background image

The third Stake Road screen displays distance, direction, and other information about the point to be staked.

Station: displays the station where the stake point occurs and the type of line segment it falls on in the alignment.

Segment: displays the name of the segment tangent to the point to be staked; if the point is on the Left or Right side of
the road; and the specified offset, if any.

Angle Right: is the horizontal angle from the backsight to the stake point.

Horz Dist: is the horizontal distance from the total station to the stake point.

Vert Dist: is the vertical distance from the total station to the stake point.

ZE to Rod: is the zenith angle from the total station to 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.

Note: The [Circle Zero] button is not available when using a robotic total station.

[< Back]: returns to the

previous

screen.

[Stake >]: opens the

final

Stake Road screen where the shots to the stake point are performed.

Stake Road - Screen 4

The fourth and final Stake Road screen is used to perform the shots necessary to locate the design point. This screen is
identical to the final

Stake Points

screen.

Road Slope Staking

[Roads] [Slope Staking]

The Road Slope Staking screen is used to locate the catch point of the road at any station.

[Tap Road…]: opens the Tap on a Road screen where you can tap on any road in the job to select it.

Name: displays the name of the selected road.

Begin Station: displays the station assigned to the beginning of the road.

End Station: displays the final station in the road.
