What is the zone’s area type? [NetSpot 2]

This article is for NetSpot 2. For NetSpot 3 refer to the “Setting the data point precision” article. 

When starting a new survey, one of the settings is the Zone Area Type. This setting regulates how large the green circle is around each measurement point during a survey.

Note: The Survey functionality is available only in paid versions of NetSpot (Home, PRO, and Enterprise). If you have the free version, you won’t be able to access the Zone Area Type settings.

Zone’s area types:
