Measuring the Primary Station
You must measure the Primary Station if you have associated a Datum or Origin with it. The Primary Station sets the coordinate system that is used for the entire leap Set. Measuring the associated Datum or Origin sets a part coordinate system that is used for the entire leap Set. If a Datum or Origin is not active for the Primary Station, the device coordinate system is used and it is not necessary to measure before starting the digitizing process.
To Measure the Primary Station

Confirm that the Primary Station for the current Leap Set is selected as the current Station.
-
