Traverse Now or Later?
After taking a shot with the Traverse button, the
Traverse Now or Later? dialog box will open where you
can specify if you want to traverse now or later .
Traverse Now : expects you to move your total station to
the next occupy point before any additional shots are
taken. The occupy, foresight, and backsight points will
be updated accordingly.
Traverse Later : allows you to take additional side shots
before moving the total station to the next traverse
point. This is useful is you want to take side shots from
the current occupy point, but perform the traverse shot
as the first shot of the current set up to ensure the
highest accuracy.
When you have finished taking side shots, tap the
Traverse button again. You can then select Traverse Now and set
up on the next occupy point, or select Shoot New Traverse to re-shoot
the traverse shot.
New Occupy Point
After traversing to a new point, the New Occupy Point
dialog box will open that informs you of the points that
have been updated and computes the azimuth to the new
backsight.
New Backsight Circle: displays the horizontal angle
that should be displayed on the total station once it is set
up over the New Occupy Point and facing the New
Backsight Point. This angle is typically zero unless you
are surveying in true azimuths, as set in the Surveying
Settings screen (Page R-44).
Height of Instrument: is the new height that the total
station is above the ground.
Send Circle to Instrument : can be used once the
