Sending a Facility Survey Based on an Import Exported List
The following information applies to a survey file that has previously been set up, sent to disk, and then altered by a third party software such as RouteSmart®. Use the procedure in this section to import the survey file in PCS Axis and then send it to the Allegro.
Complete the following steps:
1 Verify the Allegro is connected to your computer. If needed, refer to the Allegro User Guide for information about how to connect the device.
2 Select one or more pipeline segments in the
Select ROWs window. Click
Save to close the window (

3 Click Field Computer > Send to open the Field Computer Send window.
4 Click the option Import Exported List.
