Import Rangefinder Observation (Laser) Data

Files with the extension .pbj can contain ranging/laser data. Upon import, these observations are automatically assigned mapping quality. In the Project Explorer, a laser base is identified by an icon and a laser observation is identified with an icon.

Data Quality

The quality of the To point coordinates calculated from laser data depends, in order, on the quality of the:

  • Corresponding From points
  • Quality of the laser observations

The lowest quality of any of these determines the quality of the final To point.

Feature codes

Feature codes can be added to laser data within the Properties pane.
