Constraint	The value of the constraint.

Constraints are only used when performing a constrained network adjustment of TPS and GPS measurements.

Notes

Deleting a configuration item results in any measurements linked to the item also being deleted.
Select a configuration node in the left-hand pane to display the related data in a data grid in the right-hand pane.
Right-click the data grid title bar to display a menu that enables columns to be toggled on and off.
Click to add new Total Stations, Reflectors, Field Parties, Levels and Staves for manual data input.
Click to edit the item selected in the data grid. In some cases, items are read only to maintain data integrity.
