Sets of angle

| |

• Sets of angles is used to measure multiple sets of directions and distances to predefined target points in one or two faces with a total station.

• The mean direction and mean distance to each target point, within a set is calculated. The residual for each direction and distance within a set is also calculated.

• Coordinates to each target point are calculated using the reduced average direction and average distance.

• Click Survey.

• Click Sets of angle to open the application.

  

The sets of angle point list

• The first step after the application is started, is to load the points to measure.

  

• Select the target points:

  • Select points: select the points to measure from the list of topographic points loaded in the job.

  • Measure new points: measures the position of a set of new points.

  • Load points list: import points from a set of previously done sets of angle session.

• Depending on the method selected, the points to measures are loaded in the sets of angle point list.

  

• This list includes the points to measure.

• Click on a point to delete it or edit its properties.

  

  • Point: the name of the point.

  • Target height: the height of the target.

  • Target type: the type of target. Click to change the target type from list of available targets.

  • Auto aim: if enabled, allows the instrument to automatically aim the target when working with a motorized total station.

  • Apply to all: if enabled, applies the settings of the current target to all targets.

• From the point list table click Tools to open the tools.

  

  • Remove points: allows to delete multiple points from the list.

  • Change order of points: allows to change the order of the points to measure. Select a point from the list and click Down or Up to change the order.

  • Sort list by direction: automatically sorts the list of points to measure based on their direction to optimize the instrument rotations.

• When the list of points is completed click Next.

Settings

• The Settings page allows to define the setting of measurements.

  

  • Sequence: the sequence on how points are measured in face I and face II.

  • Measures: the number of measurements for each point.

  • Auto turn: enables the automatic rotation to the target.

  • Auto aim: defines if target is automatically aimed and measured:

    • Active for all points: all points are automatically aimed.

    • Not active for all points: all points are not automatically aimed.

    • Specific for each point: the setting depends on the configuration previously done for each single target.

  • Tolerances: defines the tolerances on the horizontal angle, vertical angle and distances.

Sets of angles session

• After settings have been defined click Start to start the measurements.

  

• Depending on the aim settings, the points are automatically measured or the software asks for the confirmation after point is manually aimed.

  

Results

• When all measurements are performed the result page is opened.

  

• The page shows the residuals for each target. A warning icon indicates the error is over the defined tolerance.

• Click on the residuals to display the Difference from average or the Difference between the maximum and minimum measured value.

• Click on a target to open the Detail page to see all measurements for a specific target.

• Click Tools to export the measurements in CSV or Excel format.

  

• Click End to save the result. You can choose to recalculate the points coordinate and save the target list and settings for future sessions.
