Select Total Station dialog

This dialog appears, if you do the following:

• Select either the Data Collector or the Data Receiver module in the Tree view. The categories and settings of the General Settings tab appear in the Properties view. Set the focus onto the Selected total station setting and click the browse button.

List field

The dialog displays a list of all points for which the following applies:

• Information for the point is currently available in the system-wide point list.
• The point type is Total station.
• The prefix part of their identification is identical to the mission name.

The points appear in alphabetical order, displayed as <Automatically added prefix>_<Point name>. Trimble 4D Control Server always automatically adds one of the following information as prefix to the point name specified as the Point name property:

• The mission name, when adding points for real-time applications (Data Collector module).
• The configuration name, when importing points from JobXML files for post-processing (Terrestrial Engine PP module).

For example, the point with point name 5 established in the Test1 Terrestrial Engine PP module configuration appears as Test1_5, while the point with point name 5 established in a real-time total station setup at the MissionA mission appears as MissionA_5. Thus, points with equal point names in different configurations and setups can be easily distinguished. This is especially helpful, if total station measurements are automatically numbered consecutively (1, 2, 3, and so forth).

The icon indicates a point where the total station has been located.

You may remove a list item from here if it is no longer needed.

Point Information category

This category is used for all point information used to identify the point.

Grid Coordinate category

The settings at the Local Coordinate category display the local coordinates of the point. Positions are shown as local grid coordinates Northing, Easting and Elevation based on the selected Coordinate System. If a coordinate has not been measured yet, its value is Unknown. If you want your coordinates to be re-computed by another site setup make sure that the coordinates are set to Unknown.

Tip - Make sure that any imported coordinates are also based on the selected Coordinate System.

Operator Information category

Additional point information include the name of the agency (Agency) and the name of the operator in charge of the point (Observer). The default values are derived from the System Properties dialog.

Multiple selection

Multiple selections let you assign an identical value to all or several items. Use the Ctrl or Shift keyboard keys to select the items in the list field, edit the value that is to be applied to all selected points and click OK. The drop-down field above the Point Information category shows you how many points are selected.
