Traverse

The Traverse command (and its Sketch variant when the Sketch option is enabled) permits the sequencing of angle and distance information to establish a course direction with further control based on the Traverse, Inverse, Radial Stakeout Defaults command.

Options

  1. -eXit/I/Ss/Rs/H/Angle-BC(1-7)<[Angle Code]> Indicate the desired action:
    • eXit: Exits from the routine.
    • I: Switches into Inverse mode.
    • Ss: Switches into SideShot mode.
    • Rs: Switches into Radial Stakeout mode.
    • H: Displays a dialog box summary of the various angle codes:
      More Information
      Horizontal Angle Codes
      Angle Code Details
      Help Helmet Red X
    • Angle-BC(1-7): Indicate the numerical angle code that represents the turned angle.
  2. -Angle (dd.mmss)<90°00'00"> Indicate the horizontal angle.
  3. -ZA (dd.mmss)<90°00'00"> (if enabled) Indicate the vertical angle.
  4. -Instrument Height <0.0000> (if enabled) Indicate the height of instrument above its ground point.
  5. -Rod-Target Height <0.0000> (if enabled) Indicate the height of target above its ground point.
  6. -(Slope) Distance Indicate the distance to the measured point.
  7. -Desc Indicate the description of the measured point.

    Note: The descriptions can make use of the Feature Code Library for efficient Field-to-Finish drafting.

  8. -Point ID Indicate the point ID (number) of the measured point.

The sequence loops and what had previously been the Occupied Point (OP) now becomes the Backsight (BS) and the newly created point becomes the new Occupied Point (OP).

Note: During the traverse process, you can access the Map Screen View Controls.

Note: Refer to the Command Options discussion for additional information.
