EDM Settings

Time Out (s)

Use this to specify the length of time FieldGenius will try to receive a measurement from your instrument. You may need to set this to a higher number if you're trying to receive measurement in wooded areas or long sights.

Use Default Time Out

If this is checked on FieldGenius will use a default time out value. If you would like to change it you need to uncheck it and update the Time Out field.

Minimum and Maximum

You can specify the minimum and maximum distance that FieldGenius will accept as being valid. Example is if you set this the minimum to 10 feet and you measure 5 feet, FieldGenius will not record the measurement and will display a "Distance out of range" error in the status toolbar.

Guide Light

If your instrument has guide lights you will be able to set their intensity modes here. Please refer to your owner's manual for more information on the different intensities.
