Set Collection Config
To configure Angle/Distance Sets - Dir/Rev measurement parameters.
This dialog is a part of the Set Collection wizard.
- From the Angle Sequence drop-down list, select a desired
measurement sequence for Angle/Distance Sets - Dir/Rev measurement set. BS is a backsight point, FS is a foresight point, and ^ is the Plunge term that stands for flipping and rotating the total station telescope by 180 degrees.
- From the Class drop-down list, select a desired class. Each class contains the appropriate number and combination of angle and distance sets and tolerances. Click
to view details or edit classes. More...
- The Set Circle to field is available when the first measurement in the chosen Angle Sequence is the BS (backsight). This field displays the initial horizontal circle reading corresponding to the backsight direction. Click
to open the button menu that enables you to set the initial circle reading to zero or to entered direction (azimuth or bearing), to input a value or to get from the instrument, or to change the value by +/- 90 or 180 degrees.
- The Set circle at start of each new set check box is available for Classes with more than one measurement set and when the first measurement in the chosen Angle Sequence is the BS (backsight). Check the box to use the current horizontal circle reading corresponding to the backsight point at start of each set of angle measurements. Clear the box to reset the horizontal circle reading to the displayed initial value before starting a new set of measurements.
- Check the Auto turn box to instruct the robotic total station to automatically rotate to the next target in the measurement sequence.
- From the Search After Turn drop-down list, select Search and Aim to instruct the robotic total station to automatically search and lock the target after performing an Auto turn. Select None to have the robotic total station go into standby mode after performing an Auto turn.
- Check the Auto accept measurement box to automatically perform and store the measurement after an Auto turn and to automatically proceed to the next target in the sequence. Clear the box to proceed to the next target in the sequence after manually accepting the measurement.
- Check the Predefined points box to specify point names, codes and target parameters for each of the presumed FS points prior to start measurements. The Predefined Points dialog opens later as a part of the Set Collection wizard. Clear the box to skip the Predefined Points dialog and specify names, codes and targets for FS points on the go, when measuring.
Note: Enabling Predefined points simplifies, speeds up and automates transitions between predefined targets in the set especially if measurements to multiple FS points are included into the single set.
Click Next to proceed and verify the instrument settings for an optical survey.
