B Tip
The following sections outline data collection.
Activating the laser interface
Within Data collection, the laser rangefinder interface can be activated
in one of two ways:
Automatically, if you preconfigured the Laser sensor’s
Auto-connect field to ‘Yes’.
Manually, using the softkey when logging data to a file. X
Checking the laser interface
You can also useXsoftkey to access the Select sensor menu to
reconfigure the laser rangefinder interface, or to check that the laser
and the Asset Surveyor software are communicating correctly, as
described above.
Recording an offset
Whenever you are collecting a point feature, you can use the Criterion
laser rangefinder to record an offset to the feature. You can record an
offset to a line, area, or quickmark feature only when you have pressed
theOsoftkey to display the offset entry form for that feature.
– You can turn off the Criterion when it is not being used to save its
battery (for example, when walking between features or when entering
attributes). The rangefinder can be used within seconds of turning it back
on.
