 Other Tab (for D&R Measurements)
: This tab contains settings for how to use direct and reverse (D&R)
measurements. For the vertical angles, you can balance the direct and reverse measurements or use Direct-Only.
When you have Foresight measurements and Backsight measurements (e.g. slope distance/zenith angles) between
the same points (e.g. reciprocals) in Direct and Reverse surveys, you can Balance Foresight-Backsight
measurements (apply reciprocals) or use the Foresight data only. For purposes of warning screens, you can also set
the Angle Tolerance and Distance Tolerance for Direct and Reverse measurement processing.
Process No Adjust
This command processes the RW5 file and computes coordinate values for the surveyed data. No angle balance or
traverse adjustment is applied. The Process Raw Data Options dialog shown below appears after selecting Process No
Adjust.
You can report the traverse only or compute all measurements by clicking on Report Sideshots. If you click on Report
Closure
, then you need to specify a Reference Closing Point ID, which is the point that the last traverse point is
closing to, or trying to match. The Reference Closing Point ID is not a point in the traverse—it is the point the
traverse is trying to close on. It can be entered as a point ID or a coordinate.
Note:
To preserve coordinate values of the initial setup and backsight, particularly with D&R measurements involved,
it is recommended that Redundancies be set to Average by Distance Measurement , if averaging is used.
Pressing OK leads to the calculation and the report screen for Process No Adjust.
