Next. Layout Pro then computes the
coordinates of the stake point.
With a mechanical total station, rotate the instrument
in order to zero the angle to the stake point. When
done, the instrument is on line with the point to be
staked. Get the rod holder on the same line and tap
Shoot to take a measurement. The angle value is shown
in bold red on the screen, with right/left direction arrow
(see example below left).
With a robotic total station, enable the LockNGo
function and run a target search to lock the instrument
onto the target. The instrument starts updating
distances continuously (the EDM automatically
changes to Tracking mode) and shows map guidance to
the point location.
