11.11 Construction
11.11.1 Starting Construction
Construction is an application used to define a construction site by combining set-up of the
instrument along a construction line, measuring and setting out points in relation to the line.
1. Select Apps from the MAIN MENU.
2. Select CONSTR. from the Apps menu.
3. Select Set EDM: to set the EDM settings. Refer to "5.2 EDM Settings".
4. Select:
•
New line - To define a new construction site, or
•
Continue line - To continue with a previous construction site (skips set-up).
If coordinates were entered by COORD and measured to known points, a plausibility check dis-
plays the calculated line length, the actual length and the difference.
Measure to the line start and end points and the LAY-OUT screen appears.
11.11.2 Layout
Search or enter points for setting out relative to the defined construction line. The on-screen
graphics show the position of the prism relative to the set out point. Below the graphic, the exact
values are displayed, combined with arrows to show the direction for setting out the point.
•
Be aware that the line start point and the line end point are measured in the previous coor-
dinate system. When setting out these points they appear in the old system and appear as
shifted.
•
During use of the application the previous orientation and station parameters will be
replaced by the new calculated ones. The line start point will be set to E=0, N=0.
•
The height of the line start point is always used as the reference height!
•
Either, select New line from the Construction pre-settings screen and measure start and
end points of the line.
•
Or, select Continue with line from the Construction pre-settings screen.
The graphics are scaled to give a better overview. Therefore it is possible that the set out point
moves in the graphic.
AsBLT To switch to AsBuilt mode to check
points relative to the construction
line.
Shift
To enter values for shifting the line.
Field Description
dLi Longitudinal offset: Positive if target point is further away than the meas-
ured point.
dOf Perpendicular offset: Positive if target point is to the right of the measured
point.
