Opening A Description File - Tripod Data Systems SURVEY PRO User Manual

• Description codes are case sensitive.
• The description is limited to 16 characters.
• Descriptions can include any character included on a
keyboard.
To use a description from a description file with codes simply type the
code associated with the desired description in any Description field.
As soon as soon as the cursor moves out of the Description field, the
code is replaced with the corresponding description. For example, if
you typed PC in a description field while using the description file
shown above, PC would be replaced with PROPERTY CORNER once
the cursor was moved to another field.
You can combine a description with any other text, or combine two
descriptions by using an ampersand (&). For example, entering
NB&PC would result in a description of NEW BACKSIGHT
PROPERTY CORNER. This method also works when spaces are
included with an ampersand. For example, entering NB&PC would
have the same result as entering NB & PC.
