Creating Setting Out Data

As a check whilst setting out and for QA purposes, n4ce can create a setting out schedule for points based upon known instrument set up and reference object stations.  The Setting Out option allows you create this data.  To create the schedule, you should have the required points added to the select list for the current model and you should also have the stations displayed.

You will then be asked to indicate the instrument and reference stations that you will use when you are on site.  The information displayed assumes that you set up your instrument at the instrument station and zero the horizontal angle onto the reference station.  Therefore, the horizontal angle is the angle from the reference station to the point to be set out.

A setting out report will then be created in the report view for the current model.  This can be copied and pasted into another application, saved to a text file for later retrieval or printed so that hard copy can be taken on site.
