Trimble TX8 - Setup; Setting up the Tripod; Setting up the Instrument; Settling the Instrument on the Tribrach

3 Setup
In this chapter:
n Setting up the tripod
n Setting up the instrument
n Settling down the instrument on the
tribrach
n USB flash drive
n Powering the instrument
n Turning the instrument on and off
n Connecting the instrument to a remote
device
n Changing the default settings
n Measuring the instrument heights
Organize all the items from the instrument case
and take them to where you want to collect the
data.
Once you have done this, you can set up the
different parts and turn them on for use.
If you want to use the instrument in a survey
workflow, you will need a control point, which is
required for setting up the instrument.
This control point becomes the first site point for
data collection. Be sure you know its coordinates
and identifier. Set up the instrument on the tripod
over the control point and then visually locate a
second point called the backsight point. The
direction from the control point to the backsight
point will indicate where you need to direct the
instrument.
