====== Base Station Setup ======

Configuring the Base Station is part of the initial setup of a job site. Since the base location is the reference that all measurements are based on, setting it up so it remains a constant is critical.

The Initial flow is this:

  - User opens Base Station Setup. If there's a previously connected instrument, the program tries to connect to it. The program needs to indicate that it's correctly connected or not. (Open to suggestions here)
  - The user picks Set from GPS or Set from File.
  - Set from GPS takes collects 10 points from the GPS, removes outliers (2 std dev.) and averages the location. The resulting position is set into the GPS.
  - The program prompts whether to save the base station file (.bas example https://agtek.s3.amazonaws.com/Agtek/LSJU4ptZuQRz)
  - If saved, the file is local and there is the option to upload to Access. This will require a login to do so since the program is not keyed. A "Control" Folder is added under Projects/Job Name for this purpose.
  - After a successful Save, exit the program.

  - When Set from File is chosen, we display the Local/Access File screen. Picking a file loads the coordinates on the screen and prompts the user "Use these coordinates" Yes/No with the coordinates clearly visible beneath the prompt (on the main screen).
  - Yes sets the position values into the GPS and confirms the successful upload. Upon successful confirmation, the program exits. 

With no previous instrument setup or an unsuccessful connection to the base, we will go to the configuration window to select a GPS and do any configuration necessary.

===== Screen Features =====


Set from GPS - Starts GPS collection of positions for 10 shots and updates the Lat/Long/Height display. Takes the median position and displays it as the final value. During the shots a progress bar shows the shots being taken as feedback. 


Set from File - Displays the file dialog to choose a .bas file from either Local or Access. Values from that file are displayed below.

Lat/Long/Height - The read out from the GPS or file


Satellites - The number of satellites visible to the base. This is more for feedback about potential base issues.


Device - The current device chosen. Most of the time this stays the same and is remembered between sessions.

Configure - Allows setting of device type, configuration and radios
