5 Data Management
Creating and opening a work order in the field
From the Home menu, tap Site. After starting the software, you can select a site and work order to
start with:
For each of these options, you can either decide to open an existing site, design, and work order, or
create a new one. The New option opens a screen with a number of fields where you can define the
settings and add data files from a USB drive or from data already stored on the controller.
CAUTION – Before taking a measurement or associating a design with the site, ensure that the distance units are
correctly set. All files that relate to a single site must be stored and operated with the same units. Once a
measurement is taken, or a design is selected, you cannot change the units.
When creating a site on the controller, you can import or measure a site calibration or use a
published coordinate system from the coordinate system manager. After you select the Select
coordinate system option and tap Select coordinate system, the software will list all supported
coordinate systems.
