Feature Collection
Use this method if you want to continuously collect multiple points
using either a measurement interval or by manually accepting each
point. You can select from six different data collection modes.
1. Go to the Survey > Data Collection screen.
2. Enter a point name in the Point field. If this point already exists,
you will be prompted to overwrite or choose the next available
point.
Note: If you have Store GPS Raw Data set to + Bl,CV or + Bl,CV + Rx
Raw,
feature collection will not store base line records because there
is no discrete site occupation of each point. Therefore, the point name
does not need to be a valid Site Id.
3. Enter a Description.
Note: For continuous data collection (except Manual: multi
descriptions
), once the first point is accepted, all additional points will
be stored with the same description, layer, and attributes. When
using Manual: multi descriptions mode, you will be prompted for
description, layer, and attributes (if set) after every point.
4. Tap Feature. On the Feature Collection screen, select a Method.
An explanation of the selected method is displayed at the bottom
of the screen. See the Reference Manual for more information.
5. If you select a continuous method, or the Hold Still method, you
must specify an appropriate Interval.
6. Tap Start to begin measurements. The Occupy Data Points screen
displays the local coordinate.
7. When you are ready to begin continuous collection, tap Topo SS.
8. If you are using a continuous interval, Accept disappears and
points are stored when the interval is exceeded.
