Data Description
| Command | 0.4 | Stores North, East, Elevation, Code, Class and "Description" by point number. |
| Point# | 1 | Any number from 1 to 99999 that is assigned to the coordinates following that number. |
| North | 13213.44 | North coordinate that defines the assigned point. |
| East | -6733.57 | East coordinate that defines the assigned point.
Note: If the point lies south of the origin, enter the Northing with a minus sign. If the point lies west of the origin, enter the Easting with a minus sign. |
| Elev | 563.24 | Elevation that defines the assigned point. |
| Code | IPF | Code is a single word descriptor of the point. Examples are IPF for Iron Pipe Found, and PKNailSet for PK Nail set. Although the character length is unlimited, printing output is formatted to 16 characters. Spaces, quotes and backslashes are not allowed. |
| Class | 10 | Class is a user-defined number from 1 to 255 that can be used to designate such things as control points, property corners, accuracy of points, or points to be held. The full functionality is not fully implemented in the current release, but has been included to allow future development.
In the future, Class will also be used to define a particular symbol to be used for plotting a point. It is not pre-set to any particular value at this time. |
| "Description" | "iron pipe found
at the corner of Smith" | "Description" is a long description of the point that will be included in legal descriptions generated with the Metes and Bounds Description writer included with iPOGO. This field is also suitable for capturing point data formatted for GIS applications.
Tip: Use the 9.4 command to export this point data to GIS applications. Note: The "Description" field is delimited by double quotes. Therefore double quotes within the text string must be preceded by an escape backslash in order to be read properly by the iPOGO engine. Example "S.26°30'25\"E.". |
