R.O.E (Remote Object Elevation)
The R.O.E. measurement function is used to measure heights
of objects where it is not practical or impossible to place a
reflector. In order to measure the height of an object, an
initial distance measurement is carried out to a reflector held
at a point which is in the same vertical plane as the point to
be measured. Once the distance has been measured, the
height can be measured to any point which lies within the
same vertical plane as the point's location.
The height is calculated from the horizontal distance
measured and the vertical angle for the point at which the
reticle of the telescope is pointed.
R.O.E. can be preset to 0 or any other value by using menu
1.2, R.O.E. preset. Note that you don't have to activate the
R.O.E. function – it is always active as long as you are in
Program 0.
An example: Let's say you want to measure the height of a
building, from the ground to the top. Place the rod close to
the building. Take a measurement to the prism, select a
display that shows VD or ELE. Tilt the telescope to the
bottom of the rod and select MNU 12, R.O.E. Preset, and
key in 0.000. If you can't see the bottom of the rod you can
aim to the prism and key in the height of the prism as R.O.E.
Preset, e.g. 3.000. Now, when you tilt the telescope to the
top of the building you can see the height in the display
shown as VD or ELE.
