8.1 Station and offset

You can determine the rectangular coordinates of any point in relation to a reference

line defined by points A and B.

This option enables you to check point distances from a reference line, check

boundaries, intersection of sight rails; determine the distances of buildings from

boundaries, footpaths or streets; check the alignment of long straight lines in the event

of visual obstacles on the line, surveying of supply lines and channel routes referred to

roads and buildings, and free stationing in a local system.

To start the station and offset option, from the

Application menu, select [3] STN+Offset.

Note – In any measurement screen, you can press to

change the point number and point code and the EDM

mode, or check recorded data.
