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:

  1. Specify the occupation point in the Define Instrument setup group.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.
