• When Survey Pro finds a unique point in the job file

that matches the base location, the Select Base Point

page shows you the name of the base point found.

• When Survey Pro finds more than one point in the job

file that matches the base location, the Select Base

Point page has a drop down list of possible matches
for you to choose from.

Note: When one or more matching points are found in the job
file, you can revert to the new or existing point user interface
by tapping Change on the Select Base Point screen.

Finish to complete receiver setup and go to the data

collection screen. You are now ready to begin surveying.

7. If the coordinate system requires a localization, tap

of pages for solving a localization, described below.

Solving a Localization

Before you can start collecting data in a conventional survey,

you must establish the location of the instrument and orient

the setup to your coordinate grid. If you setup on a known
point, you need to backsight one additional point in order to

orient the setup. Alternatively, if you setup on a new
unknown point, you need to solve a resection from multiple

control points in order to calculate the location of the

instrument and then orient the setup.
