Stakeout Menu
R-303
Curve and Offset – Screen Two
Station to Stake: is the desired station on the curve that
you want to stake.
Station Interval: is the value that is added to the Station
to Stake after the Next Sta button is pressed.
Next Sta : advances the Station to Stake by the Station
Interval.
Offset: is the horizontal distance of the offset from the
specified curve. The offset occurs on the left (while
viewing the curve from the PC) when the L is selected or
on the right when the R is selected.
Note: An offset of zero would result in the specified
curve being staked.
V. Offset : will result in the elevations for the design points to be
adjusted by the value entered here and will change the cut / fill
values accordingly. Design elevations will be lower when D is
selected, and higher when U is selected.
Grade : specifies a slope from the specified curve to the offset that
is being staked. When this is a non-zero value, the elevation for the
staked points will increasingly differ from the corresponding design
elevations on the specified curve as the Offset value increases.
Height of Rod: is the length of the rod.
< Back : returns to the previous screen.
Solve> : accesses the third Stake Curve and Offset screen, described
next.
Note: A motorized total station will automatically turn toward the
design point after tapping Solve> , depending on the configuration of
the Stakeout Settings screen (Page R-45).
