Closure by Point Numbers
Function
This command allows for traverse entry by point
numbers, and it reports the closure. The traverse can be processed
using all adjustment routines. Using an existing coordinate file, you
have the ability to enter in individual points, a
range of points or a point group. Refer to the Edit-Process Raw
Data File command for more detail on adjustment procedures. After
selecting
Closure By Point Numbers from the Survey menu, the Closure By
Point Numbers dialog will appear.
In this dialog shown above, add the point
numbers that make up the traverse. This can be done by
entering the point number, a range of points, or a point group into the
Point Number(s) field. You can also choose points from a list by
clicking the List button. Once each point, or group of points, is
chosen, click the Add button. Continue in this fashion until all of the
point numbers are entered
in. Clicking the Process button will display the Choose
Process Method dialog. Choose the desired process method.
After selecting
the process method for any of the adjustment methods, the dialogs and
prompts will follow. They all start out with an "options" dialog box.
These dialogs are titled either Process Options or Closure Options,
depending on which process method you chose. The prompts that follow
for any of the methods are are subset of, and are very similar to, the
prompting found in the Edit-Process Raw Data File command.
After you have made your selections within these dialog boxes, click OK.

Each of the process methods will display a report
that details the closure before the adjustment, and after the
adjustment. Options to save and print this report are available.
After a review of the report, pressing Exit will remove the report
from the screen. At this point a Process Results dialog,
prompting whether to Update points in CRD file with adjusted
coordinates, will appear. If you choose Yes, the active coordinate
(.CRD)
file will be updated with the adjusted coordinates. Choosing No will
leave the active coordinate
(.CRD) file in its existing state, with the coordinates unchanged. It
is
important to remember that the
starting and ending point in this routine must be a different point
number. For example, if the traverse
starts at point 1 and ends at point 1, then another point number should
be used for the tie in shot to
point 1. This logic is different in Edit-Process Raw Data File,
where the starting and ending point can be the same point number.
