the cut below you.
If you are moving out to the catch point along the ground, you would get a report of “CrtF 1.25” or some such number,
and the “Current Fill” amount to the ground would decrease as you approach the catch. The actual stakeout screen
would appear as shown below. Note that some surveyors will watch the lower line (1.6:1 for 3.65) and just keep moving
out until they see 2:1 (or the desired slope) and drive the stake. Others will watch the “CrtF” value decrease to 0 and
drive the stake, or watch “OUT” decrease to 0.
Storing the Slope Stake and Offset Stake Points
When S for Store is pressed, you may store the actual slope stake point. You can also store a first offset point (since the
slope stake itself can be removed by construction). The slope stake information is typically written on the first offset
stake. Then you can also stake a second offset point, to obtain “line” to reset the slope stake if it is knocked out. The
first and second offset stakes provide a direction back to the slope stake. When the slope stake is set, the program
prompts for setting the first offset stake. When the first offset stake is set, the program prompts for setting the second
offset stake. Both offset stakes are optional.
