Intersection of two distances

  • Calculates the position of one point or multiple points by two distances to two reference points.

  • A guided procedure allows the definition of the two reference points, the measurement of distances and the selection of the preferred solution. The requested data relate to the first reference point.

  • Open the GPS Measure mode page.

  • Select Distance-Distance.

  • The software opens the Hidden point page.

  • Select or measure the Reference point (A) and enter the distance from the first reference point to the hidden point.

    • Reference point (A): specify the name of the first reference point. Type in the name or select it from the graphic window or the table. Tap if the reference point has not been measured yet. Press Measure to measure the reference point (A).

    • Distance from A: distance from the reference point to the hidden point.

    • Height diff. from A: elevation difference between the point to measure and the reference point.

    • Laser height: elevation of the laser Disto from the ground. Used to determinate the exact value of the slope from the reference point.

Distance can be measured with a Disto. See Creating a profile for laser distance meter.

  • Press Add measured distance to measure multiple hidden points from the first reference point entering the distances.

  • Press Next.

  • Select or measure the Reference point (B) and enter the distance from the reference point to the hidden point.

    • Reference point (B): specify the name of the first reference point. Type in the name or select it from the graphic window or the table. Tap if the reference point has not been measured yet. Press Measure to measure the reference point (B).

    • Distance from B: distance from the reference point to the hidden point.

    • Height diff. from B: elevation difference between the point to measure and the reference point.

    • Laser height: elevation of the laser Disto from the ground. Used to determinate the exact value of the slope from the reference point.

  • Tap Next to calculate the two reference points and the two possible solutions.

  • Choose the desired solution: Click in the part to which the solution right or left belongs. The solution that will be used is shown in red.

  • Tap Next to proceed with the guided procedure.

  • Confirm the data on the pages.

  • Continue to measure other hidden points or return to the main measuring window.
