If High Dynamic Range (HDR) is selected in the Photo properties group, annotations are not added to snapshots.
Enable Annotate snapshot to add an information panel and crosshairs for the measured position to the image.
If the Annotate snapshot check box is not available, enable the Snapshot on measure check box first.
Select the Crosshair checkbox to add the crosshairs for the measured position.
Select the items from the Annotate options group to display in the information panel at the bottom of the image.
To display descriptions in the information panel, select the Descriptions item and then go to Job properties and select Use descriptions and define the description labels in the Additional settings screen.
To save a copy of the original image to the <project>\<job name> Files\Original Files folder, select Save original image.
If you do not have a job open, images are saved to the current project folder and original images are saved to the Original Files folder inside the current project folder.
The information panel is not displayed when the image is captured. To view the information panel, go to Review job and select the image.

The Photo properties group controls the settings for images captured using the instrument.
- Set the file name, image size, and compression.
- File names are automatically incremented from the start file name. The image captured is always the same size as the video display on screen. Not all image sizes are available at all zoom levels. The higher the quality of the image, the larger the file size of the captured image.
-
With High Dynamic Range (HDR) selected, the instrument captures three images rather than one image, each with different exposure settings. During HDR processing in Trimble Business Center, the three images are combined to produce a composite image that has better tonal range to show more detail than any of the individual images.
If High Dynamic Range (HDR) is selected, annotations are not added to snapshots.

To select the scan points and point clouds to display in the video feed, tap in the video toolbar and select Scans. Tap a scan to select it. You can select multiple scan files.
The Select scans screen lists all scan files in the current job, including scan point clouds (.rwcx files) from a Trimble SX10 scanning total station and .tsf scan files created using a Trimble VX Series or S Series instrument that has Trimble VISION technology.
If the connected instrument is a Trimble SX10 scanning total station, the color beside each scan indicates the color used for the point cloud if Scan color is selected as the Color mode in the Settings / Point cloud options.

To show only some feature types in the map, tap in the map toolbar and select Filter. The Filter table shows a list of all the different types of entities that might exist in the job, except scan points.
Select the feature types to display from the list. Clear the check boxes for the feature types you do not want to see.
Tap to apply a much finer filter to control entities in the map. You can filter points by Point name, Code, Descriptions (if enabled) and Note. For more information, see To filter data using wildcard search.
To select the S series and SX10 scans from which to show scan points, use the Select scans screen.
