the backsight circle can be changed, or the circle reading on the total
station can be set remotely.

Check Backsight Dialog Box
The Check Backsight screen is used to help confirm that the total
station is facing the correct backsight by comparing the known
distance or circular angle to the backsight with the measured value.
%\ 'LVWDQFH : will take a shot to a prism located
over the backsight point and compare the
measured distance with the computed distance
between the occupy and backsight points stored
in the current job.
Note: The Check by Distance method does not
apply if the backsight is defined by a direction.
%\ $QJOH : when the backsight is defined by a
direction, this routine will read the current horizontal angle from the
total station and compare that to the backsight direction.
&LUFOH« : accesses the Backsight Circle dialog box, described below.
