COGO

| |

• COGO (Coordinate Geometry) commands allow to perform different operations directly in the field with GNSS and TPS instruments.

• For example:

  • Creating points according to different methods.

  • Get information related to positions of the points such as distances or angles.

  • Get information related to the current position of the receiver.

• Inverse: to quickly calculate distance and other information between two points.

• Distance: calculates the distance and other information from different entities.

• Reference line: calculates the distance and other information from a reference line and the current position.

• Alignment & offset: calculates a coordinate along a reference element at certain distance and offset.

• Intersection: calculates a coordinate on an intersection using different methods.

• Area subdivision: allows to divide an area according to different rules.

• Grid of points: allows to create a grid of points inside a defined boundary.

• Check planes: how to check horizontal, vertical and sloped planes.

• Area & Length: calculates areas and perimeters.

• Move, Rotate & Scale: how to use the function to manually or by common points transform points and drawings.

• Point average: how to calculate the average between different coordinates.

• BIM surface: how to stakeout BIM models.

• Traverse calculation: how to perform a traverse calculation in the field and adjust the stations.
