Video settings

To change the information shown in the video screen, tap the check box(es) to show or hide:

• points in point clouds
• name labels next to points
• code labels next to points
• elevations

To change the color used for labels, select it from the Overlay color list.

To configure the display of point clouds:

• Select the Scan point size.

• Select the Color mode for the point cloud.

  Select...	To...
  Scan color	Indicate the scan the points belong to
  Station color	Indicate the station used to measure the points
  Gray scaled intensity	Indicate the reflective intensity of points using a gray scale
  Color coded intensity	Indicate the reflective intensity of points using a color
  Color by elevation	Indicate the elevation of points using a color.
  Cloud color	Show all points the same color

if you select Color by elevation as the Color mode for the point cloud, enter the Minimum elevation and Maximum elevation values.

Features in map files linked to the job are overlaid onto the video image to show them in 3D. Overlaid features can come from multiple sources:

• BIM models (IFC, TrimBIM, DWG, NWD)
• point and line files (DXF, LandXML, 12da, Shapefiles)
• road files (RXL, LandXML, GENIO)
• tunnel files (TXL)
• mining files (Surpac STR)

To link files to the job, use the Layer manager. See Managing map file layers.

If you are displaying BIM models in the Video screen, configure the BIM display field:

• Select Wireframe to view the edges of the object. White lines in the BIM model are shown in black when the Wireframe option is selected.

• Select Solid to view items as solid objects. To make the object semi-transparent, select a Transparency value greater than 0%.

• Select Both to show both solid objects as well as the edges of objects.

Enable Autostore snapshot to automatically store captured images.

If Autostore snapshot is not selected, the image is displayed before storing, enabling you to Draw on the image.

Enable Snapshot on measure to automatically capture a snapshot after a measurement is taken from the video screen.

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.

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.

Select or clear the check boxes to control whether items are in the Video on screen controls.

You can select or clear the check boxes to change the appearance of the crosshairs in the Video screen when using a Trimble SX10 or SX12 scanning total station:

• Enable the Black and white switch to show the crosshairs in black and white. To show the crosshairs in a different color, set the Black and white switch to No and then select the required color.
• Select Extend crosshair and/or Enlarge center cross to increase the size of the crosshair elements.
