To Edit Survey Instrument Setups

Use the Toolspace Survey tab to view and edit setup data for multiple setups or for an individual setup.

For individual setups, the Setups Editor vista provides the same functionality as the setup properties list view in the ToolspaceSurvey tab, but is more suited for horizontal viewing of a tabulation of this type of data. The benefit of editing setups in the Setups Editor is that you can easily switch to the Survey tab and browse through the data and then return to the Setups Editor to continue with your edits.
