Stakeout Example

When setting up to perform stakeout, the requirements are nearly
the same as with data collection. You need an existing occupy point,

backsight point or direction, and a foresight. The main difference is

existing points are being located during stakeout rather than new
points being collected.
In the example below, all of the steps required to perform a simple

point-staking job are explained from the initial setup to the staking
itself. For consistency, this example assumes you are running Survey

Pro in manual mode so the shot data will need to be input from the
keypad. Since the software behaves differently in manual mode

compared to when using a total station, the differences are noted

where applicable.

For this example we will use the job that was created with the

Traverse / Side Shot Example, above. When staking the first point,

we will take two shots to the prism to "home-in" on the design point.
When staking the second point, we will only take one shot combined

with the Store/Tape routine to store the stake point.
