Performing a Resection
Setup the total station over the location where you want to compute
coordinates. Be sure that at least two known points are in view from
this location. (The known points must already be stored in the
current job.)
1. Tap . Survey , Resection from the Main Menu.
2. Enter the occupy point name that you want to
compute in the Store Pt field.
3. Enter the number of known points that are in view
that you will shoot in the Total Resect Points to Shoot
field. You must shoot at least two and no more than
seven.
4. Enter the number of shots (forward and reverse) that
you want to take to each known point in the Shots
per Resect Point field.
5. In the Sequence field, specify if you want to perform
Direct Only shots to each known point or Direct and
Reverse shots.
6. Tap Solve… after each field is correctly filled in. A
new screen will open where you can shoot a resection
point.
7. Enter the name of the point that you plan to shoot in
the Resect Point field.
8. If you are shooting more than two resection points,
you have the option of taking Distance and Angle
measurements with each shot or Angle Only
measurements by making the appropriate selection
from the Option pull-down menu.
Note: The Angle Only option allows you to perform all
shots without the use of a prism, but the resulting
occupy point that is computed will not have an elevation
associated with it.
