To define parameters for staking offset locations. The Station / Real-Time / Skew Station button allows you to toggle between staking known and unknown staking locations:
- For Station:
- Select Station (3D Station if the Start 3D mode is chosen for the stakeout) to set the current or start station. The two arrow buttons allow you to decrease or increase the station by the interval specified in the station Interval shown.
- Set the station Interval.
- If the defined line / curve is finite, the Num Segments field is displayed. This field shows the number of segments of the line determined with the given station Interval. Entering the number of segments recalculates the station Interval to match this number.
- Enter the Right Offset or Left Offset of the computed point with respect to the line at the stations.
- Enter the Up Offset or Down Offset height offset, or the vertical Grade Offset (in percentage) with respect to the height of the line at the station. If the grade is falling, the value should be negative.
- For GNSS configuration - enter the antenna height. Click the button to select a method used to measure the antenna height (
Vertical or
Slant). Type the antenna height value manually or click the button to select one of the previously used values from the context menu.
Note: If the Unknown antenna model is selected during configuration, only the Vertical antenna height measurement method is available.
Note: In the mmGPS+ survey and stakeout routines, the antenna height value should be entered as the vertical height from the ground point to the rover's ARP. More...
- For TS configuration - 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. Depending on the selected target type, the target icon looks like:
-
when a normal prism is selected, prism constant also displays below;
-
when a 360 prism is selected, prism constant also displays below;
-
when a sheet is selected, target offset also displays below;
-
when a non-prism is selected, target offset also displays below;
-
when a long non-prism is selected, target offset also displays below.
- Click Stake to start the stakeout process for the designated offset locations. More...
- For Real Time:
- Enter the Right Offset or Left Offset of the computed point with respect to the line at the stations.
- Enter the Up Offset or Down Offset height offset, or the vertical Grade Offset (in percentage) with respect to the height of the line at the station. If the grade is falling, the value should be negative.

- For Skew Station:
- Select Skew Station to set the current station as start station of the new line. Enter the corresponding station.
- Enter the Left Skew or Right Skew value as the start angle in the horizontal plane (relative to the existing line) of the new line.
- Enter the Skew Offset to set a point on the new line.
- Enter the Up Offset or Down Offset height offset, or the vertical Grade Offset (in percentage) with respect to the height of the skew station. If the grade is falling, the value should be negative.
- For GNSS configuration - enter the antenna height. Click the button to select a method used to measure the antenna height (
