View Total Station Data Associated with a Point in Project Explorer

Individual point nodes are displayed beneath the Points node in Project Explorer.

Beneath each point node, all total station, GNSS, and/or level data used to define the point are displayed as individual nodes. For total station data, this includes observation, mean angle, coordinate, and azimuth nodes.

Note: Station, station setup, backbearing, round, and set nodes, which are displayed beneath the Imported Files node, are not displayed under the Points node in Project Explorer.

The following table shows the possible node types and their relative nested position beneath the Points node in Project Explorer.

Node type example

Description

Points

This is the points node.

100

This is an individual point node. The icon is followed by the point ID.

Observations to and from the point are listed as observation nodes beneath it. See the Point Derivation Report (File > Reports > Point Derivation Report > Show Report/Report Options) to see how observations were used to establish the point.

If a point ID is displayed in red, there is a computational error associated with the point. For instructions on viewing computational error messages, see Select from the Flags Pane. For a description of total station errors that can cause a red point ID, see Total Station Data Errors.

Grid (Single Backsight.jxl)

This is a coordinate node.

The icon is followed by the coordinate type and the source of the coordinate in parenthesis.

100-99 (A1)

This is an azimuth node.

The icon is followed by the occupation point ID, a dash, and the observed point ID. This is followed by an "A" number in parenthesis that uniquely identifies the azimuth.

99-100-200 (M3)

This is a mean angle node. It represents the combining and averaging of redundant observations to the same point.

The icon is followed by the backsight point ID, a dash, the occupation point ID, another dash, and the observed point ID. This is followed by an "M" number in parenthesis that uniquely identifies the mean angle.

If the text is displayed in red, the mean angle includes one or more outlier observations (that is, the observations exceed tolerances specified in the Computations > Mean Angles tab in the Project Settings dialog). To disable outlier observations, right-click the node and select Mean Angle Residuals.

For more information on viewing and working with mean angles, see View and Edit Mean Angle Residuals and Run a Mean Angle Report.

100-200 (T41)

This is a face 1 observation node.

The icon is followed by the occupation point ID, a dash, and the observed point ID. This is followed by a "T" number in parenthesis that uniquely identifies the observation.

i_ 100-99 (T52)

This is a face 1 backsight observation node.

The icon is followed by the occupation point ID, a dash, and the observed point ID. This is followed by a "T" number in parenthesis that uniquely identifies the observation.

201-202 (T54)

This is a dual prism observation node.

The icon is followed by the occupation point ID, a dash, and the observed point ID. This is followed by a "T" number in parenthesis that uniquely identifies the observation.

220-221 (T22)

110-111 (T5)

198-199 (T28)

These are distance, angle, and circle offset nodes.

The icon is followed by the occupation point ID, a dash, and the observed point ID. This is followed by a "T" number in parenthesis that uniquely identifies the observation.
