Location Engine.

The Reader Configuration window will report either ―Units are feet‖ or ―Units are Meters‖. Check
that this is consistent with the survey data you are entering. Enter the X, Y, and Z coordinates for
each Reader. As you enter the survey data, the icons showing Reader locations will appear in the
MapView display. Check that all Readers appear in the correct location.
