Review Direct-Reverse Report

: This button will allow you to select the occupied point ID from a list of points

that were used with set collection. The software will then generate a report of all of the sets measured from the

specified occupation point.

In the figure above, select a point number and tap OK to view the report. The report is shown below.

Leveling

This routine allows you to run trigonometric level loops using a total station or digital level loops using a digital level.

There are also manual entry modes available for both types of level loops. The raw data collected for a total station is

slope distance, zenith angle and prism height. For digital levels, the vertical difference and if available, the horizontal

distance is stored in the raw data file.

The calculation routines assume there is only one loop per level file. A benchmark is required at the beginning of the

loop (BM+) and a benchmark is required at the end of the loop (BM-). After the BM+, measurements back to a known

elevation (TP-) and measurements forward to establish an elevation (TP+) are alternated. Any number of side shots to

points (SS-) or stations (STA-) is allowed while traversing. Spurs (series of TP+ and TP- measurements off the main

loop) are allowed and will be adjusted correctly. A spur after the BM- is allowed.

The opening dialog is where you set up the level loop. If road files are used, an additional tab in the leveling

measurement screen will be made available for entering station and offset data. To use a digital level instead of the

current total station, click the Select button to the right of the Instrument and choose from the available options, which

include Manual 3-Wire, Manual 1-Wire, Manual Digital Level and Sokkia SDL. Manual Total Station entry can also be

done by choosing Manual Total Station on the EQUIP tab.
