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 119). 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.
