3. Set the Horizontal, Zenith, and Distance Tolerances in
the appropriate fields. The direct shots for each set
are compared to the corresponding reverse shots. If
any of the angles or distances exceeds the specified
tolerances, the Repetition Error dialog box, shown
here, will open that asks what you want to do. You
have the following choices:
• Retry : Re-shoot only the last set.
• Continue : Continue and use the shot anyway.
• Cancel : Throw out all sets and start over.
4. If the Shoot Distance To Backsight checkbox is
selected, distances will also be measured with each
shot to the backsight and compared against the
specified Distance Tolerance. This option, of course, would require
a prism to be setup over the backsight point.
5. The Do Not Shoot Reverse Distances checkbox is available for
people that use total stations that cannot measure distances
when in the inverted, face two, position. Check this if you use this
type of total station.
6. The Enable Automatic Repetition checkbox is for users with
motorized total stations. When this is checked, the first shot to
the backsight and foresight is performed normally, but when
those shots are complete the total station will perform all the
remaining shots for each set automatically unless the user
interrupts the sequence.
7. The Shooting Sequence defines the order that the forward and
reverse shots are performed for each set. The notation used
should be read where the > symbol indicates to aim the telescope
to the next point and the ^ symbol indicates that the total station
should be flopped from face one to face two or vice versa. Each
option is explained below.
• BS > FS ^ FS > BS: Shoot backsight, shoot foresight, reverse
scope, shoot foresight, shoot backsight
• BS > FS ^> BS > FS: Shoot backsight, shoot foresight, reverse
scope, shoot backsight, shoot foresight
