step-by-step

FlexLine plus, Data Management
1. Press Cont in the Import screen to proceed to the USB memory stick file directory.
2. Select the file or backup folder on the USB memory stick to be imported and press
Cont.
3. For a file: Define the Job name for the imported file, and, if requested, the file
definition and layers, and press Cont to import. If a Job with the same name
already exists in the internal memory, a message will appear with the options to
overwrite the existing job, attach the new points to the current job, or rename the
job for the file being imported.
If new points are attached to the current job, and the same point ID already exists,
the existing point ID will be renamed with a numerical suffix. For example,
PointID23 will be renamed to PointID23_1. The maximum renamed suffix is 10, e.g.
PointID23_10.
For a backup folder: Take note of the warning message displayed and press Cont
to proceed and import the folder.
4.
5. A message will display once the file or backup folder has been successfully
imported.
A '+', '-', '.' or alphanumerical characters should not be used as delimiter values in ASCII
files. These characters can also be part of the point ID or coordinate values and if so,
will generate errors where they occur in the ASCII file.
If the file is an ASCII file, the
Define ASCII Import screen will
appear. Define the delimiter
value, the units and the data
fields of the file and press Cont
to continue.
