New Point - Topcon GTS-600 Series Instruction Manual

4.6.4 New Point

In the New Point option there are two features available to collect coordinates, Side Shot and
Resection. When collecting a side shot point, the point number, north, east, and elevation are stored
under a job name. The feature to set the back sight direction, Setting a Direction Angle, is optional when
collecting a side shot point. The software provides the user with the option to set the direction angle or
to skip this option.NOTE: If the direction angle to the back sight was established during the layout
feature, and you haven't turned off the instrument, you can skip the Setting a Direction Angle feature in
side shot collection. But, we recommend that you check the direction to the backsight before collecting
side shot points.
Once the direction to the back sight is complete, the side shot point number and rod height are typed in
and the instrument can be sighted on to the prism to collect the point coordinates.
Follow the instruction below to collect a side shot point.
