Tracking Point Slope Windows in Survey
By John Marinuzzi
In the November 2013 of Sounding Better!, I wrote about a new Multiple Offsets option in
Survey. We have since decided to call these Tracking Points. Over the past few months we
have been adding functionality by expanding it to mobiles and creating Tracking Point to
Target Windows. The next step is Tracking Point Slope Windows.
Tracking Point Slope Windows enable you to track the slope, angle, and horizontal and
vertical distances between two tracking points.
In the Tracking Points window, there is now a “New Slope Window” button.

Here you decide which Tracking
Points to track from the pulldown menus. Then a separate
window is created to display the
data:
