>fairly crappyThe surveyor preparing the plat should have indicated the purpose/allowed uses of the easement. Isn't that a basic requirement?The d...

Are the pins at the edges of the easement or are they road centerline? Nothing says the road got built in the center of the easement.

It's probably illegal, but I'd have no ethical problem with useful marginal notes. Particularly notes pointing to court records or later filings. Le...

There are two aspects of working around power equipment, electric field (the AC version of static electricity) and magnetic field.If there is sufficie...

Oops - I didn't state that very well (late at night). I was thinking about how you get the same sigma for in-line and sideways error when viewed from...

You're both right.Assuming a bivariate gaussian error distribution with equal orthogonal rms components, that SAME value is the radial rms value in an...

Yes.Although if you only care about measuring repeatability of the target placement, and will separately check its calibration as to how well it is ov...

I don't think eccentricity will be a significant issue if you leave the instrument set up undisturbed, and point within a few minutes of the same dire...

>a simple batch file conversionThe batch conversion in either direction could include the add/subtract as well as the multiply/divide operation. M...

>If it is; the DOT way to handle it is to multiply the coordinates by the scale factor. When you do that they don't allow you to truncate cause you...

Whichever you do, you are making a project coordinate system, so 1) subtract off some millions and hundred thousands from the scaled coordinates so pe...

Maybe not a 10" Total Station>But there's a "Standard Error" number [Star*Net] expect you to fill in for "Azimuth/Bearing". You aren't measuring an...

Correction: Change the word "Pointing" to "Direction" in my post.Kent is right, of course, that least count and actual accuracy may not be the same.

The gist of your post is ok but is missing some details. An [msg=29064]old thread[/msg] tried to hash it out. A "Pointing" in the specifications isn...

I think I recall that to get the instrument spec you have to do 2D2R. I have never understood why it was defined that way.If you average N times that...

Maybe something like this? My cell B4 is the difference in azimuths. Or put the subtraction into the long formula in place of B4.=IF( IF( B4>180...

Not having been there or done that, ....It seems like a tolerance of 1/16" might be reasonable for the relative locations of the bolts for one column,...

If it documentation of this process reached the BOR, any PLS or PE involved should expect a reprimand on ethics.
