Surveying Settings
The Surveying Settings card allows you to select various options that
affect how data collection is performed.
; Prompt for Description : When checked, a prompt for
a description will appear before any new point is stored
from only the routines under the Survey menu (Page R-
113).
Note: Descriptions can be no longer than 16 characters.
; Prompt for Height of Rod : When checked, a prompt
for the rod height will appear before any new point is
stored.
; Prompt for Layer : When checked, a prompt to select
a layer will appear before any new point is stored from
only the routines under the Survey menu (Page R-113).
; 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 Survey menu (Page R-113). This
also requires that a feature file be selected from the Files Settings
card, described above.
; 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 Repetition Settings
screen are used in determining when two shots are at the same
location.
; Adjust for Earth Curvature / Refraction : when checked, the
elevations for new points are adjusted to compensate for the
curvature of the earth and refraction.
; 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 (see Page R-122).
