4. Aim the total station toward the prism located at the side of the
new point and tap
6KRRW 3ULVP . The new point will be stored as a
side shot.
Note: The center shot and the prism shot can be taken in either
order.
Vertical Angle Offset Screen
The Vertical Angle Offset screen is used to store a new point that is
located directly above, or directly below the rod location. The routine
requires two shots by the total station, one at the prism, and one in
the direction of the new point.
This example explains how to store a point that is located above the
rod – such as at the top of a utility pole.
1. From the Main Menu, tap
6XUYH\ ,
9HUW $QJOH 2IIVHW or use the
Ctrl
-[Q]
hotkey. If you have not already setup your
backsight, you will need to do so before the
Horizontal Angle Offset Shot screen will
open.
2. With the prism positioned directly below
the location of the new point, aim the total
station at the prism and tap
6KRRW 3ULVP .
3. Aim the total station at the new point and
tap
$LP =HQLWK . (Only a zenith angle is measured during this
shot so a prism is not necessary.) A new point will be stored
with the same northing and easting as the rod location, but
with a different elevation.
