[Layout]: computes the location of the Current Station.

Results

Station: is the current station.

Deflection: is the horizontal angle to the current station as if occupying the TS and backsighting the Spiral PI.

Long crd.: is the chord length from the TS to the current station.

Short crd.: is the chord length from the previous station to the current station.

Traverse on Spiral

[Curve] [Spiral]

The Traverse on Spiral screen is used to compute the location of, and optionally store the SC, or ST and spiral PI
points.

Radius: is the radius of the circular curve.

Length: is the length along the spiral curve from TS to SC.

TS / CS Point: is the existing point associated with the TS or CS point.

[Azimuth] / [Bearing]: is the tangent direction at the TS or CS point.

TS->SC: specifies that the curve starts at the tangent to spiral and ends at the spiral to curve.

CS->ST: specifies that the curve starts at the curve to spiral and ends at the spiral to tangent.

Right / Left: specifies is the curve turns toward the right or left as you face the spiral from the TS or CS.

Store SC / ST: When checked, saves a point for the computed SC point.

Store PI: When checked, saves a point for the computed spiral PI.

Results

Tangent: the tangent direction entering the spiral at the TS or CS.

Tangent Out: the tangent direction exiting the spiral at the SC or ST.

X of Throw: is the distance along the tangent where a perpendicular line intersects with the radius point.

Y of Throw: is the minimum distance between the tangent and the extended circular curve.

X: is the distance from the TS to the SC along the tangent.

Y: is distance from the SC to the tangent.

Delta: is the angle between the tangent, and the line between the PI and SC.
