18. With the rod in the general location of the first catch point that
you want to stake, aim toward the prism and tap Shot. The
distance and direction information will be computed and
displayed along with other information pertaining to the shot.
The routine automatically determines if you are staking the left
or right catch point by the proximity of the rod.
Des. Slope
is the design slope of the nearest cut or fill slope when
Automatic Slope is selected, otherwise it is the design slope of the
selected slope.
Obs. Slope
is the observed slope of the terrain at the current rod
location computed from the last shot and the corresponding hinge
point.
Cut
/ Fill is the amount of cut or fill necessary for the rod to be on the
design slope from the current rod location. If this value is zero, you
have located the catch point, provided you are on the correct station.
Away (CL)
indicates that the rod must move the specified horizontal
distance away from the centerline (perpendicular to the centerline
and parallel to the current station) to locate the catch point.
Likewise, Toward CL indicates that the rod must move toward the
centerline by the specified distance.
On Station
indicates you are properly aligned on the current station.
Back Sta
indicates that the rod must move back toward the start of
the alignment (parallel to the centerline) by the specified distance to
be properly aligned over the current station. Likewise, Ahead Sta
indicates that the rod must move away from the start of the
alignment to be positioned over the current station.
The remaining information displays the horizontal and vertical
distances to the hinge point and centerline from the current rod
location.
