TPS page
The page allows to define how the automatic measurement is performed.
Distance tolerance: maximum horizontal distance between current position and the position of the point to measure. If the distance between the current position and the position measured is more than the tolerance, the software notifies. The tolerance for each point can also be customized individually.
Elevation tolerance: maximum acceptable difference between the current elevation and the elevation of the point to measure. If the difference of elevation is more than the tolerance, the software notifies. The tolerance for each point can also be customized individually.
Save measurements on external files: save data to a file other than the job file to avoid that too much data is saved to the current job. This is recommended to be enabled in case the session will be done for long time measuring multiple targets.
Session number: sets the session ID number.
