10. COORDINATE MEASUREMENT
After inputting instrument height and target height, it is possible to find the 3-dimensional coordinates for the target
based on station point coordinates and azimuth angle.
It is possible to set the azimuth angle of a backsight station by entering the coordinates of the instrument station and
a known point (backsight station) and then sighting at the backsight station.
The following preparations are needed for coordinate measurement.
Station point coordinates setting
Azimuth angle setting
·
For the coordinate measurement method, see “7.4 Setting the Instrument Options”.
There are two modes of coordinate measurement:
1)
From MENU program, it saves only coordinate data.
2)
From REC. program, it can save angle/ distance/ coordinate/ di coordinate, measurement data can be
automatically saved. (refer to chapter 21. DATA RECORDING IN RECORD MODE)
10.1 Entering Instrument Station Data
Before coordinate measurement, enter instrument station coordinates, the instrument height, target height.
·
Use a tape to measure the instrument height and target height.
·
It is possible to set coordinate data into instrument.
·
It is possible to record the set instrument station data in the JOB which has been selected. For the JOB selection
method, see “20.1 JOB Selection”.
·
It is also possible to perform coordinate measurement when MENU on the third page of the MEAS mode is
pressed to enter Menu Mode, then “1. Coordinate” is selected.
