Setup by Reference Direction
To determine the location of the total station occupation point by measuring two points: the first point is a known point, the second point is an unknown point in the known direction from the first point.
The reference direction setup wizard helps you to perform the procedure:
- Specify the occupation point in the Define Instrument setup group.
- In the Occupy field, enter a name of the occupation point. If you determine the coordinates of an unknown occupation point, type in a new point name. If you want to recalculate the coordinates of the known occupation point choose the point either from the map
or from the list
.
- In the HI field, enter the height of the instrument.
- Click the Next button to continue.
- Specify and measure the known point that is a start point of the line with the known direction. Refer to the setup graphics in the bottom that schematically shows current measurement.
- Specify and measure the unknown point that lies in the known direction from the known point. Refer to the setup graphics in the bottom that schematically shows current measurement.
- In the Point field, type in a name for the unknown point.
- In the Line Azimuth field, enter a known direction, either Azimuth, or Bearing (depending on the direction setting in the Display dialog).
- Click Next to proceed with measurement of the specified point.
- Follow the displayed instruction.
- 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.
