want to redefine the current localization during a job, they must reprocess the entire raw
file after making any changes to the localization file. It may be prudent to simply define a new localization file from
scratch, leaving the original intact, and reprocess the raw file through this new localization file. Just remember that the
last localization loaded, will be the current localization.
