Scenario One
You know the coordinates and locations for two points on your lot and
want to occupy one and use the other as a backsight.
Solution
1. Create a job using the coordinates for one of the known points as
the first point.
2. Use the Edit Points routine to add a second point using the
coordinates for the remaining known point.
3. From the Backsight Setup screen, set the Occupy Point field to the
point number of one known point and setup the total station over
that point.
4. Toggle the
%6 'LUHFWLRQ
/
%6 3RLQW
button to
%6 3RLQW
and
enter the point name for the second known point in that field.
20. Aim the total station toward the other point, zero the horizontal
angle on the instrument, and tap
6ROYH , then &ORVH . If the
Always Prompt for Backsight Check option is checked in the Job |
Settings | General screen, you will be prompted to check your
backsight.
You are now ready to start your survey.

them, but you do not have coordinates for either.
Solution
1. Create a job using the default coordinates for the first point.
2. From the Backsight Setup screen, set the Occupy Point field to the
point that was just created.
3. Setup the total station over the point where the known azimuth is
referenced.
