How do you plan your control networks given a supplied accuracy spec?

PreviousPage 2 of 2

A good approach, when either the person who wrote the scope doesn't understand accuracy, or when you know others will quote low, is to provide options in your quotation (with price and duration):

1. Compliant with (if possible) or

2. As accurate as practically achievable (schedule of rates)

3. Non compliant, but with typical equipment and procedures.

Using a potential property I may survey as a test subject, I took some time to get familiar with the preanalysis feature today. Wow, It's pretty neat.

Regarding standard error settings for the instrument library; I feel a bit silly for asking this, but for traverse, I always do BS-F1-F2-BS for what I call an angle set. Does starnet consider this one angle set or two angle sets? https://support.microsurvey.com/convert/instrumentsettings.html

Thanks.

That's one set.

Thanks @Norman_Oklahoma , thought so

I would consider that one set. But you can used the online calculator to compute your instrument settings in Starnet. https://support.microsurvey.com/convert/instrumentsettings.html

That calculator is a little misleading as they would define a set. Pay attention to the number of BS and FS they use to define a set and adjust accordingly. For example, we turn 3 sets, so BS FS FR BR is one set do that three times and you have 6 BS and 6 FS so i would use the 6 option for starnet. I acutally copy and paste the results of the calculator into my data file with a note as to what I used as input.
