Survey

  • Survey is the main onboard program for measuring and recording coordinates.

  • In this paragraph it is visualized step-by-step the procedure to create a new job, perform an orientation and start to measure points.

Start Survey program

  • From the main page, select 2.Program, and then F1-Surveying to start the survey.

The Surveying menu is comparable to Q-Survey, but in addition you can do some pre-settings: set the job, select the Station and set the orientation.

Job selection

  • If the job has not been set yet, then you can select F1- Set Job, to either create a new job or choose an existing job from memory.

  • Clicking on OK will validate and return to the Surveying page.

Each completed setting will be marked with [*].

Station settings

  • From the Surveying page, select F2-Set STA to define the current position of the instrument station.

  •  Then, you can either:

    • Search for an existing point by entering the point name (Find),

    • or select a point from the list of existing points (List),

    • or by manually entering the point’s coordinates (Coord.).

Instrument height

  • Once the station coordinates are set, you can enter the instrument height.

Orientation settings

  • From the Surveying page, select F3-Set B.S. to define the orientation of the current station.

  •  Then you can either set the orientation manually (5.1),

  • Or calculate and set the orientation using existing coordinates (5.2)

Orientation by azimuth

  • From the Set B.S page, select F1-Angle Setting.

  • Aim the backsight point, and then set the orientation by one of the following options:

    • Manually input the azimuth as well as the prism height and backsight point name, then press REC,

    • Set the azimuth to 0 (by clicking on Zero), then press REC,

    • Measure and set the azimuth, by pressing ALL.

Orientation by coordinates

  • From the Set B.S page, select F2-Coord. 

  • You can set the coordinates of the backsight point either by:

    • Searching for an existing point by entering the point name (Find),

    • Selecting a point from the list of existing points (List),

    • Manually entering the point’s coordinates (Coord.).

  • Then press OK to confirm the point.

  • Once the coordinates are set, aim at the backsight point and press image-20250807-081226.png .

  •  The azimuth can be set by one of these options:

    • To measure and check the azimuth, press DIST.

    • To measure and set the azimuth, press ALL.

  • Once the orientation is set, the 3 pre-settings will be marked by [*], which means that you’re ready to start the survey (F4-Start).

 If no orientation is set and an application is started, the current horizontal direction is set as the orientation.

Start survey

  • To start the survey, select F4-Start.

    image-20250807-081626.png

  • And follow these steps:

    1. Enter a point ID (Pt.) and the reflector height (T.H.).

    2. If needed, enter a code.

    3. Aim at the target point.

    4. To start measuring and save the measured values, press ALL or DIST+REC.

    5. Tepeat the previous steps to measure another point.

To change and move to another station, you should repeat the steps above, starting from Step 2.

  • From the 3rd station onwards, when you want to backsight on previous station, the Zoom10 will popup up a warning message:

  • Please use the Rename option to differentiate multiple sets of measurements at the same station!

  • By using X-PAD Fusion for your TPS data calculation, the renaming of these multiple sets of measurement on same stations, will be handled automatically after the data transfer!
