The Feature Collection screen is used to partially automate the
process of data collection. It is useful when collecting data for groups
of points that describe the same feature.
Note: If you hotkey to another screen while using the Feature
Collection routine, the Feature Collection screen will be suspended
until you return to it.
Points to be Stored : displays the starting point
name and description of the group of points to be
stored.
Method : is where you select the method of
continuous data collection. The available methods
are described below:
•
Cts. by time : After accepting the first point,
additional points will automatically be
stored after the specified time (in seconds)
has elapsed. Each successive point name is
incremented to the next available name.
When you are finished collecting points, tap
'RQH.
•
Cts. by dist 2D / 3D : After accepting the first point,
additional points will automatically be stored after traveling
the specified horizontal or 3D distance. Each successive point
name is incremented to the next available name. When you
are finished collecting points, tap

you will remain in the Occupy Data Points screen where
additional points can be store with successive point names
and the same descriptor.

the Manual routine, above, except you are prompted for a new
description with each point stored.
