Job Menu
R-45
; Use Scale Factor : when checked, horizontal distances to all new
points will be scaled by the factor entered here. (Elevations are not
affected.) This defaults to unchecked when a new job is created.
Compute Scale : this button and the following item can only be used
with a job that contains geodetic coordinates and a map projection
has been configured while in RTK GPS mode. This button will
compute a scale factor based on the current map projection.
; Prompt to Reset Scale on New Setups : if checked when a map
projection is selected and you set up over a new location, the specified
scale factor is compared to the scale factor defined for your current
location in the mapping plane. If the scale factor is different, you will
be prompted to use the new scale factor.
Stakeout Settings
The Stakeout Settings card contains the setting that control how
stakeout is performed. (The settings available depend on if you are
running in conventional or GPS mode.)
; Stake “Corners,” Not Just Even Intervals : When
staking by stations, locations where a line segment
changes, such as from a straight section to a curve, will
also be staked when this is checked.
; Stake Bisector of Non-tangent Corners : When
staking an offset to a centerline that contains a corner,
this option, when checked, will stake the corner point
where the two offsets intersect.
; Always Start Stakeout With Coarse Mode : When
checked, the EDM mode toggle button found in all
stakeout screens will initially be set to coarse mode (fast
shot). This instructs the total station to measure
distances faster, but with slightly less accuracy.
; Use Manual Updating (Remote Control) : When this
is checked, a Shot button in the stakeout screens must be pressed to
take a shot. When this not checked, shots are continuously taken in
the stakeout screens. (This is only valid when running in remote
mode, using a robotic total station.)
