After using this build for a while, we can't seem to overcome several problems:
-Our USB device/thumb drive is not recognized. Up until this build, we could insert the thumb drive at any time and export a text file for use in other instruments. Now we have to reboot the TR-LS with the thumb drive inserted to have it recognized. Sometimes, even a reboot does not help.
-The static file name for the base station is seemingly random. We have always had our base receivers programmed to log static at power-up. The file name was conventional: Unit#_Date_Session (0131208b).
Now, after running base setup, the first file is closed and a new file is started with a file name that makes no sense. Two sessions today are 6_102838 and 6_142922 ??? J-Field should check to see if the receiver is already logging and leave it alone, if so as happened in all the earlier builds.
-There is no longer a toggle to shut off Verify. We typically locate hundreds of points for a topo survey and many boundary surveys where the points are in open skies with 6 engines fixed. We do not need the Verify algorithm for these points. We have modified the settings to zero consistency level w/o V8 reset to speed up the data collection. But when we encounter a corner pin, control point, or even manhole rim, it was convenient to toggle on Verify with our Control/Boundary settings intact, for that shot. Now, we have to drill in and modify the settings, take the shot, and drill back in to reset the Verify for topo.
J-Field is advancing and improving pretty fast. Maybe there are things I missed?
