2 Distance Offset
To determine the horizontal coordinates of an offset point using coordinates of two measured points and horizontal distances to the offset point from each of these two points.
To enter this offset mode, click
in the top left corner of the Topo Survey (GNSS) dialog, click Measure to expand the sub-menu and select 2 Distance Offset.
2 Distance Offset mode requires coordinates of two points and known horizontal distances from these points to the offset point.
- In the Point 1 field, specify the first point. Click the
button to measure a point and instantly enter this point coordinates to the corresponding field. The field will display Measured. Alternatively, use an existing point from the current job, select the desired point from the map
or from the list
of job points.
- In the Distance field, enter the horizontal distance value form the first point to the offset point. If the External Laser check box is selected in the Rover Peripherals dialog and a laser rangefinder is configured, click
to measure the distance and instantly enter the value.
- In the Point 2 field, specify the second point. Click the
button to measure a point and instantly enter this point coordinates to the corresponding field. The field will display Measured. Alternatively, use an existing point from the current job, select the desired point from the map
or from the list
of job points.
- In the Distance field, enter the horizontal distance value form the first point to the offset point. If the External Laser check box is selected in the Rover Peripherals dialog and a laser rangefinder is configured, click
to measure the distance and instantly enter the value.
- Specify the offset Offset Pt name and Code to be stored in the job, just as described in the Topo survey (GNSS).
- From the drop-down list select the direction to calculate the horizontal coordinates of offset point, relative to the line point 1 - point 2, either Left of line, or Right of line.
Note: The vertical coordinate of the offset point is equal to the vertical coordinate of the first point (Point 1).
After specifying two points and distances, click
to calculate horizontal coordinates and store the offset point to the job. The stored point has the
icon in point listings of the current job.
