Station position is data collection which define the placement (instrument height and disorientation). To create a new position press over icon. 6. Insert position name, instrument height and disorientation. 7. Press to confirm data. Station disorientation could be changed later, modifying station properties or making a measure of a bearing sight. 8. Reading dialog box will appear. 10 DEMO version guide

12 9. Select type of sight to be done: o o o o o o o Bearing sight. The surveying is beared by horizontal angle measured and azimuth calculated by system. In this type of sight, distances are not read. Position disorientation will be modified after doing this type of sight. Point reading. Angles and distance of the viewed point will be saved, and a new point will be generated with this data. Automatically, this point will appear in graphical screen. Traverse foresight. Angles and distances are measured, when carrying traverse calculations out sights that make the outward way will be automatically detected. Moreover, a station with the measured data will be generated if it doesn t exist. Traverse backsight. Angles and distances are measured, when carrying the traverse calculations out the sights that make the return way will be automatically detected. A station with measured data will be generated if doesn t exist. Direct intersection sight. Angles of viewed point are measured. When select carrying direct intersection calculation out system detects automatically which are this type of sights and use them for this calculation. Reverse intersection sight. Reverse intersection sight measuring distances. Angles to viewed point or angles and distances to viewed point are read. It is necessary to create a station with arbitrary coordinates from will be done this sight. Carrying reverse intersection calculation out, system will detect automatically which sights are from this type, using them for that calculation and modifying coordinates of initial station. It is important to well select sight s type because later they will be used to make some calculations. 10. Select layer where measured data will be stored. 11. Insert index point and/or sight name which will be measured. When insert index point, you could use character *, that allows you to number it consecutively. So, you could generate point groups with index P1, P2, P3,... pointed out before as index of point P*. 12. Insert prism height. 13. Press Read. 14. Change to Reading and check measured data and press Save. DEMO version guide 11

13 You could select icon Read and Save measured data. if not necessary to check Automatically the draw of point or station will be shown in graphical screen.

When you minimize the screen, it shows only minimum icons necessary to read points quickly, which allows to take data batteries of the same type and to view a greater graphic display zone and the browser to facilitate sketch. The system will assign points index automatically and, as long as not indicated, it will keep prism height and point s code. 12 DEMO version guide

14 Automatic drawing from codes - Autosketch It exist the possibility of carrying a sketch out from coding, in real time. In order to do that, drawing characteristics associated to each code must be defined, establishing differences among punctual, linear and superficial objects. So, when assigning a code to a point, predefined items will be drawn, obtaining sketch draw in real time during field works. In case of code changes, draw would be updated with introduced changes. Create a new code 1. Create a new code to access Browser. 2. Select icon on left side of Codes. 3. Select Create. 4. The following dialog box will appear to introduce code name. 5. To associate an autosketch to a code, Autosketch checkbox will be marked and following options will be configured: 6. Indicate if autosketch type will be punctual, linear or superficial. 7. Select layer and entity where drawing will be saved, in Generate in entity and Generate in layer. 8. Define draw: o Punctual: Select Object type (circle or symbol) and establish the radius value by default, the size and bearing according to the option o o Lineal: Select a line type and a colour for line. Superficial: Select a type of line, a filling and a colour for close line. If values of 0 for size and bearing are set, the value of these parameters will be asked in draw instant. Codes are assigned while measures are done. Steps are the following: DEMO version guide 13

15 Assign a code to a point Select icon from Reading dialog box. 2. Codes list create in the project will be show. Letter on the left side of selector, points out autosketch type defined for a code: o N, non-defined autosketch. o C, punctual autosketch (circle). o Si, punctual autosketch (symbol). o L, linear autosketch. o S, superficial autosketch. 3. Select code or codes you wish to apply to that point. 4. If you wish, a suffix could be assigned (first list on right side name s code) which determines items collection including this point and size of circle or symbol if necessary (second list on right side name s code). Suffix is used to define several lines with same code or several surfaces. For example points with line-1 code, belongs to one line and points with line-2 code would belong to another different line. When saving points, an associated draw will be automatically assigned and shown on graphical screen in real time. 14 DEMO version guide
