DISTANCE MEASUREMENT SYSTEM CHAPTER 2
GEODIMETER SYSTEM 600
UTM Example
The UTM coord. distance is represented by the line AB (see
sketch below). The measured horizontal distance CD on the
Geoid must therefore be reduced to AB, with the UTM scale
factor for example 0.999723. This is simply done by multip-
lying CD (the horizontal distance) with your scale factor.
This routine will be carried out automatically when keying in
a UTM Scale Factor using Function 43.
