Shoot From Two Ends

The Shoot From Two Ends screen is used to provide more
accurate vertical closure to a traverse. The routine requires

that after the foresight is shot, its location is not computed

until after the foresight point is occupied and a second shot is
taken to the previous occupy point. Once the second shot is

complete, the coordinates for the original foresight are

computed from an average of both shots.

1. From the Main Menu, select Survey , Shoot From 2 Ends .

If you have not already setup your backsight, you will need
to do so before the Shoot From Two Ends screen will open.

2. Fill in the screen, including the number of sets that

you want to shoot from each point in the Number of
Sets field.

3. Tap Traverse , aim toward the backsight and tap

Take Shot .

4. Shoot the specified number of sets to the backsight

and foresight. When finished, the Move To Other
End dialog box will open, shown here. At this point

you need to move the total station over the current

foresight point, place a prism over the current occupy
point, fill in the dialog and tap . A new screen will

open.

5. Aim at the prism located over the previous occupy

point and tap Take Shot . You will then need to

shoot the specified number of sets to the previous occupy point.

When the final set is complete, a screen will inform you of your new

occupy and backsight point and the new point will be computed and

stored.
