Reference Line
This program facilitates the easy stake out or
checking of lines for buildings, sections of road,
simple excavations, etc.
A reference line can be defined by referencing a
known base line. The reference line can be offset
either longitudinally, in parallel or vertically to the
base line, or be rotated around the first base point as
required.
Procedure:
1. Definition of the Base line:
The base line is fixed by two base points that can be
defined in three ways:
• Measured points
• Enter coordinates using keypad
• Select point from memory.
a) Measuring base points:
Input PtID and measure base points with [ALL]
or [DIST] / [REC].
b) Base points with coordinates:
[FIND] Starts to search for the PtID
entered.
[ENH] Manually input coordinates.
[LIST] Displays the list of available points.
Analogue procedure for the second base point.
1) 1st base point
2) 2nd base point
3) Base line
4) Reference line
