Point is selected as the Stake Type
when entering Stake-Out.
The list of Target points are those
contained in the Job or ASCII File.
The “as staked” points will always be
stored in the Job. You may also
choose to store the Target points
defined in the ASCII File in the Job. In
this way you have the Target points
and the “as staked” points in one Job.
To stake out a point, select it from the
Target Point List. Press Enter to
expose a list of all points in the Job.
See section 11.3 for a description of
the useful filters and sorting methods
which may be helpful when staking a
lot of points. A particularly useful filter
maybe to filter by Points to Stake.
The measurement to the point will be
displayed as Orthogonal or Polar. Use
the F2 key to switch between the
methods.
If you are a 500 meter (or feet) away
from the target point, the graphical
display will look as follows:
7.5.13 Point Stake-Out - Procedure
The cross and arrow indicate your
current position and direction of
moving. The rectangle points to the
target point and the triangle to the
orientation point. The display is only
updated if you are moving faster than
50cm/sec. If the rectangle is in one
line with the arrow you are heading
towards the target point.
If you are closer than 500 m to the
target point your position with respect
to the Target point is shown in an-
other graphical display. The scale
shown on the left side of the display
will change as you get closer to the
point. The stages are 500m, 100m,
25m, 5m, 1m and 0.5m. Note that the
orientation direction is denoted by the
arrow at the top center. When the
Reverse function is activated, this
arrow will appear bottom center of the
graphical display.
