Stakeout
19. Shooting a leveling stakeout point is
similar to a leveling side shot in that it
must be done before shooting a
benchmark or turning point from any
particular setup, and once complete,
you will return to the Level screen
where the next shot type is selected,
without advancing to the next setup.
Enter the point from the current job
that you want to stake in the Stk Point
field and tap Next > to take the
necessary shots in your shooting sequence, as described in
Step 7.
Since the horizontal coordinates cannot be computed from the
leveling routine, it is assumed you already know the location
of the stake point and only want to measure the elevation for
that location to compute a cut/fill value.
Adjustment
The Leveling > Adjustment screen can be used to remove the error
computed from any existing closed loop. This is a simple arithmetic
adjustment where the computed error can be either distributed
equally among each setup in the loop, or a weighted adjustment can
be distributed where setups that are farther apart will carry more of
the error adjustment than those that are closer together.
See the Reference manual for more information on performing a level
loop error adjustment.
