Performing Stakeout
Stakeout Using an
Entered Plan
1. When everything is set up correctly (see Station Setup on
page 11), tap Points from the Layout menu.
2. From the Layout Pro display, select the point you want to
stake. The horizontal angle and horizontal distance to that
point from the total station are displayed.
3. Tap Next. Layout Pro calculates and displays the value and
direction of the angle –measured from the last shot– the
instrument should be rotated by to be aligned with the
stake point.
4. Rotate the instrument in order to zero this angle. When
done, you get the direction in which to find the stake
point. (angle value shown in bold red on the screen, with
right/left direction arrow; see example below).
5. Have the rod holder move to where you think the stake
point should be. Aim your instrument at the rod holder
and tap Shoot. The Layout Pro display shows the direction
left or right and forward or back in the perspective of the
total station operator.
