routines under the
Prompt for Attributes: When checked, a prompt to select feature information will appear before any new point is
stored from only the routines under the
menu. This also requires that a feature file be selected from the
card.
Prompt for Picture: When checked, a prompt will appear before storing a point where you have the option of taking
one or more pictures associated with the current point. (Only available when running on a Nomad or a Ranger 3 with a
digital camera.)
Survey Map Use Enter Button for Topo: When checked, the enter key on the active survey map will take a topo
shot. When unchecked, the enter button on the active survey map will take a normal shot.
Detect Duplicate Shots: When checked, a prompt will appear before attempting to store a second shot to the same
location. This helps to catch when robotic total stations have lost lock while surveying. The distance tolerances set in
the
screen are used in determining when two shots are at the same location.
Survey with True Azimuths: Automates the process of adjusting the circle on the total station when traversing so that
you can survey with azimuths rather than horizontal angles.
Skip Check during Station Setup: Select this checkbox to skip the check during the station setup procedure.
Earth Curvature & Refraction: Allows you to select the earth curvature and refraction correction coefficient. Select
None to turn Earth Curvature & Refraction correction off.
Scale Factor Settings
The Scale Factor card shows you the current scale factor mode for scaling ground to grid distances.
[ Setup Scale …]: opens up the
screen where you can select the desired method to use for scaling
ground to grid distances.
Note: Scaling of ground to grid distances is usually only required when your coordinate system is set to some kind of
conformal mapping plane. For a simple plane survey using a flat earth model, where ground measured distances are
1:1 to coordinate grid distances, you should leave your scale factor turned off.
Scale Settings
[Job] [Settings] [Scale Factor] [Setup Scale]
The Scale Settings screen is the starting point for setting up a mapping grid scale factor. Once configured, you will
return to the Surveying Settings screen where you must then tap
to save the scale settings.
Do not use a scale factor: Disable any mapping plane scaling that is currently enabled.
Use a single combined scale factor: Uses a single combined scale factor that is provided for you, or one can be
computed with the
Use a grid factor with sea level correction: Uses a mapping plane scale factor that is adjusted for elevation changes.
Use automatic map plane grid factor with sea level correction: Uses a combined scale factor that is adjusted for
