5. Ask the rod person to adjust the target position. When the target is on the
intended position, the displayed errors become 0.000 m (0.000 ft).
Once a measurement is taken, the Cut/Fill value and Z coordinate are updated
as the VA is changed.
6. To record the point, press [ENT]. The PT field
defaults to the specified PT + 1000.
Press [MENU] and then select Settings / Rec.
Use the Add Constant field to specify an integer.
The integer is added to the point number that is
being laid out to generate a new number for
recording the layout point. The default value is
1000. For example, when you stake out PT3 with
an Add Constant of 1000, the default value in the
SO field (layout record) is 1003.

Curvature and refraction corrections
Because the surface of the earth is curved, the vertical difference (VD and Z) at the
measurement point, as referenced to the horizontal plane, inevitably includes some
error. This error is called curvature error. Also, because the density of the air
surrounding the earth decreases with altitude, light is refracted at different rates at
different altitudes. The error caused by this change in refraction is called refraction
error.

SS and F1 records
Raw SS and F1 records contain PT, HT, CD, HA, VA, and SD fields.
SS records are sideshots (topo shots). All shots taken from the Basic Measurement
Screen (BMS) are stored as SS records.
F1 records are backsight shots that are taken when you set up a station. Coordinates
are not available for an F1 record.
When you take more than one measurement to the same point and choose to
overwrite the XYZ data, the old raw record becomes raw data only. As a result, only
one SS (RAW) record keeps its corresponding SS(XYZ) record. Other SS(RAW) records
to the same point no longer have a record on their coordinates.
