Creating Observations Using the Survey Command Language

Topics in this section

• Creating an Observation by Angle and Distance

  Use the angle distance (AD) command to quickly create a point by angle and distance.

• Creating an Observation by Bearing and Distance

  Use the bearing and distance command (BD) to create an observation in reference to the occupied point using bearing and distance.

• Creating an Observation by Deflection Angle and Distance

  Use the deflection distance (DD) command to quickly create a point using a deflection angle and distance from an established line.

• Creating an Observation Using a Face1 or Face2 Angle

  Create an observation from a traverse station using a horizontal angle measured on Face1 or Face2 of your instrument.

• Creating an Observation Using an Azimuth

  Create an observation from an occupied traverse station by entering a recorded azimuth and distance.

• Creating a Point By Offset

  Create a new point by offsetting the last point you created by a given distance.

• Creating an Observation Point Using the Stadia Rod

  Use the stadia rod intercept method to reduce a distance that has been measured.
