Slope Staking in Remote Mode
Slope staking in remote control mode functions in nearly
the same way as with a non-remote total station (see
Page 143). The one difference is when using the final
Slope Staking screen, where the catch point is being
located, the graphic portion of the
Horizontal Map and
Vertical Map is updated continuously. This allows the
user at the rod position to watch the movement of the
prism in relation to the slope and easily position the rod
over the catch point.
Note: You can tap in the graphic portion of the screen to
open the graphic in a larger window.
Although the graphic portion of the screen is
continuously updated, the numeric values are not
updated until the
6KRW button is tapped. This is because accurately
locating the catch point depends on measuring an accurate elevation
at the rod position. When the rod is moving, there is no way to
estimate how far the rod is lifted off the ground. Therefore, the
correct procedure for slope staking in remote mode is to use the
graphic portion of the screen to locate the catch point as closely as
possible, position the rod on the ground and press
6KRW. Once the
values are updated, you can determine if the rod needs to be moved
again.
