Instruction Manual

Prompt for Layer: When checked, a prompt to select a layer will appear before any new point is stored from any

routine other than those included in the Survey and Stakeout menus.

Prompt for Attributes: When checked, a prompt to select feature information will appear before any new point is

stored from any routine other than those included in the Survey and Stakeout menus. This also requires that a feature

file be selected from the Files Settings

card, described earlier.

Prompt for Picture: When checked, a prompt will appear before storing a point where you have the option of taking

one or more pictures associated with the current point. (Only available when running on a Nomad or a Ranger 3 with a

digital camera.)

Prompt to Backup When Closing Job: When checked, you will be reminded to backup the current job prior to

closing it.

Prompt for Elevation of 2D Cogo Points: When checked, a majority of the COGO routines will prompt you for an

elevation before storing a 2D point. When unchecked, 2D points will be stored without the prompt.

Always Use ALL CAPS in Edit Fields: When checked, characters will always be entered using capital letters in edit

fields, regardless of the keyboard setting.

Log Serial Port Traffic: When checked, all serial port traffic will be logged to a text file called TDS-Log.txt for

troubleshooting purposes and is stored in the Jobs folder. The file is automatically overwritten when logging traffic on

a date that is different from the previous date.

Use Smart Soft Input Panel Activation: When checked, the SIP will automatically open when the cursor is inside an

input field and close when the cursor is moved outside an input field. (Not available on Ranger data collectors.)

Edit Points

[Job] [Edit Points]

The Edit Points

screen allows you to add, edit, and delete any points in the current job.

[Edit…]: If only a single point is selected, this will open the point in the Edit Point Screen

where the details of the

point can be modified. If more than one point is selected, the Edit Points Screen

will open where the description, layer,

and elevation for the selected points can be modified simultaneously.

Note: Multiple points can be selected by tapping the first point in a range, then tap the shift key from a soft input

panel, and lastly tap the last point in the point range. Individual points in a point range can be selected/unselected by

tapping the control key from a soft input panel and then tapping the desired points.

Note: Double tapping on a point will open that point in the editor.

[Insert…]: Opens a screen where a new point can be added.

[Delete…]: Delete the selected point.

[Find…]: Search for a point by its description.

[Find Next]: Find the next point that contains the description entered when using the [Find…] button.

[Go To…]: Opens a dialog box where any point can be quickly located by the entered point name.
