Max Target Snap Distance	The Progress Fix Set A shape file that can contain fixes and/or targets. Targets are points (positions defined by an X and an Y co-ordinate) to be used in VOSS RT, for operators to perform certain actions on each target. For example, place a block, drop an anchor, install a vertical drain. In VOSS RT, at the moment of installation, automatic or manually a fix can be logged, that contains the actual co-ordinates, date & time and other parameters. can contain Targets. Targets are predefined positions prepared by the surveyor. Vertical Drainage Installation Rigs will use Targets, for the operator to know where to install the drains. VOSS RT has the capability to select the nearest Target, which is called snapping. When the distance to a Target is less than the distance defined at Max Target Snap Distance, the Target will become active.
Fix Offset Point	Here the location on your equipment is selected that will be used for creating fixes. Normally you will choose the head of your arm. In case of a TSHD Trailing Suction Hopper Dredger with two arms, you need to choose the port- or starboard side head.

Fix tolerances

A Target becomes Active when your are closer than Max Target Snap Distance: the Target ID name will pop up as defined in Active Fix Target Settings.

Here you are in the High Error Range, a circle will be drawn in the color defined at High Error Range (red).

Normally at High Error Range, the Allow Action is set to No and no Fix can be recorded.

 

Here you are in the Medium Error Range, the color of the circle becomes the one defined at Medium Error Range (yellow).

If Allow Action is set to Show Warning, a Fix can be recorded but first a warning is given whether you are sure that you want to Fix at this position.

 

Here you are in Low Error Range, the color of the circle becomes the one defined at Low Error Range (green).

Fix Settings have no vertical tolerance settings.
