Configure the Survey Tab

The fields in the Survey tab identify the current survey and, if imported into PCS using Bridge, will correspond to PCS ROW Code, Pipeline Code, and Surveyer fields. PCS does not currently support direct import of Allegro MX DCVG survey files (Field Computer > Receive Data). However, you can use Bridge to import data in PCS. See the PCS User Guide for more information.

  1. If not already in the Properties window, tap File > Properties to display the Survey tab.

  2. Provide information in the following fields of the Survey tab:

    • Segment: Enter the name of the ROW (right-of-way) in this required field. You can enter up to 100 characters.

      If you plan to import DCVG data in PCS using Bridge, Segment name must match ROW Code in PCS. If these fields do not match, a new ROW Code and folder is created with the label Unknown in the hierarchy of PCS.

    • Pipe: Enter a pipeline code in this optional field.

      If you plan to import DCVG data in using Bridge, Pipe is equivalent to Pipeline Code in PCS. If the ROW Code entered earlier includes multiple, parallel pipelines with different pipeline codes, enter the appropriate pipeline code. If pipeline codes have not been created in PCS, leave this field empty.

    • Tech: Enter the surveyor's name in this optional field.

      If you plan to import DCVG data in PCS using Bridge, the name entered in the Tech field populates the Surveyor field in the Indirect Survey Manager (ISM) module.

    • Run: Enter a unique survey name in this optional field.

      For example, include station number, milepost number, date, or a combination of station number and date, or milepost and station number. If you plan to import DCVG data in PCS using Bridge, data in this field creates a new CI survey folder in ISM.

    • Date: Enter a date or use the one automatically entered by DCVG.

  3. Tap Ok to save changes and return to the survey file or tap another tab to set additional properties.
