SIDESHOT(using angle right)
By pressing (A) from the SIDESHOT/TRAVERSE MENU you will then be prompted for Angle Right, Horizontal Distance, and Description. After this is input the point will be stored. This does NOT move your point of occupy. It is only a SIDESHOT ROUTINE.
(B)
TRAVERSE(using angle right)
By pressing (B) from the SIDESHOT/TRAVERSE MENU you ill then be prompted for Angle Right, Horizontal Distance, and Description. After this is input the new point will be stored. This moves your point of occupy to the new point created also updating your BackSight Azimuth and BackSight Bearing.
( C)
BEARING SIDESHOT
This allows you to store a new point using a Bearing of either NorthEast, SouthEast, SouthWest, or NorthWest and a horizontal Distance. By pressing ( C) from the SIDESHOT/TRAVERSE MENU you will then be displayed
|
| SELECT QUADRANT
|
|
| NE | SE | SW | NW | EXIT |

You don’t have to type any letters for bearings just input the number as shown above.
(D)
BEARING TRAVERSE
Same as above BEARING SIDESHOT only this routine moves you point of occupy to the new point created and changes your BackSight Azimuth and BackSight Bearing.
CHANGE FORESIGHT #
(E) CHANGE FORESIGHT PT# To change the ForeSight Pt#
STAKEOUT MENU
From the MAIN MENU press (E)
This will bring up the STAKE-OUT MENU…

After you input the desired angle right to the line
You will then be displayed the distance to line between the
1st and 2nd point on line you input using the angle right
you input.

OFFSET PT ON AN OFFSET LINE
This is a VERY POWERFUL ROUTINE! We highly recommend you learn this routine. By pressing ( C) from the STAKE-OUT MENU you will be prompted for "1st pt on line?", "2nd pt on line?", "Distance to offset this new line?" Distance along the new line to offset from the 1st point on line". You will then be displayed the Angle Right, Distance, Coordinated, and given the option to STORE this point or update the offset distance along the new line that you have created from the 1st point on the new line. (This works great for staking out buildings, centerlines, offsetting property lines, etc.. VERY NICE ROUTINE.
