4.6.7 Guidance Feature
The Guide feature can serve two purposes in the field for layout.
●
One use for the Guide feature is to help get the rod person on the layout point faster and more
accurately. This is accomplished by showing the instrument person distance instructions which are
then passed on to the rod person. The distance instructions are to move (BACK), towards the
instrument, (GO) away from the instrument, and to move (RIGHT) or (LEFT) to get back online with
the layout point. The (RIGHT) and (LEFT) instructions are helpful when the rod person is very close
to the layout point. Please refer to the diagram and instructions below.
●
Another feature that layout accomplishes is the cut or fill information. Using the last rod height
previously entered, the Total Station will display the cut (DOWN) or fill (UP) information to the
instrument person.
