This can make it easier to reference if CP points have distance values. To use
Chainage rather than distance, use the chainage key as shown below.
NOTE: We may freely switch between CHAINAGE and DISTANCE. When we enter a distance,
the chainage is automatically stored (it is displayed on the attenuation display).
The chainage start point is used to start a new survey. This point does not have
to be zero. As an example, consider a survey of four points. The first point is at
CP marker 10 which has a distance marker of 3678m (3.678km) and the last
point is at CP marker 11 which has a distance marker of 3978m (3.978km). The
two intermediate points are 100m apart.

#02 - - 100 3878
#03 11 3978 - 3978
Point #00 is entered as a chainage start point with a value of 3678m
Points #01 and #02 are entered as distance from previous point as 100m
Point #03 is entered as chainage 3978m.
