Choosing Leveling Mode

1. If your active instrument is an electronic automatic level, then Survey Pro

will automatically use Electronic leveling method.

2. If your active instrument is an optical total station, then Survey Pro will

automatically use the Trigonometric leveling method. Creating and

activating either an electronic level instrument profile or an optical total

station profile is the same procedure used to create an instrument profile

in optical surveying mode (see Optical Mode - Connecting Survey Pro to an

Optical Instrument on page 24).

3. If your active instrument is the “Manual Mode” profile, then you must

choose your leveling method:

• Tap the Instrument icon and select Switch to Leveling.

• Tap the Instrument icon again and select Manage Instruments. This opens

the Settings screen.

• Select Manual Mode and then tap Instrument Settings. This opens the Level

Method screen.

• Select the desired leveling method among the four possible,

• Tap to validate your choice. As a result, you can see that Manual Mode

in the list of instruments has now been activated automatically.

• Tap to close the Settings screen. Survey Pro is now ready to perform

manual leveling.

Level Settings

• Now that you have selected the Leveling mode, go back to the main menu

and select Job > Settings. This opens the Settings screen

• Select Level from the upper tab. This screen allows you to set the shooting

sequence (BS1...BSn>FS1...FSn or [BS1 FS1>FS2BS2]n), the number of sets (n)

and a few leveling tolerances (vertical distance, horizontal distance, etc.)

Survey Pro will be using in Leveling mode.

The Load FGCS Defaults button allows you to specify a particular order and

class for the level loop. This will automatically fill in all the tolerances on

the Settings screen with the default FGCS values.

Setting tolerances allows Survey Pro to issue warning messages when

tolerances are not met. It’s up to you to determine if the level loop meets

the criteria for a particular standard.

• Tap to enter all your settings and close the Settings screen.

• Go to the main menu and select Survey to start your leveling work. Refer to

Section 7. Leveling on page 66 for more information.
