Feature Preferences - Setting Continuous Data Collection Mode
Setting Continuous Data Collection Mode
If you have a lot of data to collect and many of the same features to create, you can set continuous data collection. This allows you to sequentially digitize any number of features of the same type in succession and on the fly. Without interacting with the keyboard or mouse, you can create a number of features without having to interact with the RevWorks toolbar or menu..

Warning: You must have an active limit set for the number of points for the feature type you wish to collect to get the full benefit of continuous data collection mode. Otherwise RevWorks cannot determine when to automatically create the feature and continue data collection. Be sure that the Unlimited option is not set. |
While collecting data, you can stop the digitizing process at any time by selecting from the RevWorks toolbar, or selecting Cancel from the RevWorks menu, or pressing the Esc key. Some digitizers also have a third button which can be used to cancel data collection.
At any time, you can enable or disable continuous data collection mode by performing the following procedures.
