- This dialog displays in the real time:
- X-Sect Sta - the position of the station, where the cross section must be surveyed;
- Along - the distance along the central line from the current position of the GNSS antenna to the X-Section Station;
- Station - the position of the station for the current position of the GNSS antenna;
- Left / Right - the distance of perpendicular to the central line from the current position of the GNSS antenna.
Specific cross-section survey features accessible from this dialog are also available:
-
- opens the Pole measurement dialog to create a point calculated as an offset from the point that was logged using a GNSS receiver. Taking pole-measured points is useful when you are unable to log them directly. The button is active after logging a point using a GNSS receiver.
- Ordered X-Section Segment - adds ordered segment flag in the raw data record for a point being logged. This special flag controls the order of cross-section segments in post-processing of some data export formats. Click
and select this command from the dialog menu to activate. When active, the green mark
is displayed near the command.
