Hi there,
As I'm a geophysicist rather than a land surveyor, I hope you don't mind me posting what is probably a really easy question. When doing a geophysics survey, I set out a number of 40x40m square grids, aligned to a sraight edge of a field to make the geophysics survey easier. What I used to do with the total station was put it on the baseline at the edge of the field, tell it that it was at 500E,500N, point it along the baseline, set the angle to something like 270 (west) and then go and find 460E,500N for the next point and so on.
I'm trying to do something similar with the Triumph-LS. The plan I came up with was to collect the point I would have occupied with the TS, stake out on the point I had just collected and then walk 120m away along the baseline, then do a Multiple Point Localization (Unknown) with one point as 500E,500N and the other as 380E,500N, then go and find the rest of the points.
The problem I came up against was with the 120m stakeout part, as the DTT was given in whole metres (0dp), which isn't good enough for the localization. I got out the TS to measure 120m and then did the localization, and all was well. Is there a simple way to show to 2dp how far away from a point you are, or is there a way to do the whole thing more simply, like with the TS?
Cheers
