•
PC Deflection : provides deflection angles and
distances to each station on the curve as if
occupying the PC and backsighting the PI. The
results are given in the following format:
o Station : is the current station on the curve.
o Deflection : is the angle to turn to the current
station.
o Long chord : is the distance from the PC to
the current station.
o Short chord : is the distance from the
