The following appears when zeroing the circle:
–

A new backsight circle value is computed, sent to the instrument and
stored in the raw data.

–

The

Angle Right value is changed to zero to reflect the change (see

example). The instrument now needs to be turned horizontally to zero to
face the design point.

– To prevent errors, the backsight setup is invalidated when exiting the

Stakeout function. You will need to reset your backsight circle to the
proper reference after exiting stakeout before collecting any new data.

• Whatever your choice about the circle setting, orient the instrument as

requested so the instrument is facing the target.

• Tap

Stake then Shot to take a measurement. The screen returns the results

of the measurement, providing information to adjust the position of the
target (see screen example):
–

FORWARD / BACK: Indicates if the rod must move forward (toward the
instrument) or backward (away from the instrument).

–

Go RIGHT / Go LEFT: Indicates if the rod must move to the right or left
from the instrument’s point of view.

NOTE: You can also get the reverse indication (i.e. displaying directions from the
rod’s viewpoint) by clearing the

View From Instrument to Rod (non-remote) option in

Job > Settings > Stakeout tab.

–

CUT / FILL: Displays the required amount of cut or fill to bring the stake
point to the design point’s elevation.

–

Rod Elev: Displays the elevation at the rod’s location computed from the
last shot.

• When you are satisfied with the location of the target, stake the point and

then do one of the following:

1. Before moving on to the next point, you may want to store the location

of the as-staked point: While still standing on the target, tap

Store, name

and describe the point (the default description prompted by Survey Pro
is in the form “ST<name_of_point_you have_just staked>), then tap

to collect the point. This point will be marked with a icon.

2. Or If you wish to stake the next point without storing the results of this

staked point, tap

Stake Next.
