I own an HP 50g, but I've never used STK software. Did you check to see if you're using the correct baud rate on the HP 50g? What serial cable are you...

Please explain the 50 ppm part. I'm not familiar with such a thing.

@dave-lindell?ÿ You were off by 1.4" and they threw a fit? Is the T-3 accurate to 0.1"? Is the T-3 operated like the T-2, where you don't set zero, b...

@learner?ÿ Topcon MAGNET Field has mission planning software, which we never use. How about a website liketo plan around increased solar activity?

@rover83?ÿ That sounds freakin' outstanding! Unfortunately, we don't have StarNET. We use Carlson Survey inside AutoCAD Civil 3D and Topcon MAGNET To...

Are you trying to say that a poor angle set will be more apparent?

We did that yesterday.

@john-nolton?ÿ Thanks for clarifying the math! In the past I remember situations where the FSD angle was greater than 180?ø, and some additional math...

Where do you get the 30.5" from in the?ÿmean D&R column? Also, I remember doing some additional math if the direct angle to the foresight was >...

@nate-the-surveyor?ÿ Hopefully the many answers won't be too far behind them!

@lukenz?ÿ I'm curious about the wisdom of Topcon for including the geodetic distance in their point-to-point inverse output. How is that data useful ...
