The second Station Staking screen is used to configure which Station, Surface, and Offset you want to stake.
Use the corresponding

Height of Rod: is the rod height.
[Backsight…]: opens the
screen where you can set your backsight.
[Solve >]: opens the next

Station Staking – Screen 3
[Stakeout] [Station Staking] [Next >] [Solve >]
The third Station Staking screen shows the direction and distance information from the instrument to the selected stake
point.
The Station, Surface, and Offset information is displayed at the top of the screen.
From Instrument to Design Point: lists the direction and distance information used to aim the total station toward the
stake point.
[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 toward the design point, 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 design point.
3. To prevent errors, the backsight set up is invalidated when exiting the Stakeout dialog if this button has been
used. A circle zeroed on a design point is meaningless once the design point has been staked.
4. The first time Circle Zero is used during a stakeout session, a dialog will appear to warn that the original
backsight reference will be lost.
Note: The [Circle Zero] button is not available when using a robotic total station.
[Stake >]: opens the final Station Staking screen used to perform the shots to stakeout the point. This is identical to
the third
Define a Location
[Stakeout] [Define a Location]
The Define a Location screen is used to manually enter the distance and direction to a new point from any existing
reference point and then stakeout the new point.
