After pressing soft key ‘F1’, a dialog box of ‘Information’ appears on the screen to
ask you to enter ‘Point name’, ‘Code’ and ‘Target Height’. The natural name of the
point is to add ‘1’ to the previous point name. The code entered depends on your
requirements and the target height depends on facts. Press ‘ENT’ to save
measurement. If having not selected file at first when pressing ‘Save’
under Coordinate Mode, a dialog box of ‘Select File’ will appear on the screen
before ‘information’. You may now select file for saving. When the measurement
is out of the scope of the compensator, the instrument will display ‘Tilt over’ and
the distance measurement doesn’t work and the coordinate data can’t be stored. If
the measurement is saved successfully, it displays box of ‘Record: ****** ’ for 0.5
second and switches back to the Coordinate Mode.
Meas:
Press soft key ‘F2’ to start EDM. The instrument will calculate out the
coordinates of the target point and display the results. If the current distance
measurement mode is continuing or tracking, you may press ‘ESC’ to quit
distance measurement, otherwise press ’ANG’ or ‘DIST’ to stop distance
measurement and switch to Angle or Distance Mode.
