2. Logging and Describing a Point Feature
- Choose the type of feature you want to log from this
list. You can tell by the name of this feature whether it
is a point feature, a line feature or an area feature.
- Tap a point feature (you are supposed to be near one of
these features) and tap the on-screen Log button. This
starts feature logging. A sound is heard every time
ProMark3 logs data.
The Logging screen is now displayed where you can
see the list of attributes pertaining to this feature. You
will now enter the “Description” phase of the feature.
- Tap the first attribute and enter the right attribute
value describing the feature near you. This takes you
back to the Logging screen.
- Highlight the next attribute in the list and repeat the
previous step. Repeat this step until all the attributes
have been properly described.
“Describing” the feature only takes a few seconds. By
the time you are done with the feature description, the
feature’s GPS position will have been saved in the job.
You can also stay more time on the feature to let the
receiver determine several positions. This will give an
even more accurate position for the feature as
ProMark3 will average all the GPS positions it has
computed on the feature.
- To stop logging the feature, tap Done. This takes you
back to the Feature List screen
- Move to the next feature and resume the above
instructions to log this feature.
ProMark3 uses a fixed,
time-based logging inter-
val (1 second) when you
log a point feature. The
logging interval parameter
cannot be accessed when
you log a point feature.
Logging screen
The Logging screen also
displays the time elapsed
since you started logging at
this point feature, the
number of satellites cur-
rently received and the cur-
rent value of PDOP (see
also page 107).
If you start logging a new
feature and you realize this
is a mistake, then you can
delete the new feature
being logged by tapping
the Options button and
selecting Delete <feature
name>.
Deleting features only
applies to new features
being logged, not to fea-
tures already logged.
