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 .

  

•  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.

  

• 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 3^rd 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!
