Opening SurvNET

Entry into the SurvNet program is easy. It can be accessed in two different ways. The easiest way to start the program is to select SurvNet from the Survey menu. The other method is to start SurvNet from within the Raw Data File editor. To bring up the Raw Data File editor select Edit-Process Raw Data File from the Survey menu (see below).

To access SurvNET from within the Carlson Raw Data Editor choose the Process (Compute Pts) menu then the SurvNET menu item (see below).

The SurvNet Start-up dialog is displayed when SurvNet is first started (see below). SurvNet is a project based program. Before performing a least squares adjustment an existing project must be opened or a new project created. This opening dialog box allows the user to open or create a project on start-up. You also can create or open a project from the Files menu. Since all project management functions can be performed from the Files menu you need not use the start-up dialog except as a convenience. If you do not wish to see the Start-up dialog when you start SurvNET, uncheck the Show this dialog box on start-up checkbox then click the Cancel button.
