Survey - Hidden Points
Use of hidden point measurements: For poles surrounded by heavy undergrowth where it
Changing coordinates of a point which has been previously used in hidden point measure-
ments does not result in the hidden point being recomputed.
Hidden point measurements are possible for <R-Time Mode: Rover> and <R-Time Mode:
None>. For <R-Time Mode: None> the hidden point can be calculated in LGO.
A hidden point can be measured by
•
Bearing and distance
•
Double bearing
•
Double distance
Any magnetic declination configured for <Mag Declin:> in CONFIGURE Units & Formats,
Angle page is applied when the hidden points are computed. The azimuth must be entered
manually or it must be measured with a hidden point measurements device.
Heights are taken into account if configured. Refer to "22.7 Hidden Point" for information on
configuring height offsets.
<Device Ht:> and <Target Ht:> configured in CONFIGURE Hidden Pt Device Offsets are
applied when the hidden points are computed. <ΔHeight:> in HIDDEN PT Hidden Point
Measurement is the value directly from the hidden point measuring device.
is not possible to directly measure the pole without
taking a lot of time to cut a path through the under-
growth.
