J.2.3 Using the Criterion to Record Heights
You can use the configured external sensor interface together with a
Criterion 300 to record heights as attributes, by following this
procedure:
1. Create a new rover data file.
When the Asset Surveyor software opens this file, it
automatically activates the pre-configured external sensor
interface (as the Auto-connect field was set to ‘Yes’ in the
previous section).
The Asset Surveyor software can now communicate with the
Criterion 300 rangefinder and you can begin to record heights.
2. Start a feature.
One of your feature’s attributes has the name Height, anditis
this attribute which is used to store heights recorded by the
Criterion 300.
3. Enter attribute values for the feature while the Asset Surveyor
software logs GPS positions.
It is usually easiest to manually enter attributes before taking a
recording with an external sensor. By following a set procedure
like this you are less likely to forget to record or enter a
particular piece of information.
4. Follow the procedure described in the Criterion 300/400
Operator’s Guide for recording a height with the Criterion 300.
