White Box Request

There are two white box options that I would like to see. They may exist, but I can't find them.
1) I would like to place more than one PDelta box on my screen. Often I am looking for a corner and a distance from two other corners (seperate) or locations would be helpful. I sometimes can use the PDelta and Distance to Last to accomplish this, however taking a shot resets the Distance to Last.
2) I would like a timer that starts when I push Start. There is a function that keeps a timer until the preset time is reached, then it just shows PDOP. I must now write the start time down or remember the start time. I think it would be helpful in the field.
I am sure others have thought of White Box functions that would be helpful.

I think this is reasonable. You can do this now by creating a CoGo point with the Distance-Distance Intersection function.

I would like a timer that starts when I push Start.

The "GNSS Recording" white box already does this.

Thanks,
I agree that there are several work arrounds to a second PDelta white box. I still feel that there are times I would like a second and even a third PDelta white box. I resist thinking, or working, and JAVAD caters to this.

Thanks; I didn't know what the "GNSS Recording" option did.

In my action setup I had set the "Activate Post-Processing option after " to 5 minutes. I have now set it to "Never". This gives me a timer from the push of the start button.
Question -- does this option (Activate Post-Processing) do anything other than sound an alarm and change the contents of the box that is second from bottom right on the action screen?

The APP button is not really needed if you select record raw data from the what to record settings. If you are not automatically recording then the app can be used. I too use it as a timer. The Gnss recording white box will only count if in a profile with recording turned on.

It marks point to be processed by DPOS. If it is not marked to be processed and the "Process All raw GNSS Points" option is disable, the point will not be processed.

This is what I like to do....others prefer to store raw data on all points. If I have good, solid, 3 phase rtk that I’m 100% certain of, I’m not concerned about having/processing any base/rover PPK. By doing that on moderate coverage areas it “can” auto pick a PPK point that isn’t correct over a finished, sure, 3 phase rtk.

I like using 15 minutes minimums and having them marked “mp” in my points list at the end of the day. Again, that’s just my preference and as with so much in the LS, others can/do prefer different and can certainly set it up that way.

There are now options for 3 PDelta boxes in the latest build of J-Field.

It's hot, or sleeting. You just need to search for a coord. Of course, you could do dd int. Then stk it.
But, it would be nice to be able to do simultaneous stakeout, to search.
Ask, and yet shall receive....
Thanks Matt, et al.
