Surface
To perform a survey and create a new Surface or append to an existing Surface:
- Enter surface information. More...
- Perform surface survey. More...
Volume Input
To input surface information:
- Click New button and select from the list either New to create a new Surface or Append To if you want to add the volume calculations to an existing Surface. Click
to select surface from the list. An information message will display the maximum and minimum Northing and Easting values for the area covered by the Surface.
- Click Boundary button and select from the list the surface to which their volumes will be computed:
- Boundary: the volume calculation is performed from the Surface to a Surface created from all the points which define the boundary.
- Min Elevation: the volume calculation is performed from the Surface to a flat plane created at the minimum elevation of the Surface.
- Max Elevation: the volume calculation is performed from the Surface to a flat plane created at the maximum elevation of the Surface.
- Fixed Elevation: the volume calculation is performed from the Surface to a flat plane created at the user entered elevation. Either manually enter the fixed elevation in the edit field or press the Map or the List selection button to select a point in the job whose elevation will be used as the fixed elevation. The edit field will display the elevation of the selected point.
- Plane: the volume calculation is performed from the Surface to a flat plane created through the three points. Either manually enter the names of the three points in the edit fields or use the associated Map and List selection buttons to select these points from the job.
- Design Surface: the volume calculation will be performed from the Surface to the user-entered Surface. Either manually enter the name of the second Surface or press the List selection button and choose the Surface from the list. The plots will display both of the Surface.
- No Volume Calc: there will not be any volume computation performed.
- Click No Alnt button and select from the list a desired alignment type to view the current station and center line offset on the map:
- No Alnt: Alignment is not used.
- Use Road: select a road from a list
.
- Use H Alnt: select a horizontal alignment from a list
.
- Check the Auto Topo box to survey the Surface in Auto Topo mode. With the check box cleared, the survey starts in standard Surface Topo mode.
- Click Next to perform survey. More...
Surface Topo 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:
- Click
to perform the measurement with the precise settings and store the point either automatically or manually. The point is automatically saved, if it meets the criteria for storing the point as specified in Topo Settings. In manual mode, after pressing the button, two new buttons appear along with the count of the epochs achieved. Click
to save and
to cancel the measurement.
- Click
to perform the measurement with the quick settings and to store the point automatically.
- Click
to open a file for data logging in surveys with post processing. This button is shown if you have selected the Post Processing check box in the Receiver Make dialog. For the user-defined file name, enter the file name at the logging start. Click
to stop data logging into a file.
- Click
to view or change the settings for Topo survey. More...
- The display of the current coordinates depends on the selected coordinate system.
If in Volume Input you selected Use Alnt or Use Road and entered a horizontal alignment or a valid road, you can view the current station and center line offset, on the map and video tabs, by selecting those labels from the value selection display.
Select Volume Report from the
pop-up menu to view the stockpile/pit volume report while you are performing survey.
Surface Topo 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 a 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.
In Map properties you can clear the Surface check box not to display the current Surface.
Surface Topo Volume Report
The volume report allows you to view the stockpile/pit volume report while you are performing survey.
- The stockpile is the volume of the Surface which sits above the plane created by the boundary of the Surface.
- The pit is the volume of the Surface which sits below the plane created by the boundary of the Surface.
If required, click
to save the volume report to a file.
