Stakeout
19. Shooting a leveling stakeout point is similar to a
leveling side shot in that it must be done before
shooting a benchmark or turning point from any
particular setup, and once complete, you will
return to the Level screen where the next shot
type is selected, without advancing to the next
setup.
Enter the point from the current job that you
want to stake in the Stk Point field and tap
Next > to take the necessary shots in your
shooting sequence, as described in Step 7.
Since the horizontal coordinates cannot be
computed from the leveling routine, it is
assumed you already know the location of the
stake point and only want to measure the elevation for that
location to compute a cut/fill value.
Adjustment
The Leveling > Adjustment screen can be used to remove the error
computed from any existing closed loop. This is a simple arithmetic
adjustment where the computed error can be either distributed
equally among each setup in the loop, or a weighted adjustment can
be distributed where setups that are farther apart will carry more of
the error adjustment than those that are closer together.
See the Reference manual for more information on performing a level
loop error adjustment.
