### Probe Compensation of Measured Points

For a Total Station device, PC-DMIS retrieves the direction compensation information from a reference plane or work plane defined when you measure the feature using the Quick Start dialog box.

The plane's vector determines the compensation direction. You can also can select whether the compensation is toward or away from the point.

Generally speaking, PC-DMIS uses the pressing of an End button on the controller to calculate probe compensation direction. However, since a Total Station controller does not support this button, PC-DMIS instead retrieves the direction compensation information from a reference plane or work plane defined when you measure the feature. The plane's vector determines the compensation direction. You can also can select whether the compensation is toward or away from the point.
