The instructions given are controlled by the settings in Configure, View Pt tab. In this case, the instructions are In-Out,
Left-Right facing the instrument from the perspective of the rod or prism. This would be a typical configuration for
running as a one-man crew working from the rod and facing a robotic total station. In the "bullseye" diagram, the target
point is the center of the bullseye, the instrument is shown relative to the target point (which is at the top of the circle if
due North) and the backsight is shown as a square target relative to the instrument. Your position is shown as a triangle,
with tracking on (or with GPS). As you look at the instrument, you need to go Left to the center of the circle and back
up or go Out. You can report the measurement or the actual coordinate based on the setting at the bottom of the screen,
and your instructions can be set dynamically, within the stakeout screen, without needing to return to Configuration, by
using the pulldown options in the middle right of the screen (current setting is In-Out, Left-Right). Your goal in Text
mode is to get to the middle of the circle.
Another feature of Text mode is that when you enter a description, the program uses the full screen to display available
descriptions and automatically scrolls to the descriptions that begin with the letters or numbers that have been entered.
In the example below, the entry of "31" scrolls to the descriptions beginning with 31.
Click the one you want and then press Enter on the keyboard to return to Stakeout.
Stake Line/Arc
This command opens a secondary dialog where you can choose between Define Line (single line, no curves), Define
Alignments, Define Arc (3 points), and Define Arc (PC, PT, Value). If within the Configure option, "Prompt for Total
Station Setup" is clicked on for total station work, the Stake Line/Arc command will go first to the backsight screen.
Stake Station Interval:
The Stake Station Interval option, when clicked on, leads to a dialog that includes the station
and offset to stake and the interval to increment. It allows the staking of particular locations on an alignment. When
