5.1 Measuring edges and corners using the Intersection program
(INTS)
To measure edges and corners, especially in DR mode,
Trimble recommends that you use the Intersection
program (INTS).
To access the
INTS screen, press [F3] INTS in a BMS
screen.
51.1 Bearing-Distance
Use this method when you want to shoot to the exact
corner of a pillar or wall, or when it is difficult to place a
target at the point you need to measure. You can first
set the angle by sighting the point and then take a
measurement to the closest point where the distance is
almost the same.
1. Press
[1] to open the Bearing-Dist. screen.
2. Press
[<] or [>] to change the Mode setting. The
options are
OFF/Once/Perm.
If Mode is set to
Perm you can continue using
this offset measurement until you escape from
the function.
3. Press
[F4] o.k..
4. Sight the point you need to record and press
[MEAS/ENT]. The horizontal and vertical angles are
fixed on the screen.
5. Find a target at the closest possible point and
press
[MEAS/ENT].
After taking a distance measurement, the BMS
screen appears from which you entered the INTS
program. The screen shows the new
measurements.
Note – When Record mode (Rec. mode) is set to Confirm,
a confirmation screen appears before you record a point.
See Taking measurements, page 59.
