Remote Elevation

If you set your base on a point with known elevation, you can begin

collecting data right away. However, if your base station is on a new
point, then you should calculate the elevation of the base and create

or update a vertical site before collecting new data. This can be done

in conjunction with horizontal localization, or you can use the Remote
Elevation screen.

You can use the Remote Elevation screen to

occupy a vertical benchmark with the rover.
Applying the results of the occupation will

update the base point elevation and create a

new one-point vertical localization without
entering the Solve Localization wizard. This

procedure will not effect the horizontal
localization adjustment.
The following conditions must be met in order

to use the Remote Elevation routine.

• The base and rover must be set.
• You must be using a geoid model as part of your vertical

coordinate system.

• The horizontal coordinate system must be solved.

1. Open the Survey > Remote Elevation screen.
2. If your benchmark is not in the job file, select the Add Benchmark

checkbox, enter the Elevation, and specify a new point number in

the New Point field.
