1. Press the Favourites key.
2.
Within the page Setting, tab
Within the Point ID & Incrementation screen, you can define a default point ID for the
points measured with the levelling applications. You can also define the increment by
which the point IDs are automatically incremented.
PtID: Enter a point ID with 16 characters maximum. The point ID can consist of numeric
and alphanumeric characters. If the point ID ends with an alphanumeric character, the
suffix "01" is added automatically after returning to one of the levelling applications.
Incr: Enter an increment of maximum 9999. This input field is limited to four numeric
characters.
Indiv.PtID: Choose whether the individual point ID is to be applied once or perma-
nently.
• Use once: This is the default value. If selected, the individual point ID is only applied
once to the next point measured. To all following points, the next running point ID
and its defined incrementation are applied.
• Use permanent: If selected, the individual point ID and its defined incrementation
are applied permanently to all following points measured.

The Indiv.PtID: function is also available for surveying intermediate points.
Exception: the point ID of the first intermediate point is always "1001" by
default.
Sometimes it is necessary to measure special points within a line and designate them
with an individual point ID. To avoid retyping and incrementing the point ID manually
for each special point, use the Next indiv PtID function.
Step Description
1. In the Point ID & Incrementation menu, define a default point ID and incre-
mentation to be used for the next measurement task. Make sure that the
function Indiv.PtID: is set to Use once. Refer to "Define a Default Point ID and
Incrementation" (within "7.1.3 Point ID & Incrementation").
2. If not already done, assign the option Next indiv PtID to one of the user keys.
Refer to "6.1 Work Settings".
3. Open a levelling application and start measuring points. The defined default
point ID is applied to the measured points.
4. To apply an individual point ID, enter the desired ID into the Foresight Pt field
before measuring a special point.
The entered point ID is applied to the next point measured. To all following
points, the running point ID is applied again.
5. When measuring another special point, press the respective user key.
The previously entered individual point ID is automatically entered into the
Foresight Pt field and incremented. To all following points, the running point
ID is applied again.
6. Repeat the process as desired.
