Calculating coordinates from line and offset
To enter the Line & offset function, press [4] or select Line & O/S in the Cogo
menu.
Enter the base point (P1).
Specify the azimuth bearing. To do this, enter a value
in the AZ or P2 field. P2 is a second point on the line.
Enter the horizontal distance along the baseline (Sta),
the horizontal distance perpendicular to the line (O/S),
and the vertical distance (dVD).
To calculate the coordinates of the point (PM), press
[ENT] in the dVD field. You can change the Z coordinate
here.
To record the point, press
[ENT] in the CD field.
A negative value in the Sta field means the opposite direction along
the defined bearing line.
A negative value in the O/S field is for the left-hand side of the bearing
line.
