Conventional Fieldwork

d. The new point is computed and stored

and the Traverse Now or Later prompt

will open, shown here, asking if you
want to advance to the new point now

or later. For this example, tap the

Traverse Now

button. The New

Occupy Point dialog box will open,

shown here, which displays details of
the new setup. You can see that the

previous foresight point is now the

current occupy point and the previous
occupy point is now the current

backsight point.

e. Since we are running in manual mode

and cannot send data to an instrument,

tap (close). You will notice at the top
of the Traverse Sideshot screen that the

occupy point has been updated to 4, the

backsight is updated to 1, and the
foresight is updated to 5, which is the
next available point name.

Note: If you select to traverse later, the traverse point is still stored,

but you will then have the opportunity to shoot additional side shots
before you advance to the next point. This is useful when you want to

shoot the traverse shot first, before any settling occurs to the tripod.

In that situation, when you are ready to advance, you would tap

Traverse again where you would then answer to a prompt that asks if

you are ready to advance or re-shoot the traverse point. (If you select

to re-shoot the traverse point, the previous traverse point is stored as
a side shot.)
