To measure points along the as-built pipeline

To be able to view and edit joint details for features measured along the pipeline, you must use the Measure pipeline point function and then select a feature code that has joint ID attributes linked to the tally file.

1. In the map, tap Measure. Alernatively, tap and select Measure / Measure pipeline points.

2. Enter the measurement details for the point:
   1. Enter the Point name.

   2. Enter the Code for the point.

      To see Putkistot measurement features such as cover calculation, joint and attribute details, and to store computed values as attributes, you must select an appropriate code from the list. The Putkistot software can only provide joint linking to the tally file from the first code in a Code field. Attributes on any secondary codes in the Code field will not be available.

   3. Select the measurement method and then enter either the antenna details or the target details.

   4. When you are ready to record the position, tap Measure.

   5. When the preset occupation time and precisions have been reached, tap Store.

      If the Compute cover check box is selected in the Pipeline options screen, the Compute pipe cover screen appears. See Automatic depth of cover calculations.

      If you have not already entered the attribute details using the Attrib soft key then the Attributes screen appears.

3. Fill out the attributes for the point:

   1. If you are measuring a weld, enter the weld or x-ray ID for the weld you are measuring.

      If you have selected attributes to store the Depth of cover, Station, or Offset values calculated during the point measurement, these attributes are displayed with their values automatically filled out.

      The fields for the joint behind and the joint ahead are automatically filled out.

   2. To check the details of the joint, tap Details. See To update joint details.

   3. Fill out any other attribute information for the point you are measuring, as required.

      If an attribute is a photo attribute, capture the required image using your controller or the connected camera. See To add images to the tally or measured pipeline points.

   4. To select the default attribute behavior, tap Options. Choose from Last used or From library.

4. To save the point, tap Store.

   When measuring welds, a message warns if the length of a joint recorded in the tally is not the same as the distance computed between two measured welds. See Automatic distance between pipeline point calculations.
