Calculate

To calculate traverse and sideshot points coordinates:

  1. In the Input tab:
  2. In the Results tab, review the results of the calculation and:
  3. The Map tab shows the job's objects with the illustration for the results and supports generation of a field report with the results of calculation (use the Create Field Report command from the context menu).
  4. The Drawing tab shows the illustration for the results and supports generation of a field report with the results of calculation (use the Create Field Report command from the context menu).

BS Point

The BS Point dialog allows you to enter the backsight azimuth for the Traverse calculation. The azimuth can be computed from the traverse's From Point to a backsight point or can be entered manually.

Select BS Point or BS Azimuth to set the backsight point location or the backsight azimuth. The backsight point may be entered manually, selected from the map or from the list of the job points.

If a backsight point is entered, the Code and string of the point are displayed.


Adjust

Before the result of a traverse can be used to determine its location from the traverse stations, the traverse must be mathematically consistent. The misclosures in the linear and angular measurements must be adjusted out. The process of applying corrections to the corresponding point coordinates is called traverse adjustment. In the current job, the coordinates of the network after adjustment will be displayed without changes. The list of adjusted coordinates for the given network will be saved in a new MAGNET Field job.

To perform an adjustment of a surveyed traverse:

  1. Set the data needed for the task in the first Adjustment dialog. More...
  2. Select the method of the traverse adjustment and calculate the task. More...
  3. Review the results of adjustment. More...

Adjustment Settings

Set the data needed for the task:

  1. In Start Point, set the station on which the traverse originates. This can be entered manually, selected from the map or from the list of the job points.
  2. In End Point, set the station on which the traverse closes.
  3. Enable the Adjust Elevations check box to include elevations adjustment if it is needed to determine elevations in the traverse.
  4. Enable the Adjust Sideshots check box to include sideshots in adjustment.
  5. If required to consider Earth curvature and atmospheric refraction corrections, set the value of Curvature refraction either to 0.14 or 0.20.
  6. In the Job to store the results, click New to create a new job to store the adjusted coordinate of the network. A full path to the job file will be shown.
  7. Click Next to continue. More...

Adjustment Method

To adjust the traverse:

  1. Select the method of traverse adjustment:
  2. Click Adjust to calculate the task.

Adjustment Results

Closure

To perform loop misclosure test for the traverse.

Set the data needed for the task:

  1. In Start Point, set the station on which the traverse originates. This can be entered manually, selected from the map or from the list of the job points.
  2. Click Next to perform the calculation and creating the Misclosure report.More...
