5. Aim the total station toward the second point, zero the horizontal
angle on the instrument, and tap Solve , then (close).
You are now ready to start your survey.
You may want to take a side shot from the Traverse Sideshot screen
to the backsight point so that you have coordinates for it. The
horizontal angle would remain at zero during this shot.
If you later find true State Plane coordinates for any of the points in
your job, you can use the Translate routine to adjust all the
coordinates accordingly.
Scenario Three
You have one point established on your lot and you know the azimuth
to an observable reference.
Solution
1. Create a job using the coordinates of the established point for the
first point. If the coordinates are unknown, accept the default
coordinates.
2. From the Backsight Setup screen, set the Occupy Point field to the
point that was just created.
3. Setup the total station over the established point.
4. Toggle the . BS Direction . / . BS Point . button to BS Direction . and
enter the azimuth to the observable reference here.
5. Aim the total station toward the observable reference, zero the
horizontal angle on the instrument, and tap Solve , then
(close). If the Always Prompt for Backsight Check option is checked
in the Job > Settings > General screen, you will be prompted to
check your backsight.
If you later find true State Plane coordinates for any of the points in
your job, you can use the Translate routine to adjust all the
coordinates accordingly.
