[Circle Zero]: is used to modify the circle on the total station so that the angle right reading will be zero when it is
facing the current target, which can sometimes be easier than turning to an obscure angle value. When this button is
tapped, the following actions will occur:
1. A new backsight circle value is computed, sent to the instrument and stored in the raw data
2. The Angle Right value is changed to zero to reflect the change. The instrument now needs to be turned
horizontally to zero to face the current target location.
3. To prevent errors if this button is used, the backsight set up is invalidated when exiting the Stakeout dialog. A
circle zeroed on a design point is meaningless once the design point has been staked.
Note: The [Circle Zero] button is not available when using a robotic total station.
Offset Staking – Screen 5
Height of Rod: is the length of the rod.
Design Elev: displays the current design elevation, which can be modified with the [Change…] button.
FORWARD / BACK: indicates if the rod must move forward (toward the total station) or backward (away from the
total station).
Go RIGHT / Go LEFT: indicates if the rod must move to the right or left from the total station’s point of view.
EDM: This button can be toggled to shoot in various EDM modes. The options available depend on the total station
being used. Consult the total station’s documentation for more information on the EDM modes that it supports.
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.
[Change…]: is used to modify the current design elevation, which will also modify the associated CUT/FILL value
for the current station being staked.
[Shot]: takes a shot to the prism and computes come/go, cut/fill information.
Shot data: displays the measurements from the last shot.
[Store/Tape…]: opens the
screen where the staked point can be stored that includes a
specified offset. The default value is the appropriate distance correction to the design point.
[Topo SS…]: stores a side shot using the data from the last shot taken. (This will not take a new shot.)
[Turn Instrument]: (available with robotic total station) turns the total station toward the design point.
[Stake Next >]: returns you to the second
screen, without storing a stake point, where the Design point
