The instrument is always shown at the top of the screen
and the green line connecting the instrument to the rod
location is always vertical. A blue line with arrow point
connecting the rod location to the stake point gives the
direction to that point (see example below right). You can
also use the tracklight to guide you.
5. With a mechanical station, the rod being now roughly in
line, the rod holder should normally be asked to move
forward or back, according to the instructions provided by
Layout Pro. After the rodman has made a significant
move, aim your instrument at the rod and tap
Shoot again.
The Layout Pro display provides new indications, left or
right and forward or back, still in the perspective of the
total station operator.
With a robotic total station, move closer to the point
following the instructions on the data collector screen.
For both types of total stations, when the rod gets closer
to the stake point, the Layout Pro screen enters a new
guidance mode: the rodman location is represented by a
green circle and black reticle, the stake point location is
represented by a red circle and spot (see screens below).
6. With a mechanical station, continue to guide the rodman
closer to the stake position and re-shoot.
