• To change the display between Z and h, press [F4]
DSP.
Note – This option is only available when you are taking
3D measurements.
To measure to point B or to point P, do one of the
following:
• To define point B or P as the station point, press
[F1] B=S/P=S.
• To shift the coordinate axes y and x, press [F2]
CONS. See Shifting the coordinate axes y, x,
page 104.
• To change the display between Z, h, and w, press
[F3] DSP.
• To take a measurement to point P, press [MEAS/ENT].
81.1 Shifting the coordinate axes y, x
The result of a measurement to a point P is displayed as follows: The input of shift
values for y and x axes, for example x = 5,000 m. The change is recorded if a line does
not begin with the coordinate x=0,00. The corresponding value can be entered after
having the line. If it is a parallel line, the parallel distance y can be entered in the same
way. Consequently, the computation is always related to the new and parallel line.
