Sighting the backsight by entering coordinates
To enter coordinates for the backsight point (BS):
1. From the Backsight screen, press [1] to select Coord.
2. Enter the point name and press [REC/ENT].
There are two conditions:
• Measuring to the backsight point. See Measuring the
backsight point, page 55.
• Not measuring to the backsight point. See Not measuring
the backsight point, page 56.
Measuring the backsight point
1. If you intend to take a distance measurement to the BS,
enter the height of target in the HT field.
2. Sight the BS on Face-1 (F1) and press [MSR1] or [MSR2] to
record a full shot (with HA/VA/SD value).
If the vertical circle is on Face-2, a message Turn to F1
appears. If this happens, rotate the telescope and
alidade and sight the BS point in Face-1.
3. After measuring the result is displayed as shown:
– To determine the backsight point using F1 only, press
[REC/ENT] to end measuring.
– To determine the backsight using F2 as well, press
the
F2 softkey.
– To go directly to the Face-2 measurement after taking
a distance measurement to the BS on Face-1, flip the
telescope. The instrument automatically detects
F1/F2.
4. Sight the backsight point, press [MSR1] or [MSR2] to start
the F2 measurement and then press
[REC/ENT].
