Title: Multi-Times EDM Measurements Conflict SurvCE
Created: 2005-02-23Last modified: 2005-02-23
Some total stations allow the user to set the "N-times" measurement setting to multiple.  Perhaps a user wants to turn set collection and would like the instruments EDM to measure 3 times and provide the average measurement to the data collector.

A conflict exists if the instrument is set to multiple shots.  The correct way to accomplish multiple EDM shots averaged is to set SurvCE to average.  The common example we hear is when a user wants to turn 3 sets and 3 measurements to each part of that set.  They have the instrument set to 3 times measurement.  This causes missed data and failed shots.

DO NOT SET YOUR INSTRUMENT TO MULTIPLE TIMES MEASUREMENT.  SET SURVCE TO MULTIPLE SHOTS.
