Option Description
Check box Available for Road and Rail.
To make stake out of points even more effi-
cient, a motorised instrument offers you the
possibility to aim automatically at the stake-
out position.
Available for Road and Rail and when Auto-
matically aim instrument to point being
staked is checked.
Position The instrument positions horizontally in the
only direction of the point to stake out.
Position & The instrument positions horizontally and
height vertically to the point to stake out.
The instrument only points to the correct
position on the ground if the point to stake
out has the same height as the natural sur-
face. If the natural surface is higher than the
point to stake out, the measured point
would be closer than the stakeout point. If
the natural surface is lower than the point,
the measured point would be further away.
With Position & measure, the possibility of
iterative positioning using the auto position,
this problem can be avoided.

a Point to stake out, defined with 3D
coordinates
b Position if natural surface is higher than
point to stake out
c Position if natural surface is lower than
point to stake out
Position & Allows the instrument to aim at a 2D posi-
measure tion. As the natural surface height is
unknown the correct position is calculated
via iterations.

ment will turn on the red laser as
soon as the position is found.
