The Settings Screen
The Settings screen is used to control all of the settings available for
your surveying instrument, current job, and Survey Pro software. It
contains several index card-style tabs. Each card contains different
types of settings.
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 Factor – Surveying Settings Card
• Earth Curvature On or Off – Surveying Settings Card
• Units for Survey Data (distances) – Units Settings Card
• North or South Azimuth – Units Settings Card
• Angle Units – Units Settings Card
You can change to other Settings screens by tapping the appropriate
tab at the bottom of the screen. If the tab is not in view, tap the
buttons to scroll through all the available tabs.
Consult the Reference Manual for an explanation of each field on
every Settings screen.
