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.
