Start, Pause and Stop controls

In the Surveying and Implementation screens the ‘Start’, ‘Pause’, and ‘Stop’ buttons are used to control the beginning and ending of the relevant activities.

These buttons do have slightly different functions depending on when they are used.

Normal function:

During normal function these buttons will act in the following way.
‘Start’ will begin the system either surveying data or implementing a design. It will also start logging path counts (if enabled). The title of the button will reflect which action it will start.

‘Pause’ is only applicable to Surveying. The use of the pause button in surveying is to allow you to continue a path after moving around obstacles. For example surveying a drain, pressing the pause button and moving then the start button will tell the system that the same drain continues where you are.

‘Stop’ will stop the surveying of the area or the implementation of a design. Using the stop button in surveying tells the system that when you press start next it is a separate area. Using the same example as pausing, if surveying a drain pressing the stop button moving and then the start button will tell the system that this is a new separate drain.

Drain Surveying function:

The ‘Start’ ‘Pause’, and ‘Stop’ buttons will change function slightly when the software is set to survey drains.

‘Start’ will start the system surveying a drain.

‘Stop’ will end the current drain survey. Pressing ‘Start’ after this will start a new drain.

Pausing collection is designed to allow for situations where the collecting vehicle cannot physically traverse a section of drain line.
