Unit settings

To change the units and formats for numerical values for the job, in the Create job or Edit job screen, expand the Units section. In the Unit System field, select the unit system. This sets default units for the other unit settings.

Change the other fields as required. The following settings are available.

Units

This setting	Specifies how the following values are displayed
Distance and grid coords	Distance and northing/easting coordinates
Height	Height and elevation
Angles	Angles
Quadrant bearings	Bearing values are automatically converted to quadrant bearings when this check box is enabled.
Temperature	Temperature
Pressure	Pressure
Grade	Grade The grade of a slope can be displayed as an angle, percent, or ratio. The ratio can be displayed as Rise:Run or Run:Rise.
Area	Supported area units include: Square meters Square miles Square international feet Square US survey feet Square international yards Square US survey yards Acres Hectares
Volume	Supported volume units include: Cubic meters Cubic international feet Cubic US survey feet Cubic international yards Cubic US survey feet Acre feet US acre feet

Formats for numerical values

This setting	Specifies how the following values are displayed
Distance display	The number of decimal places in all distance fields. When the Distance and grid coordinates field is set to US survey feet or international feet you can configure the distance display to be in feet and inches. Supported fractions of an inch include: 1/2", 1/4", 1/8", 1/16" and 1/32".
Coordinate display	The number of decimal places in all northing/easting coordinate fields
Area display	The number of decimal places for a computed area
Volume display	The number of decimal places for a computed volume
Angle display	The number of decimal places for a computed angle.
Lat / Long	Latitude and longitude
Coordinate order	The order for the displayed grid coordinates. Select from: North‑East‑Elev East‑North‑Elev Y‑X‑Z (equivalent to East‑North‑Elev – field prompts changed) X‑Y‑Z (equivalent to North‑East‑Elev – field prompts changed) For the Y‑X‑Z and X‑Y‑Z options, the convention used defines that the Y axis is the East axis and the X axis is the North axis.
Station display	(Also known as Chainage in some countries.) This defines the distance along a line, arc, alignment, road or tunnel. The station values can be displayed as: 1000.0 where the values are displayed as entered 10+00.0 where the + separates the hundreds from the remaining values 1+000.0 where the + separates the thousands from the remaining values Station index The Station index display type uses an extra Station index increment field value as part of its definition. The station value is displayed as per the 10+00.0 option, but the value before the + is the station value divided by the Station index increment. The remainder is displayed after the +. For example if the Station index increment is set to 20, a station value of 42.0 m is displayed as 2 + 02.0 m. This display option is used in Brazil but may have application in other markets.
Station index increment	If the Station display is set to Station index the station index increment field appears enabling an appropriate station index increment to be entered. See details above.
Laser VA display	Laser vertical angles Can be vertical angles measured from the zenith, or inclinations measured from horizontal.
Time format	The format for date and time. Select from: Local date/time UTC time GPS weeks and seconds
