Control points
This chapter assumes that the data collector is already connected to a total station. For a detailed description on how to connect to a total station, see Connecting to a total station.
The traverse function only works with 3D control points.
To build a closed traverse, control points for the starting and ending stations are required. There are multiple ways to obtain control points:
-
Enter and/or edit the coordinates of the point using the Enter/Edit Control Points functions.
See Total Station menu.
-
Measure the coordinates of the point using the Measure Control Point functions.
-
Import control points from a .csv file.
See Project Setup menu.
