15.SETTING-OUT MEASUREMENT
Setting-out measurement is used to set out the required point.
The difference between the previously input data to the instrument (the setting-out data) and the measured
value can be displayed by measuring the horizontal angle, distance or coordinates of the sighted point.
The horizontal angle difference and distance difference are calculated and displayed using the following
formulae.
• Setting out data can be input in various modes: coordinates, horizontal distance, slope distance, height
difference and REM measurement.
• In slope distance, horizontal distance, height difference, and coordinate mode, registered coordinates can be
recalled and used as setting-out coordinates. In slope distance, horizontal distance and height difference, S/
H/V distances are calculated from the read in setting-out coordinate, instrument station data, instrument
height, and target height.
• EDM settings can be set in the Setting-out measurement menu.
• If not measured or the space is left blank “Null” will be displayed.
If distance or angle of setting-out data is set to “Null” the Distance difference is automatically set to “Null”
• If the S-O data is set in the display other than <S-O Coord>, when the display is returned to <S-O Coord>,
the data that has been input will be deleted.
After setting the coordinates for the point to be set out, the iM calculates the setting-out horizontal angle and
horizontal distance. By selecting the horizontal angle and then the horizontal distance setting-out functions, the
required coordinate location can be set out.
• To find the Z coordinate, attach the target to a pole etc. with the same target height.
