Step 6: Logging point data (ATTRI-
BUTION\)
In this step, you will collect the spatial
attribute (position information) for
your Pole (point) code.
It is time to check again the icons on
the top of the display. The position
icon should be available, the position
mode icon still indicates “moving”, the
“number of satellites visible” icon
should display a number greater or at
least 4, and the number of used
satellites will generally be the same
as the number of visible satellites, if
you are in a relatively open area.
Pressing F4 OFFS will allow you to
enter an offset to the desired point
code. You can enter this offset in one
of four ways:
• Bearing and Distance
• Double Bearing
• Double Distance
• Backward Bearing & Distance
The GS50 / GS50+ interfaces to a
number of laser range finders that will
allow you to accurately measure
offset distances and angles. The
following laser range finders are
supported:
• Leica Disto memo (distance only)
• Leica Disto pro (distance only)
• Leica Disto TM pro 4 (distance only)
• Leica Disto TM pro 4 a (distance only)
• Laser Ace 300
• Criterion 400
• Criterion Compatible
• Leica Vector
• Leica Laser Locator
• Leica Laser Locator Plus
You can configure your GS50 /
GS50+ to interface with your laser
range finder from the
CONFIGURE\OFFSET panel. Please
see the technical reference manual
for more information.
As soon as you are tracking a mini-
mum of 4 satellites, the accuracy icon
is visible (indicating good position
quality), and the antenna is positioned
close to the feature, you should press
F1 OCUPY.
This activates logging of raw data and
the panel changes accordingly.
