COGO tab
Keyboard Input : Allows you
to manually enter or edit coor-
dinates in the current job file
or the current control file
Inverse : Reports the bearing
and horizontal distance be-
tween any two user specified
points that are contained with-
in the current job
Areas : Calculates the area of a
closed figure that is defined
internally by user-entered
point numbers contained
within the current job or by a
polyline picked from the screen
Intersections : Allows for the calculation and storing of points based upon standard
surveying practices of Bearing-Bearing, Bearing-Distance, or Distance-Distance
Intersection calculations
Point Projection : Allows you to calculate the station and offset of any entered or
surveyed point relative to a known centerline or baseline
Station Store : A pure calculation routine that will create point numbers based on a
station and offset from an alignment
Transformation : Allows you to translate, rotate, and/or scale points in the current
job
Calculator : Eliminates the need to carry a separate calculator in the field. The cal-
culator can be used to do scientific computations, standard calculations, conver-
sions, triangle calculations including angles, and curve calculations.
Process Raw File : Creates a raw file (.RW5) that contains various lines of survey
data similar to a surveyor’s field book
Point in Direction : Allows for manual entry of angles and distances and calculates
sideshots or traverses from a known occupied point.
