Stake Points – Screen Two

Design point: displays the name of the design
point that was entered in the first screen.
Description: displays the description assigned
to the design point.
Angle Right: is the horizontal angle to turn to
face the design point.
Horz. distance: is the horizontal distance from

the occupy point to the design point.
Vert Distance: is the vertical distance from the

occupy point to the design point.

ZE to Rod: is the zenith angle required to face the prism over the

design point.

Circle Zero : is used to modify the circle on the total station so that

the angle right reading will be zero when it is facing toward the
design point, which can sometimes be easier than turning to an

obscure angle value. When this button is tapped, the following

actions will occur:

1. A new backsight circle value is computed, sent to the

instrument and stored in the raw data

2. The Angle Right value is changed to zero to reflect the change.

The instrument now needs to be turned horizontally to zero to

face the design point.

3. To prevent errors, the backsight set up is invalidated when

exiting the Stakeout dialog if this button has been used. A

circle zeroed on a design point is meaningless once the design
point has been staked.
