2. Measure
In Measure sub menu. There
are 3 basic survey method. Angle,
Distant and Coordinate. Please
note it is not saved any measure
data under this sub menu.
In Angle, you can 0 Set or
input a certain value for
Horizontal angle setting. Also, it
allows switch vertical angle in
regular or slope percentage, right
or left of Horizontal.
In Coordinate, it allows
temporary set reflector height
and instrument height, setup STN
and BS for measurement.
3. Station
3.1 Known point.
There are 3 methods, by 2 two
known point, by angle and
multiple orient. Known point can
be call from existing job file or
manual input.
By Angle, select Azimuth and
input angle value.
In Multiple Orient, select it and
click Setting, Click Meas 1 Pt, then
add another point, press COGO
to check result. If accept it , press
Configure

4
3.2 Station Height
Set Station height by measure a
point with known height.
Input or Call a known point height
and measure it. it will calculate
new height for station, press
setting .
3.3 Back Sight Check
Check current back sight point to
shows delta value for angle or for
coordinate. Press Reset to renew
the backsight.
3.4 Resection
Resection is used for determined
the station in new position from
measure known points.
Select a geometrical graphic with
good structure is important.
After measure achieve condition
requirement, press COGO to
get calculate result.
It will show measure result and
standard deviation. If accept the
result, press STN Setup to save it
as new station point.
3.5 Point to Line
This function calculates the
unknown occupied point from
measure two points to define a
coordinate system. Can be setup
a new occupied point and
measure other points base on this AB coordinate system.

5
3.6 Free Station
An unknown point is used for
orientation. Point data collected
at this station need to be
reduction to the following
calculation to obtain the real
coordinates.
As the figure shows, STN locate in
O point, P is unknown point for
orientation, P1 is real back sight, after reduction, all points
collect in blue gird will turn to real coordinates shows at
green gird. we need to get the P1 real coordinate before
process reduction.
Operation Process:
A. Select Free station, Input STN
name, it can be manual input
or call from file.
B. Aim the backsight and press
setting
C. Then start data collect in data
collect.
D. COGO-Reduction-Free
Station, Select the BS point
No. Input or Call the real BS
coordinate you aim as
temporary before.
E. Press Reduction to finish
process. All real
coordinate will be shown in
data center.
3.7 STN setup without CP
Station setup without control point is using two free station
coordinate system, separate data collect first in each
coordinate system, then using one public point in 2 system
to reduction all points in correctly.

6
Application condition.
1. A. B is known points. But
it is not sighting STN.
2. Two temporary system
has public point C.
Operation Process
A. Station-STN setup without
CP. Input or Call STN.
B. To do data collect. During
data collect, it needs to
collect public point C.
C. Move station to next STN B，
Redo above process to do
data collect. it also needs to
collect public points C
D. COGO-Reduction-STN setup
without CP. Input STN A, B,
and public point C. select C
location and press COGO.
Then press SAVE.
Note: C location need to be select
on AB left side or right side. Wrong choose will cause
coordinate wrong.

7
4. Collect
There are 8 method to do data collect.
4.1 by Points
Input Pt Name, Code, and
reflector height first, aim target
and press Meas & Save, or directly
press Save. Press Data to check all
measure result and press Graph
to view location.
4.2 Distance Offset
Input the offset value as figure
shows, then measure offset point,
to get the final correct coordinate.
Note: All directions are
correspondent to the visual side
of operator. It can input first, also can be measure first.
4.3 Plane Offset
Measure 3 points to define a
plane. Then aim on target point. It
will calculate the coordinate
automatically. Press Data to view
and press Save.
4.4 Column Offset
Aim column left and right edge to
measure angle. Then aim column
center to measure distance to get
result, press DATA to view and
press Save.

8
4.5 MLM
MLM function is mainly used to
compute the HD/VD/SD/Azimuth
between two points.
Turn on LOCK, result will be
calculated by P1-P2, P1-P3.
Turn off LOCK, result will be
calculated by P1-P2, P2-P3.
Aim Point, Press Meas, Ang.&Dist.
Save. When measurement finish,
press COGO to check result.
4.6 Line & Extend Point
The extension function computes
extend point from the base line,
calculate the unknown coordinate
from two measure points and the
extend distance to get the
coordinate.
Measure P1 then measure P2 to
define line P1-P2, Press Dist Set to
input extend distance. + and –is
define the forward. + is P1>P2,
- is P2>P1 forward.
Press Data to view coordinate and press SAVE.
4.7 Line & Extend Angle
Computes extend point from
azimuth change.
Measure P1 and P2 to define base
line. rotate housing to correct
azimuth you want, press Save.
Note, Forward only P1>P2 direction in this method.

it supports import road elements
by different file type. Such as
excel.
for H-Alignment, it needs to input
elements such as intersection
point NE. 1ST Trans Curve, 2nd Trans
Curve, Radius of Curve. Start
radius of 1st trans curve and end
radius of 2nd trans curve.
For V-Alignment, it needs to input
elements such as Mile, Height and
Radius
