The Settings Screen

The Settings screen is used to control all of the settings available for

your total station, data collector, current job, and Survey Pro

software.

Most of the settings remain unchanged unless you deliberately

change them, meaning the default settings are whatever they were
set to last. For example, if you create a new job where you change the

direction units from azimuths to bearings and then create another

new job, the default direction units for the new job will be bearings.

Survey Pro behaves in this way since most people use the same

settings for a majority of their jobs. This way, once the settings are

set, they become the default settings for all new jobs and current jobs.

Some settings are considered critical and are therefore stored within

the job. The following settings are stored within a job and will

override the corresponding settings in the Settings screen when it is
opened:

• Scale

• Earth Curvature On or Off – Surveying Settings Card
• Units for Survey Data (distances) – Units Settings Card
• North or South Azimuth – Units Settings Card
