Survey with cable locators | Leica X-PAD Help Center

locators

Leica X-PAD allows to survey GNSS points while operating a cable locator.
When operating a cable locator is possible to record cable locator information (cable locator working mode, recorded depth) in parallel with coordinates measured by the GNSS receiver.
Pressing the button on the cable locator to log the current information also records the GNSS position in X-PAD.

An active locator profile must be defined that is used to acquire the depth values, see Creating a profile for cable detector.

Open the Survey page.
Select Survey points.
X-PAD automatically connects to the current GNSS receiver and cable locator. If the locator profile is active in the GNSS survey window, a toolbar with the locator current working mode is visible.
Press the LOG key of the locator to send the measured value of depth and working mode to X-PAD.
The software captures the depth and stores a new point using the current GNSS position.
