• A description can contain any characters included on a
keyboard.
• Descriptions do not need to be arranged in alphabetical order.
(Survey Pro does that for you.)
• Descriptions are not case sensitive.
To use a description from a description file,
simply start typing that description in any
Description
field. (You can experiment with
descriptions in the . Survey ,
Traverse / Sideshot screen.) Once you start
typing a description, a dropdown list will
appear displaying all of the descriptions in the
descriptor file along with all the descriptors
that have been used in the current job in
alphabetical order. If the first letter(s) that
you typed match the first letters of a
description in the descriptor file, that
description will automatically be selected in the dropdown list. Once
it is selected, you can have that description replace what you have
typed by pressing [Enter] on the keypad. You can also use the arrow
keys to scroll through the dropdown list to make an alternate
selection.
Description Files with Codes
A description file that uses codes is similar to those
without codes, except a code precedes each description
in the file. A sample description file with codes is
shown here.
The following rules apply to description files that use
codes:
• Each line in a description file begins with a code, followed by
a single space, and then the description.
• A description code can consist of up to seven characters with
no spaces.
