Input Mode Fore-backsights creates foresights only

Open CaverBruce opened this issue 5 years ago • 2 comments

Just about to head out on a predominantly foresight survey trip where I may want to take some pairs of fore and backsight for some legs. So i gave it a test run in my house, and find that I only get foresights, and that the station numbers always increase. One explanation is that the magnetic interference is causing the backsights to deviate more than the delta setting, and ST is quite appropriately deducing that it is not a backsight (similar to PocketTopo). Once I have been out in the field I will probably be able to work it out, but it would be nice to be able to read in the help document how this is intended to work.

PS: I had a few ST crashes while I was changing from fore/back/fore-back sights, and i attempted to file a crash report. That also crashed, so I'm not sure if anything got posted. It seems to have settled down, so I'm not too worried.

Haven't looked at the backsights thing yet but I have received some bug reports - ta. Will fix.
