BENCH window

The arbitrary starting Cartesian coordinates for the bench location.  When a new field is opened, the default coordinates are loaded. 

These can be manually changed as necessary.

    Sets the current location to the coordinates set in the origin.  This button will be disabled when PDOP is above the user limit, or the minimum fix type is not achieved. [ALT+S]

    Exit the bench window.  This DOES NOT SET A NEW BENCH. [ALT+F]

    Opens a save window to save the current location (X, Y, Z) for future use as a bench location. [ALT+V]

    Opens a load window, to use a saved bench location.  Upon loading, the saved location will be loaded into the default origin coordinates.  [ALT+L]

A description of the bench location.  Must be complete or a bench cannot be set.

This displays the current lat / long / elev.  Useful if you need to see this information, at any time.

 

In cases where the receiver must be mobilized from it's mounted position, autobench allows the operator to physically move the receiver to the desired benchmark location.  Once the specified seconds time out, a bench is automatically set.  [ALT+A]

 

Warning:  The receiver MUST be the same distance above the ground surface at the bench location, as it is in its standard (vehicle) mounted position in order for elevations to be relative!
