4.3.3.3. Detail Points
 
When setting out detail points, a measured line must first be defined. If this line is not defined, it will be queried when the function is called up. By clicking the button <Define Line>, the line can be altered at any time during the setting out.
 
Setting out detail points using GPS:
 
After the measured line has been defined, the Setting Out dialog appears as follows:
In order to set out the detail points, the detail point quantities for X and Y of the measured line must be entered. The zero point (origin) of the local coordinate system used is the first point of the defined measured line. The X-axis is described by the measured line. The Y-axis runs perpendicular to this line. The standard values for the stake out are calculated as soon as the OK button is pressed.
 
The point to be staked out and the remote target can be entered either via the point number or by clicking the point in the graphic.
 
The functions in this window correspond to those of the window Input > Measurement.
 
If the button <OK> is pressed, the deviation of the current position in relation to the remote target is calculated and displayed both numerically and graphically. 
 
Shown is:
 

LE

longitudinal deviation from line

QE

transverse deviation from line

dS

linear deviation

dZ

deviation in Height

 
The deviation of the current position from the point to be staked out is represented in the graphic screen by an error triangle. For TPS receivers, a compass in the upper left-hand corner shows the difference between True Heading and azimuth. If the arrow points upwards, you are moving directly towards the target point. 
 
When you want to save the coordinates of the point to be staked out, press the <Save>-button.
 
The detail point quantities X and Y can be altered at any time. With the button <OK> the new detail point quantities can be updated at any time as a reference point for the setting out. 
 
In the menu Initial > Constants > GPS you can deactivate the function Auto-Zoom. In this manner, the graphic section you have selected always remains visible in the display of GART-2000® CE, whereas an activated Auto-Zoom during the measurement delivers a tracking view of the current position.
 
Pressing the button <Plot> changes the view into a polar representation of the setting-out situation. In this way, the point to be staked out can be located within the vicinity.
 
Information on left side on screen denotes:
 

dE

difference Easting

dN

difference Northing

dZ

difference of the Heights

dS

linear deviation

 
The other buttons correspond to the Measurement dialog.

 
Setting out Detail points with Total Station:
  
After the measured line has been defined, the dialog for setting out the detail points appears as follows:
In order to set out the detail points, the detail point quantities for X and Y of the measured line must be entered. The zero point (origin) of the local coordinate system used is the first point of the defined measured line. The X-axis is described by the measured line. The Y-axis runs perpendicular to this line. Subsequently, the standard values for the stake out are calculated.
 
The measurement can be triggered by various buttons. <All> triggers an overall measurement, <BuildRef.> and <Ex-c> trigger a measurement to a reflector. When using the <Ex-centers> button, the amount of horizontal eccentricity is queried, and the amount of spatial eccentricity is queried when <Ex-c> is used.
 
The button "<>" switches into the control mode in the case of automatic tachymeters.
 
Deviations are shown in the following data:
 

dX

deviation from line in X

dY

deviation from line in Y

dS

linear deviation

LE

longitudinal deviation from line

QE

transverse deviation from line

dZ

deviation in Height

 
On pressing the button <Save MV>, the Measurement Registration dialog appears automatically.
 
With <X> the dialog can be quitted.
