OK, here is where I am at with this testing. While I don' technically have a "calibrated base line", I know that once I am close'r', I can mount the ...

Chris, sorry if my post was misleading but the distances shot were about 31ft. the separation between two points was 2ft. I would think 31ft is a re...

Thanks for checking in Andy! With Chris's help, I finally have some understanding on a few things. I realized that the setup on the Geodimeter is a ...

Eddy, I assume your last bit was indicating how P24 works? yes sir, that would be great to have some real tools in this machine but seems I got one t...

So you are saying, if I understand correctly, with P24, you can just elect any two points that are in your job file that you have shot, and align to t...

hmm, that is confusing because that I what I am doing now with P20. I setup as a free station and set two points in my area file. One is N0E0, the n...

James, I don't have P24 but not sure how it might work different than setting up with P20 as a free station and locating the ends up the line in that?...

Thanks for asking. With Chris's help, I determined I was doing a few things wrong. I was not going through the P20 set out procedure correctly, did ...

I spent some time trying to setup as a free station with two points. I was unable to get there. Somehow I was able to get through the P20 setup but ...

Here is a really poor pic of the programs loaded. I put a small tic next to each. It seems there are really no real total station programs, leaving ...

Ah, that might be making more sense to me now. I will make another drawing to verify things but I work in terms of XYZ all day long. I will need to ...

The angle between the two distance shots was not added just because I did not take the time to add it, but obviously the station would know that angle...

I decided to make a quick drawing to show my examples. Please critique as needed. Attached files survey example 1.pdf (45.3 KB) 

OK, I am not sure I am fully grasping the concept here. I think I have the northing right as the distance to the shot? That should be a very straigh...

Does not appear so. When I push/hold the PRG button for the list of loaded programs, program 61 I believe is COGO and it is in brackets indicating is...

Got it! Or I think. My mistake was not understanding the N/E/ELE. I used the F21 to set my Easting to 0 and was able to verify the distance between...

OK, I have tried about everything to switch to XYZ mode and nothing seems to work. I did generate a new display with my desired values but in the lis...

Thank you again guys! XYZ values would be hugely helpful but yet again, I could find nothing like that in the manual so I will do some testing. I do...
