Survey Cross Section
To perform the survey of the cross section:
- Select between Road, H Alnt and None as required.
- Enter the name of the Road / Horizontal alignment manually or select it from the list
.
- When no alignment is selected (None), enter the Centerline Code from the drop-down list. Click the Code button to set attributes. More...
The centerline code must be a valid line code to apply to the surveyed points for creating the alignment.
If the road has not been set, define the plane. On the first station, the survey is performed so that every next point has a different code, for example A, B, C, cl, D, E, F. Press
to automatically change the station number. The application suggests that the survey on the next station uses the same codes in the opposite order: F, E, D, cl, C, B, A. The line is created along the points with the cl code.
- Set the X-Sect Sta where the cross section will be surveyed. You can select any road point as a current point. To do it, click
in this field and select any road point in the Road Point dialog.
- Enter the Interval of distance towards the next station.
- Select the Use Horizontal Transition Points check box to include transition points, in spite of the station distance.
- Select the Use automatic X-Section Station check box to automatically set a next nearest X-section station to survey.
- Click
to start measurements.
Optionally, you can open the Roads dialog to edit the road. To do this, select the option Edit Roads from the pop-up menu that displays by clicking
in the top left corner.
Pole Measurement
The Pole Measurement dialog allows you, when conducting a x-section survey, to create a point calculated as an offset from the point that was measured with a GNSS receiver or TS.
Taking pole-measured points is useful when you are unable to measure them directly.
Mind the following:
- The first point on the occupation must be a point measured with instrument. From this measured point, a pole point can be measured.
- The pole point coordinates are calculated on the assumption that it is in the same x-section as the previous point. The direction of the pole is the direction from the previous point - measured or a pole point.
- Elevation is the offset from the previous point (which has already had a height coordinate).
To create a pole point:
X-Section Normal View
The dialog contains the Status panel at the top.
To perform measurements of the surface's points:
- Enter the name of the Point to be logged.
- Enter code and attribute information for the point.
- You can select a Code from the drop-down list. Code needs to be defined at the time it is entered if it is not a code that exists in the Codes dialog
- If the code type is Line or Area, an icon will indicate that the point belongs to the line or area. Set a string and, if required, a control code.
- Press the Code button to enter information on the Point Attributes. More... You can set two control codes, and attribute values for the code.
- Enter the Antenna Height and set the type of height measurement (Vertical or Slant).
- Start the measurement operation according to your preference:
- This dialog displays in the real time:
- X-Sect Sta - the position of the station, where the cross section must be surveyed;
- Along - the distance along the central line from the current position of the GNSS antenna to the X-Section Station;
- Station - the position of the nearest station for the current position of the GNSS antenna;
- Left/Right - the distance of perpendicular to the central from the current position of the GNSS antenna.
X-Section Map View
The dialog shows the stored points graphically. All the survey process can be done through this view as well. It contains the information similar to the Normal View.
The Map View contains:
To show text information about coordinates, Solution Type, PDOP/GDOP, HRMS/VRMS, Magnetic Field or /and UTS Time click on any
data field in the dialog. The Select Value to display dialog is opened. Select the desired parameter from the list and click
to display it's value during the survey.
Context menu
The dialog's context menu is displayed on a right-click in empty space of the map. The menu contains the following items:
- Move eLevel Here - places the bubble level on the screen from where the menu was called. Only displayed if Show eLevel was selected in TILT Settings dialog.
- Set Simulator Here - "moves" you to the point on the map from where the menu was called. Only displayed if the simulation mode was selected in the configuration.
- Move Profile View Here - centers the Profile View overlay panel on the screen from where the menu was called. Only displayed if Profile View was selected in Map Properties dialog.
- Move Section View Here - centers the Section View overlay panel on the screen from where the menu was called. Only displayed if Section View was selected in Map Properties dialog.
Note: Only one overlay panel must present on the X-section survey Map View, choose either Profile View or Section View to display.
- Create Field Report - opens the Field Report dialog.
