How To Add Observations to a WinCan Survey
- Pressing the snapshot button will automatically add a "General Photograph" observation to the survey.
- If the observation code is known press the WinCan key and select "Add By Code" and then enter the desired code or just type the first letter of the code and code entry will begin. On a valid code being entered the parameter entry menu will open.
- If the code isn't known then press the WinCan key and select "Add Observation" and follow the on screen prompts to find the required code. Upon completion the parameter entry menu will open.
- On the parameter entry screen any fields marked with (M) are mandatory and the menu will not display the "OK to Confirm" or allow the observation to be added until data is added.
- If data is entered in any field it must be valid (i.e. clock points are numerical values from 1-12) or the "OK to Confirm" option will not be visible and the observation cannot be added.
- The observation can be cancelled by pressing the ESC key.
- Once parameter entry is complete and confirmed the option to add a Snapshot will then be displayed before completion.
- To close a continuous defect press the WinCan Key from the main recording screen and select "Continuous Defects". Select the defect to close from the list of open defects. The defect will then be closed. On pressing stop or ending the section all open Continuous Defects will be erased.
