The first page of the Survey Location Tool displays a list of all the surveys and stations in the cave.
Survey List. The list in the upper part of the window shows a list of all the surveys in the cave. If you click-on any survey in the list, the corresponding survey will be highlighted in the cave. This allows you to locate the position of any survey in the cave. Also, whenever a survey is selected, all the stations in that survey are displayed on the bottom of the page in the stations sections.
List Items. The list also shows the date and the comment associated with of each survey. If the survey name, date or comment is too large for the column, you can drag the border of the heading of the column to make it bigger or smaller.
Options. There are several options that allow you to find, focus on and utilize the survey information. Here are detailed descriptions of each option:
Station List. The bottom half of the window displays a list of the stations in the current survey. This list tracks the survey selected in the upper half of the window and displays the stations in that survey.
Station Name and Distance. The list displays a list of the stations in current survey. It also displays the distance from the entrance for that station. (Note this value is not the straight-line distance, but the distance required to walk through all the surveys to reach the station. The statistic is based on the route that was first used to get to the station. It ignores any more recently surveyed short cuts.)
The Cursor. One of the stations in the list will be highlighted. If you have used the Identifying Surveys By Cursor option, the highlighted station will be the station closest to the cursor. You can also highlight a station by clicking-on the station name in the list. This will cause the cursor to move to the location of station in the cave. This way you can locate the exact position of any survey station.
Viewing Stations In Other Surveys. The list only displays the stations from one survey. Normally, the list will only display stations from the survey selected on the Survey Page (page one.) You can also View or locate any station in the whole cave.
Paging Through Survey Stations. You can view the stations from other surveys by clicking-on the “Change Survey” buttons on the right. Clicking-on the up-arrow will take you to the previous survey and clicking-on the down-arrow will take you to the next survey.
Options. There are several options that allow you to find, focus on and utilize the station information. Here are detailed descriptions of each option:
