Stake Spiral and Offset – Screen Two
Station to Stake: is the desired station on the spiral
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
spiral curve. The offset occurs on the left (while viewing
the spiral from the Start Point) when the L is selected or
on the right when R is selected.
Note: An offset of zero would result in the spiral curve
itself 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 is selected,
and higher when U is selected.
Grade : specifies a slope from the spiral curve to the curve 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 spiral curve as the Offset value increases.
Height of rod: is the length of the rod.
Backsight… : accesses the Backsight Setup screen (Page R-114).
< Back : returns to the previous screen.
Solve> : accesses the third screen, described next.
Note: A motorized total station will automatically turn toward the
design point after pressing Solve> depending on the configuration of
the Stakeout Settings screen (Page R-45).
