The user can choose between two different methods: Polygonal: P1-P2, P2-P3, P3-P4 Radial: P1-P2, P1-P3, P1-P4 Start Tie Distance application through “Main Menu”...

    Total Station Manual 9. Area Area is an application used to calculate the polygon areas to a maximum of 20 points which connected by straights. The target points coordinate can be measured, selected from memory or entered via keypad in same direction. And the following three methods can be alternately performed.
