Operation steps Keys Display Click “m/ft” key.① 【m/ft】 Changed distance unit ②will display in the upper right corner. ※1 ※1 Distance unit will be exchanged among meter,american feet and international feet every time you click “m/ft” key. 4.4.5 Distance stake out measurement This function can display the difference between measured distance and preset distance. Displayed Value=Observed Value – Standard(Preset) Distance Setting out among all sorts of distance measurement modes(such as slope distance, horizontal distance and elevation difference) can be carried on.
36 Operation steps Keys Display Click “①Setout” key under distance measurement mode. 【Setout】 Select distance ②measurement mode (SD,HD,VD)to be set out, input required data and then click “Enter” key. ※1 ③Start setting out. ※1 First of all,a prompt that reminds you to input SD to be set out is displayed in the popup dialog box. Click “Enter” key to execute SD setting out after inputing data。If you want HD setting out,need to input zero in “SD dialog box”, click “Enter”,and the system will eject “HD dialog box” automatically. HD setting out can go on after HD data entry. If you want VD setting out,need to input zero in both “SD dialog box” and “HD dialog box”, thus the system will remind you to input elevation difference to be set out.
37 4.4.6 Remote Elevation Measurement（REM） The Remote Elevation program calculates the vertical distance (VD) of a remote object relative to ground. When using a prism height, the remote elevation measurement will start from the prism (reference point). If no prism height is used, the remote elevation will start from any reference point in which the vertical angle is established. In both modes, the reference point should be perpendicular to the remote object. 1) With prism height (PH) input Operation steps Keys Display Under distance ①measurement mode, click “REM” key to activate remote elevation measurement. 【REM】
