Units
To set different units and precisions for how MAGNET Field will display
various numerical values in dialogs.
On the Distance tab, select as required:
-
Distance unit for any length values. That can be Meters; IFeet - (1 International ft = 0.3048 m); US Feet (1 US survey ft = 1200/3937 m); IFeet and Inches, US Feet and Inches (the latter two are calculated by taking into account that 1 ft = 12 in), IChains (1 International ch = 66 International ft) or US Chains (1 US survey ch = 66 US survey ft).
Note: If the selected units are US feet, linear values can be entered as meters or international feet by appending "m" or "if" to the entered value. If the selected units are in meters, then a linear value in US feet or international feet can be entered by appending "f" or "if" to the end of the entered value. If the selected units are in international feet, linear values can be entered as meters or US feet by appending "m" or "f" to the entered value. The appended characters "m", "f", or "if" are case insensitive. In other words, enter "M", "F", or "IF".
Note: When using IFeet and Inches or US Feet and Inches the following format is observed: f.iix, where f is feet, ii is inches and x is 1/8th of an inch.
- Distance precision for the number of decimal places in length values. To display only integers, select "0" . To display 4 decimal places, select "0.1234".
- Area unit for area values. That can be Sq. Meters, Sq. IFeet, or Sq. USFeet.
- Volume unit for volume values. That can be Cubic Meters, Cubic IFeet, Cubic USFeet, Cubic IYards, or Cubic USYards.
On the Angle tab, select as required:
- Meas angle unit for values of the measured values. That can be DMS, represented as ddd mm ss.sss (the full circle contains 360 degrees), DD.ddddd decimal degrees format, Grads (Gons) - the full circle contains 400 grads (gons), or Mils (1 Mil = 1 Milliradian = 1/1000 of a Radian).
Note: Azimuth can be entered as two points separated by "-", "," or ";". Specific angles can be entered as three points separated by "-", "," or ";". For instance a value of 100-101 indicates the Azimuth from Point 100 to Point 101.
- Meas angle precision for the number of decimal places in angular values. To display only integers, select "0" . To display 4 decimal places, select "0.1234".
- Calc angle unit for angular values in Calculation tasks. In addition to Angle unit settings, that also can be Radians (the full circle contains 2*PI radians); or Mils (1 Mil = 1 Milliradian = 1/1000 of a Radian).
- Calc angle precision for the number of decimal places in angular values in Calculation tasks. To display only integers, select "0" . To display 4 decimal places, select "0.1234".
On the Coordinate tab, select as required:
- Northing/Easting precision for the number of decimal places in Northing/Easting coordinates. To display only integers, select "0" . To display 4 decimal places, select "0.1234".
- Lat/Lon units for the specifying of Latitude and Longitude coordinates format.
- Lat/Lon precision for the number of decimal places in latitude / longitude seconds.
- Height precision for the number of decimal places in ellipsoidal heights and elevations. To display only integers, select "0" . To display 4 decimal places, select "0.1234".
On the Other tab, select if necessary:
- Temperature unit only for the raw measurements. That can be Celsius (C) or Fahrenheit (F).
- Pressure unit only for the raw measurements. That can be mmHg, hPa, inHg or mbar.
