[Therion] Pocket Topo Shot Direction question

[Beat Heeb]

Hi Footleg

 

The command has two meanings depending on what kind of data it is used:

If used on a simple measurement from the current station (7.7 -> , if the current station is 7.7),

it turns the measurement into a survey shot using the next station name (7.7 -> 7.8).

If used on a survey shot (7.7 -> 7.8) it swaps the station names (to 7.8 -> 7.7). This reverses the

direction of the shot.

The direction shown in the menu (Shot -> or Shot <-) indicates the new direction used. It depends

on the ‘Reverse’ option when used on a simple measurement and on the current direction

when used on a shot.

 

So it is used 1) to turn a measurement into a shot if you do not want to make three measurements

for some reason, and 2) if you occasionally measure a shot in the non-standard direction and quickly

want to fix it.

 

Regards

Can anyone tell me what the purpose/use is of the menu item in PocketTopo on the data screen which says either 'Shot ->' or 'Shot <-' ?

I see it set to one or the other on my shots depending whether they were forward or back shots. But then the shots direction is still indicated primarily by the station names in the From and To columns. So I am not clear what this menu item does or when I might want or need to use it?
