Sideshot - Set Collection
To perform sequence of measurements in the previously defined Angle/Distance Sets - Dir/Rev measurement sets.
This dialog is a part of the Set Collection wizard. The dialog provides guided control over the measurement sequences and offer instant access to the data collected during the measurements.
Note: The Traverse survey is also supported, click
to open the dialog menu and select Traverse from the Measure sub-menu to switch the dialog to Traverse Set Collection from the Sideshot Set Collection mode. After completion of defined Angle/Distance Sets - Dir/Rev measurement sets, current occupation point will change to the measured foresight point (the Advance dialog opens and offers new occupation point selection if there are multiple foresight points). Current backsight will change to the previous occupation point. The Backsight dialog will automatically open to update backsight data.
Use the view selector in the dialog title bar to switch between different views of the dialog at any time:
- Normal view - provides supervising of measured locations, offers on-screen guidance for operating the total station, and contains measurement saving tools.
- Map view - shows the measurement process in real time on the map and contains measurement saving tools.
- Meas Set view - shows all the data of performed measurements, grouped by sets, informs about the current tolerance state according to the used measurement accuracy class, and offers options to accept or redo measurement sets. This view is accessible at any time but also opens automatically after completion of all measurements. More...
- Results view - shows the aggregated Set Collection results and their compliance with the tolerances in the used measurement accuracy class. The data is available after completion of measurement set. More...
Switch to the Normal view to supervise measured locations and receive on-screen guidance for total station manipulation.
Note: If the Predefined points box was checked in the Set Collection Config dialog, MAGNET Field automatically follows the list, created in the Predefined Points dialog, and accordingly populates Point name, Code and Target for currently measured point.
- The Point field displays the name of measured point. Enter a point name manually or keep an automatically offered name.
Note: All displayed point data is read-only when it is time to measure to the backsight in the measurement sequence.
- Set a code and attribute information for the point:
- Select an existing Code from the drop-down list. You can manually type a code name. If there is no code with such name, the Code dialog will open when saving. There you can quickly create a new code with entered name.
- If the code type is Line or Area, the respective icon indicates that the point belongs to a line or area. Set a Code String and, if required, select an available Control Code (single or dual) from the drop-down list.
- Click the Code
button to access more code and attribute parameters in the Point Attributes dialog.
- In the Note field, enter a description for the point.
- Enter the height of the target. Type the value manually or click the button with current target icon to select one of the previously used values from the context menu. Select Edit from the context menu to open the Targets dialog to add or modify target configurations. Depending on the selected target type, the target icon looks like:
-
when a normal prism is selected, prism constant also displays below;
-
when a 360 prism is selected, prism constant also displays below;
-
when a sheet is selected, target offset also displays below;
-
when a non-prism is selected, target offset also displays below;
-
when a long non-prism is selected, target offset also displays below.
- An on-screen message displays the current observation in the measurements sequence and the total station position that should be used in this measurement:
- BSD - measurement to the backsight in direct position;
- BSR - measurement to the backsight in reverse position;
- FSD - measurement to the foresight in direct position;
- FSR - measurement to the foresight in reverse position;
Note: An increment is added to the next foresight FSR# when multiple foresight points are included into the measurement set. If necessary, check the name of the current foresight point in the Point field above.
- The current Set number in the set queue is shown also.
- Switch to the Map view at any time to visually review occupation position and current target location.
- Take measurement in either Normal view, or Map view. More...
- Optionally, it is possible to add more foresight points to the current set. The button
/
/
displayed in a row with
and
means the choice: either to add another foresight point to the set, or to continue the current sequence. Click
/
to take the measurement to another foresight point. Measurements to this point are now included into the sequence. Click
/
/
to not add measurements to another foresight point and finish the set or continue the sequence with already measured foresight points.
- Optionally, it is possible to interrupt the started sequence before all FS points included in the sequence have been measured and take some sideshots that will not be included into the Angle/Distance Sets - Dir/Rev measurement set. Click
to open the dialog menu and select Sideshot Interrupt from the Measure sub-menu to switch the dialog to Sideshot Interrupt from the Sideshot Set Collection mode. Choose a sideshot measurement and accuracy Class and proceed to sideshot measurements out of the current Angle/Distance Sets - Dir/Rev measurement set. Measure any desired point or points and return to the interrupted Angle/Distance Sets - Dir/Rev measurements by clicking
that becomes available to the left from
and
. The points measured during an interruption will only be saved after the defined Angle/Distance Sets - Dir/Rev measurement sets have been completed and the results saved.
- After saving a measurement, MAGNET Field focuses on the next target in the sequence.
Note: When a robotic total station is used, MAGNET Field can automatically rotate and plunge the instrument during the measurements sequence, force the robot to automatically find and lock the target, and automatically save measurement. These settings can be configured in the Set Collection Config dialog.
- After all the measurements are completed, the Meas Set view opens automatically and displays obtained results with options to accept or redo measurements.
