13.2.8.4 Positions in Free Run Mode
Each data trace is plotted at the Station Interval currently set (13.3.3.3: p.103). In Free Run mode
the station interval is not fixed so each screen of data can represent any ground distance. This
means that the position values displayed in Section A at the top of the data image (13.2.3: p.79)
are not correct.
When running the system in Free Run mode it is best to set the Position Units (13.3.1.7: p.97) to
meters and the Station Interval (13.3.3.3: p.103) to a value of 1.0 meter. Then the position values
appearing on the top of the data image can be interpreted as trace numbers and not an absolute
position.
