Station and Offset Solution


Store the coordinates of two points on the station line in
XEQ 1 and XEQ 2 (the point stored in XEQ 1 is where the
station distance is measured from)

Input the Northing of the offset point
Press ENTER
Input the Easting of the offset point
Press XEQ F












Top number = Distance along Line 1-2
in feet from Point 1
Negative distances are in
the back direction from
Point 1

Bottom number = Offset Distance
perpendicular to
Line 1-2
Positive offsets are RT of
centerline and Negative
offsets are LT of
centerline


Stake out a Point


Store the coordinates of the two points on the backsight line in
XEQ 1 and XEQ 2 (the point stored in XEQ 1 is where the
instrument would be for stake out, also this is where the
distance is measured from to the stake out point. The point
stored in XEQ 2 is the backsight point, this is where you would
zero out the instrument before turning the angle)

Input the Northing of the stake out point
Press ENTER
Input the Easting of the stake out point
Press XEQ I












Top number = Distance from instrument
(Point 1) to stake out point

Bottom number = Angle right (or CW angle)

SIDE-SHOT (from Point 1)
With an angle and a distance
Create coordinates of a Side-Shot (SS) point










Traverse to the newly created point and backsight
to the previous point 1. Then repeat the above
process to create a new point. The process of
traversing (or moving up) and creating new points
can be repeated over and over.









Store the coordinates of the two points on the backsight line in
XEQ 1 and XEQ 2 (the point stored in XEQ 1 is where the
instrument is setup, also this is where the distance is measured
from to the side shot point. The point stored in XEQ 2 is the
backsight point, this is where you would zero out the instrument
before turning the angle to the side shot or foresight point)

Input the DISTANCE from Point 1to the Sideshot Point
Press ENTER
Input the ANGLE (in D.MS)
Press XEQ O (letter O not zero)


Press R/S
