location (when U is selected).

[> Grade]: specifies a slope from the specified line to the parallel line that is being staked. When this is a non-zero
value, the elevation for the staked points will increasingly differ from the design elevations as the Offset value
increases.

Height of rod: is the length of the rod.

[Backsight…]: opens the

Station Setup

screen.

[< Back]: returns to the

previous screen

.

[Solve>]: opens the third

Stake Line and Offset

screen, described next.

Note: A motorized total station will automatically turn toward the design point after pressing [Solve>] depending on
the configuration of the

Stakeout Settings

screen.

Stake Line and Offset – Screen 3

Station: displays the current station that is being staked.

H. Offset: displays the offset distance of the line being staked from the specified line and if it is on the Right or Left
side of the specified line.

From Instrument to Design Point: displays the direction and distance that the total station must aim toward so that it
is facing the current station.

[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.

[< Back]: returns to the

previous screen

.

[Stake >]: opens the fourth Stake Line and Offset screen, which is identical to the third

Stake Points

screen.

Note: Tap the graphic portion of the screen for an expanded view.
