Using Rectangular Precise Grid and Polygonal Precise Gridstep-by-step
Preparation
- Connect the instrument to the iCON field software.
- Set up the instrument.
- Go to the desired application in iCON.
Scanning process
- In the current application, select Grid & Scan from the toolbox.
- Tap the desired method to start the wizard for this method.
- Level the instrument. Tap next wizard step
to proceed. Map view is displayed. 
- Define the scan area depending on the selected method. Follow the instructions on this screen.
• Rectangular Precise Grid: Select or measure two points to define the upper left and lower right corner of the rectangular area. To swap the orientation of the rectangular area, tap
.
• Polygonal Precise Grid: Select or measure at least three points to define a polygonal
area.
To clear the defined scan area, tap
Tap next wizard step 
to proceed.
- Use the toolbar to define the scan grid and the spacing of scan points on this grid.
• To define the distance between scan points on the grid lines, tap
and enter the desired value.
• To define the distance between grid rows, tap
and enter the desired value.
• To define the distance between grid columns, tap
and enter the desired value.
The grid preview is updated according to the entered values. The software calculates the number of points to be scanned and the estimated scanning time and displays them in the info panel.
To cancel the process, tap
To accept the defined grid and continue with the next wizard step, tap
If desired, you can edit the file name of the scan data, enter a description and define the symbol for the scan points. Tap next wizard step 
to proceed.
↪ To assign a code to the scan points, tap Code. If necessary, adapt the Measure bar to display Code.
7. To start the scanning process, tap Start. 
↪ To pause the scanning process, tap Pause
↪ To cancel the scanning process, tap Pause, then tap 
.
↪ If the connected instrument becomes unlevelled during scanning, an error message is displayed.
Level the instrument and tap 
to restart the scanning process, beginning at the first defined scan point. 
8. Tap 
to finish the scanning process.
↪ The generated point grid can be used to verify data in the Verification application. Refer to 9.3 How to Use Verification.
