To stake out additional strings
To stake your position relative to an additional string
-
Tap the additional string in the map, or select To an additional string in the Stake field and then tap
to select the string from the list. - If required, add the following features:
- To stake points offset from the road, leaving the roadway clear for construction, define a construction offset.
- To confirm the construction of the road surface, define a cross slope.
- Tap Start.
-
Use the plan or cross section view to navigate relative to the string. See Stakeout navigation.
-
When the point is within tolerance, tap Measure to measure the point.
When using a Trimble SX12 scanning total station in TRK mode with the laser pointer enabled, the Stakeout screen shows the Mark point softkey instead of the Measure softkey. Tap Mark point to put the instrument into STD mode. The laser pointer stops flashing and moves to position itself at the EDM location. When you tap Accept to store the point, the instrument automatically returns to TRK mode and the laser pointer resumes flashing. To remeasure and update the stakeout deltas, tap Measure after you tap Mark point and before you tap Accept.
