Total Station Setups

Click Total Station Setups to display the following columns.

Column Description
Unique Id Unique Identifier of the total station setup.
Included Clear the box to remove the setup (and any measurements observed from the setup) from validation or processing.
Status Processed - The total station measurement has not been processed.
Processed - The total station measurement has been successfully processed and the resultant coordinates have been used to update the vertex.
Processed - The total station measurement has been modified and it is recommended that the total station measurement is reprocessed.
Processed - The total station measurement has been processed however errors were detected in the data.
Processed - A tolerance has been exceeded.
Point name Name of the instrument station.
Setup Vertex The unique identifier of the station points vertex.
Easting Edit the easting coordinate of the setup point.
Northing Edit the northing coordinate of the setup point.
Height Edit the elevation of the setup point.
Coordinate Class Select the coordinate class for the setup point.
Instrument Height Edit the instrument height.
Setup Method Select the method of orientation.
Instrument The total station instrument used to observe the measurements. See Total Stations to view the details.
Field Party Field Party used to observe the measurements.
Code Edit the code.
Select a layer lookup table in the Coding Processing Options to view or enter mapped field codes.
Date/Time Date and time of the observation.
Horizontal Orientation The angular value (computed when the measurements are processed) added to directions when the instrument has not been oriented on setup.
Horizontal Centring Error Used in adjustment this is an estimate of the accuracy in which an instrument can be setup horizontally over the point.
Edit the estimated error for each observation. Alternatively, enter global values in the Processing Options.
Vertical Centring Error Used in adjustment this is an estimate of the accuracy in which an instrument can be setup vertically over the point.
Edit the estimated error for the observation. Alternatively, enter global values in the Processing Options.
Tilt Compensated Indicates if the tilt compensator was used to adjust the target height.

Point name The name of the observed point.
Target Vertex The unique identifier of the observed points vertex.
Coordinate Class Select the coordinate class for the observed point.
Horizontal Angle The observed horizontal angle.
Zenith Angle The observed vertical angle.
Slope Distance The observed slope distance.
Horizontal Distance The observed horizontal distance to the target.
Vertical Distance The observed vertical distance to the target.
Target Height Edit the target height.
Length Offset Target offset along the line of sight.
Right Offset Target offset perpendicular to the line of sight.
Up Offset Vertical target offset.
Reflector The reflector used to observe the distance measurement. See Reflectors to view the details.
Targeting Mode The method used to position the cross hairs on the target.
EDM Type The EDM technology used to measure the distance.
EDM Mode The EDM mode used to measure the distance.
Measurement Purpose Select the purpose of the measurement.
Code Edit the code.
Select a layer lookup table in the Coding Processing Options to view or enter mapped field codes.
Date/Time Date and time of the observation.
Horizontal Centring Error Used in adjustment this is an estimate of the accuracy in which a target can be held over the point.
Edit the estimated error for each measurement. Alternatively, enter global values in the Processing Options.
Vertical Centring Error Used in adjustment this is an estimate of the accuracy in which an instrument can be setup vertically over the point.
Edit the estimated error for the measurement. Alternatively, enter global values in the Processing Options.
Notes
  • Select a total station measurement node in the left-hand pane to display the related data in a measurement grid in the right-hand pane.
  • Right-click the column title bar to display a menu that enables columns to be toggled on and off.
  • Edit the selected item directly in the data grid cell, or click Edit selected item.
  • Edits may be prevented to maintain data integrity.
  • Manual data input of total station data requires new total stations, reflectors and field parties.
  • Only one status symbol is displayed per observation. Resolving a Modified symbol may expose a Error or Warning symbol.
  • Results must be processed (not simply validated) to resolve Modified status symbols as a validation does not apply the coordinate changes.
