What to Do Next
With the azimuth to the backsight known, you can now perform the
following steps to begin your survey.
1. Without moving from the occupy point used while performing the
solar observation, note the computed average azimuth from the
Solar Observation Results screen.
2. From the Main Menu, access the . Survey , Backsight Setup
screen.
3. Toggle the BS Point / BS Direction button to BS Direction and enter
the computed azimuth in that field.
Tip: You can use the power button and select the Past results…
option to select, and automatically enter, the azimuth computed from
the sun shot earlier.
4. Fill in the remaining fields with your current information and tap
Solve.
5. Access the . Survey , Traverse / Sideshot screen, aim toward the
backsight used during the solar observation, zero your horizontal
angle on the total station and tap either Side Shot or Traverse.
The data collected should be aligned correctly with true north or
your local state plane coordinate system.
