Stakeout
Points can be staked using different modes:
• Polar mode.
• Orthogonal to station mode.
• Orthogonal from station mode.
The points to be staked must exist in a job on the active memory device or can be typed in.
Points cannot be staked if the active coordinate system is different to that in which the points
to be staked are stored. For example, the points to be staked are stored in WGS 1984 and
the active coordinate system is <None>.
It is possible to stake:
• Position only points.
Height type of the point to be staked:
Height type computed for current position:
Heights can be taken into account from
• the vertical component of a coordinate triplet.
DTM Stakeout must be activated via a licence key. Refer to "28 Tools...\Licence Keys" for
information on how to type in or upload the licence key.
If activated, the height of the points to be staked can be edited in the field.
• Height only points.
Orthometric OR ellipsoidal
Orthometric OR ellipsoidal depending on the
• configured transformation,
• availability of a geoid model,
• height type of the point to be staked.
If possible, the height type of the point to be
staked is computed for the current position.
TPS1200
• Points with full sets of coordinates.
• a Digital Terrain Model.
