Uploading control points, whether fixed or not, will always
overwrite the complete list of control points currently available
in the ProMark3. This means for example that there won’t be
any control points left in the ProMark3 if the selection of
points you wish to upload does not include a single fixed con
-
trol point.
As a general rule, you should therefore upload all the control
points and waypoints you need through a single upload oper
-
ation.
The names of the uploaded points will be truncated to 4 char-
acters for control points and 8 characters for waypoints. Con-
sequently, make sure the points you select will keep different
names after truncation or rename those points that would oth
-
erwise have similar names after truncation.
Finally, you can choose whether the points you upload as way-
points will add up to the list of existing waypoints or will re-
place this list (at one step during the uploading, you will have
to check or clear the Erase existing waypoints option).
Assuming the ProMark3 unit is connected to the PC via USB
(or RS232), it has been turned on and you have double-
tapped the Surveying icon, do the following on PC side:
- Launch GNSS Solutions and then open the project con-
taining the control points you want to upload to ProMark3.
- Select the control points you want to upload (select them
on the Survey View or on the Points tab in the workbook).
