When the kit is mounted on a vehicle for faster data acquisition, for example spot levels across sand flats, it is not practical to MEAS every point by pressing F1.

Instead, go into Survey, press the SHIFT button, then F2 CONF to access SURVEY Configuration. Set the ‘Log Auto Pts’ to Yes, and configure as appropriate.

Configuring Auto Points

Main Menu:

Survey.

Press the SHIFT button, then F2 CONF to access SURVEY Configuration.

 

File (Pts Only)

Logs auto point to a measurement file (this is the same as a DBX job, found in the DBX folder). Point logging at up to 20 Hz. Coding and logging of offset points is not possible. Points cannot be displayed in MapView or output via format files – you must Import Raw data into LGO as seen below, then export a CSV or DXF from there.

At 60mph you will get a point every 1.34m!

 

DBX (Pnts & Codes)

Logs auto points to the DBX. Point logging at up to 1 Hz. Coding and logging of offset points is possible. Points can be displayed in MapView or output via format files.
