Taking Measurements
To perform measurement with a total station.
Depending on the total station type, MAGNET Field offers the following ways to take measurements.
For Conventional total station survey type:
When using the Conventional Total Station you may quickly save a single measurement, or you may perform a single measurement to the point; verify the result and then confirm or reject the saving:
- Click
to take the single measurement to the point and automatically save it.
- Click
to obtain the single measurement. Then click
to save it or click
to discard the measurement.
Note: Survey settings (click
in the dialog title bar) and EDM selections (click EDM in the dialog title bar) are applicable to both buttons (
and
) in the Conventional total station survey type.
For Robitic total station survey type:
The Robotic Total Station automatically takes the measurement to the target in either Quick mode or Precise mode. There are two buttons in the dialog:
- When you click
, the Robotic starts measurement in the Quick mode. You can set the desired parameters for the mode in the Survey Settings dialog by clicking
in the dialog title bar. Depending on your settings for the Quick mode you can save either a single or an averaged measurement in the Fine / Rapid (Coarse) / Tracking mode to the job.
- When you click
the Robotic starts measurement in the Precise mode. You can set the desired parameters for the mode in the Survey Settings dialog by clicking
in the dialog title bar. Depending on your settings for the Precise mode you can obtain either continuous measurements, or a single or an averaged measurement in the Fine / Rapid (Coarse) / Tracking mode. Also you can select the Auto Store option, when either the single or the averaged measurement will be automatically stored in the job. If you did not set this option, click
