X > 10.00%
The grade in the X and Y axes can be swapped from positive to negative by changing the plus/
minus sign in grade entry mode. Refer to Grade entry by digit.
3.5 Axis Identification
When entering grade, it is important to know the correct direction in which the grade is being
entered.
Refer to the following illustration to identify the correct directions of the axes.
3.6 Conversion of Slope Into Percent of Grade
Slope: The change in elevation per unit of measure (foot, metre, etc.)
Percent of Grade: The change in elevation per 100 units of measure (feet, metre, etc.)
Calculating percent of grade from slope:
[Slope] x 100 = [Percent of Grade]
Example:
Slope = 0.0059
Conversion = 0.0059 x 100
Percent of Grade = 0.590%
