To measure points in Measure codes

Use the steps below to enable fast and efficient collection of multiple points using Measure codes:

1. Tap and select Measure / Measure codes.
2. If you have not already started the survey, start the survey. If you are using a conventional survey, put the instrument in tracking mode.
3. To measure the first point:

   1. Select the code group from the list or press A–Z to quickly switch to group pages 1–26.

      You cannot use alphanumeric key shortcuts if the Multi-code button at the bottom of the form is enabled.

   2. To start measuring the point, tap the appropriate code button.

      You can also select code buttons using the keypad. If the button layout has three columns you can press the numeric key that corresponds to the code button, or use the arrow keys to navigate to the button and then press the Space key.

      If Single tap to measure is not enabled, you must double-tap the code button to start measuring.

   3. In the Measure topo or Measure point screen, measure and store the point.

      To change the auto store settings, in the Measure topo screen tap Options and then clear the View before storage check box or in the Measure point screen tap Options and then select the Auto store point check box.

      Once the measurement is stored, the Measure codes form appears, ready for the next measurement.

   4. To configure the software to start measuring the point as soon as you tap the code button in the Measure codes form, tap Options and select the Auto measure check box.

4. To measure subsequent points using the same code, tap the same code button again or press the Enter key.

   If the feature type for the code is a line or polygon, the line or polygon is drawn on the map as you measure subsequent points using the same feature code.

5. To measure points using a different code, tap the required code button in the Measure codes screen.
