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-
77).
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.
;
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-83).
; Adjust for Earth Curvature / Refraction : when checked, the
elevations for new points are adjusted to compensate for the
curvature of the earth and refraction.
;
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-77).
; 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-77). This also requires that
a feature file be selected from the Files Settings card, described
above.
;
Use Scale Factor : when checked, horizontal distances to all new
points will be scaled by the factor entered here. (Elevations are not
affected.) This defaults to unchecked when a new job is created.
