Steering Tool Job Information Dialog Box
You must enter a typical rod length (cannot be 0) in the Rod Length Information field. The rod length units
may be feet (ft) or meters (m) and can be changed in the
Edit | Display Units
menu.
In the Reference Heading area, enter the same reference heading value (unit in degrees) that you have
set in the remote display (it can be 0). To use the heading recorded at Rod 0 as the reference heading,
check the box next to “Use Rod 0 Ref. Hdg.”
In the Survey Point Elevation Change area of the dialog box, the elevation units may be feet (ft) or meters
(m) and can be changed and can be changed in the
Edit | Display Units
menu. Check the box next to
“Do Not Use Reference Elevation” if the bore is not to be mapped in reference to a surveyed elevation
marker near the bore. This value will appear in the profile chart title line.
If the drill enters the ground at some elevation other than the ground topography at the start of a bore, in
a pit for example, then enter the depth deviation from the ground (the 0 reference line of the profile view
of the bore) next to “Rel. Elev. At Entry” (-2 in the example above).
If the drill enters the ground at some distance left, L, or right, R, of where the reference heading was set,
enter the lateral distance of
the offset next to “Lat. Offset At Entry” (5 R in the example above).
