5.2.1 Benching a UTS target
You must bench the target if the UTS instrument was set up with Northing and
Easting values, but no Elevation was specified.
You may bench the target even if the UTS instrument’s location was specified with
an elevation value, in which case the benched elevation is used to calculate the
target location, not the entered elevation of the UTS.
The Height from field in the UTS dialog displays the origin of the UTS height. The
contents of the Height from field are shown below.
