Summary
In general, you would follow these steps when you begin working on a
job.
1. Create a new job or open an existing job.
2. Setup over the Occupy Point.
3. Aim the total station toward the backsight and zero the
horizontal angle on the instrument.
4. Fill in the Backsight Setup screen and tap Solve… to open the
Backsight Solved screen.
5. Confirm the BS Circle value is zero and tap Send Circle to zero
the horizontal angle on the instrument, then tap . If the Always
Prompt for Backsight Check option is checked in the Job > Settings
> General screen, you will be prompted to check your backsight.
6. Start your survey.
Note: The backsight circle angle is subtracted from all horizontal
angles that are read during data collection and the resulting points
are adjusted accordingly. This is usually only done when surveying in
true azimuths. This value can be change from the Backsight Circle or
Backsight Solved screens.
Most non-staking related data collection is performed from the
Traverse / Sideshot screen. When you take a shot using the Traverse
button, the routine expects that you will eventually be occupying the
foresight that you are shooting and backsighting your current occupy
point. When you are ready to setup on the next point, the occupy,
foresight and backsight points will automatically be updated
accordingly.
After taking a shot using the Side Shot button, the routine does not
expect the total station to be moved before the next shot and will
therefore only automatically advance the foresight point.
