$11 10.1   Remote Height Measurement (REM)

This program is for measuring the vertical distance (height) between remote target and prism and the height between it and the ground (no-prism height). When prism is used, the prism shall be used as the datum point for REM; while the ground point of the measured vertical angle shall be used as the datum point for measuring when no prism is used. The datum points of both above cases are located on the plumb line of the target point.

 

Here is the equation used to calculate the data presented in above figure:

Ht=H1+ S*cosα1*tgα2-S*sinα1

H2= S*cosα1*tgα2-S*sinα1

With this mode, the horizontal distance (dHD), slope distance (dSD), and height difference (dVD) between two prisms can be measured.

MLM mode has two functions

(A-B, A-C): measuring A-B, A-C, A-D…

(A-B, B-C): measuring A-B, B-C, C-D…

The measuring process of MLM-2 (A-B,B-C) mode is totally the same as MLM-1 mode.

10.5.3           Defining the Vertical Curve of Roadway

 

The specialty of the roadway slope should be described by the vertical curve, there are three attributes on the vertical curve—mileage, altitude and length, the mileage is representative of the point where the slope is changed, the altitude is the altitude of the point where the slope is changed, the length indicate how much curve length is designed to implement the slope changing. The figure is shown as follow.

The input method of defining vertical curve is just same as the horizontal I.P., see (Procedure of defining Horizontal point of intersection).

10.5.3      Roadway setout

When you select road-setout function, a menu named “road setout” is popped up. Before setout, you should do something:

1.       load a LINE-TYPE file from file to memory using menu item

2.       if you have defined a roadway just now then you cannot do it;

3.       the coordinates of instrument station must be setup, you can use menu item 2

4.       The azimuth must be setup, you can use menu item 3.

  1. 3)  System automatically input process screen. After use [▲][▼]to set the Mile on the stake that you need to setout ,use [◄][►]  to select left edge ,center or right edge. If the mile is not found by  [▲][▼].

You can press F1:[Edit] to input the mile. Then you can press F3:[Setout]
