9.2 Staking out 

Staking out is to find the earth point needed when 

designing. The common process to stake out is as followed: 

1. Select a file for staking out to access to and transfer 

coordinate of STA and BBS and data of staking-out point etc. 

2. Setup STA 

3. Setup BBS 

4. Enter the staking out coordinate and start staking-out. 

The Menu for staking out is as followed: 

 

The „Setup Station‟ and „Orientation (BBS)‟ are the 

preparation work for staking out. If users have already setup 

station and orientation of BBS, re-setting them are not 

necessary.
