Choosing Leveling Mode
1. If your active instrument is an electronic automatic level, then Survey Pro
will automatically use Electronic leveling method.
2. If your active instrument is an optical total station, then Survey Pro will
automatically use the Trigonometric leveling method. Creating and
activating either an electronic level instrument profile or an optical total
station profile is the same procedure used to create an instrument profile
in optical surveying mode (see Optical Mode - Connecting Survey Pro to an
Optical Instrument on page 21).
3. If your active instrument is the “Manual Mode” profile, then you must
choose your leveling method:
• Tap the Instrument icon and select
Switch to Leveling.
• Tap the Instrument icon again and select Manage Instruments. This opens
the Settings screen.
• Select Manual Mode and then tap Instrument Settings. This opens the Level
Method screen.
• Select the desired leveling method among the four possible,
• Tap to validate your choice. As a result, you can see that Manual Mode
in the list of instruments has now been activated automatically.
• Tap to close the Settings screen. Survey Pro is now ready to perform
manual leveling.
Level Settings
• Now that you have selected the Leveling mode, go back to the main menu
and select Job > Settings. This opens the Settings screen
• Select Level from the upper tab. This screen allows you to set the shooting
sequence ( BS1...BSn>FS1...FSn or [BS1 FS1>FS2BS2]n), the number of sets (n)
and a few leveling tolerances (vertical distance, horizontal distance, etc.)
Survey Pro will be using in Leveling mode.
The Load FGCS Defaults button allows you to specify a particular order and
class for the level loop. This will automatically fill in all the tolerances on
the
Settings screen with the default FGCS values.
Setting tolerances allows Survey Pro to issue warning messages when
tolerances are not met. It’s up to you to determine if the level loop meets
the criteria for a particular standard.
• Tap to enter all your settings and close the Settings screen.
• Go to the main menu and select
Survey to start your leveling work. Refer
to Section 7. Leveling on page 64 for more information.
