Creating Unknown Position Samples
To create unknown or wavescan position samples, first select the sample type as before and then enter the sample name in the sample name field. Optionally the user may enter a sample description field of up to 256 characters. To enter a new line in the sample description field use the <ctrl> and <enter> keys together.
Two new features are the Auto-Increment and Auto-Digitize check boxes. The Auto-Increment option will automatically increment the current sample name by appending a “_001, _002, _003”, etc. suffix. Each time the Create New Unknown Or Wavescan button is clicked (or the <enter> key is pressed) a new sample will be created with an unique sample number. The Auto-Digitize feature will at the same time automatically digitize a number of random position coordinates based on the Shotgun digitize feature parameters. Note that if a single point is specified in the Shotgun parameters then a single point is digitized based on the current stage position.
Finally, click the Create New Unknown Or Wavescan Position Sample button and the position sample will appear in the Automate! position sample list. Next proceed to digitize points using the random, traverse or grid buttons.
