Key in the down and out positions for the point you
want to stake.Tap

Next. Layout Pro then computes the

coordinates of the stake point.

With a mechanical total station, rotate the instrument
in order to zero the angle to the stake point. When
done, the instrument is on line with the point to be
staked. Get the rod holder on the same line and tap
Shoot to take a measurement. The angle value is shown
in bold red on the screen, with right/left direction arrow
(see example below left).

With a robotic total station, enable the LockNGo
function and run a target search to lock the instrument
onto the target. The instrument starts updating
distances continuously (the EDM automatically
changes to Tracking mode) and shows map guidance to
the point location.

For both types of total stations, complete the
procedure as you would for a stake point selected from
the entered plan.

• If you choose

Show Position, no entries are made.

Simply take a shot at the rod and the position is shown
in relation to the reference line. See examples below.
