Plotting With The Random Point File - Tripod Data Systems CO-OP 41 User Manual

PLOTTING WITH THE RANDOM POINT FILE
When plotting with the random pointfile, you set up the
random point file in the same way that you did for the
surveying functions (using the RDM-PTS function).
There are several things to keep in mind, however.
The CO-OP 41 will plot lines between all points, unless the
point is entered as a negative number. If you enter the
numbers (1, 2,-3, 4) the plotter will draw a line between
points 1 and 2, then lift the pen and move to point 3, and
then draw a line to point 4.
Curves are specified exactly like they are for the surveying
functions. Briefly, curves are entered as negative
fractional decimal numbers, with the integer part of the
number the beginning point, and the fractional part of the
number the end point of the curve. -23.0025 defines a
curve from point 23 to point 25. If you enter the point
definitions for a curve, the CO-OP 41 will prompt for the
radius of the curve (see the CO-OP 41 Surveying Module
User's Manual for more details).
For the first job, we want to have lines drawn around the
outer points, and have a line distinguishing the new
property boundary between points 6 and 10. To do this we
will enter the following into the random pointfile:
UJ [PT?
1.0008(R/S)
[PT?
6 [PT?
10 [PT?
