Station setup
| 
| 
Making the orientation of the station is usually the first step before measuring with a total station.
To perform the station setup open the Survey page.
Select Station setup.
Select a station method or click New setup. On
the page offers directly the orientation selection.
Yes. Station position is known: the coordinate of the station are known.
Backsight to known point: orientation is done from a known position measuring a known control point.
Backsight by azimuth: orientation is done from a known position measuring a known azimuth.
Orientation to multi points: orientation is done from a known position measuring multiple known control points.
Backsight to known point & traverse: this orientation method offers a guidance when measuring stations for a traverse.
No. Station position has to be calculated: the station coordinates must be calculated measuring reference points.
Free station: the total station position and orientation is calculated from measurements of known control points.
Auto free station: the method is used with robotic total stations measuring automatically known control points and calculating the station position and orientation.
Reference axis: the station position and orientation is calculated using a reference axis.
2 reference axis: the station position and orientation is calculated using two reference axis.
Batter boards: the station position and orientation is calculated using three reference axis.
Free station 3D: the total station position and orientation is calculated from measurements of known control points using a 3D transformation.
No orientation: it allows to define the station position but without any specific orientation.
