I don’t quite understand what’s happening here. You have set up, and used point blue as your BS, obtained that distance and set the angle to 0 degrees. Then you turned from your BS (blue) to point green, obtained the angle between those two and obtained a distance to point green. You then did this again for point orange. So at this point you have the distance from the TS to each hub, and the angles from blue to green, green to orange and orange to blue. But you don’t have a N, E, Z. Do you obtain the coordinates for your occupied point from the angles and distances that you collected? Am I missing something?
Ok I’m confused I know what a resection is and why it’s used but why do you have to do all the math when the total station we use at my job you can just back sight 2 control points and the total station will automatically do the math and know it’s location?
I am super greatful you have taken the trouble to upload this kind of information. I need to do some surveying for work, and I would be totally stuck without people like yourself putting these tutorials together
Thank you for the brilliant resourceful videos. I have one question , is it possible to correct the data if the reflector level was mistakenly set to 20m instead of 2 m?
Yes, you can do this in the office. You will notice your data has a large outlier, and if you have field notes or did the work yourself in the field, you will know what the correct number should be.
When setting up the gun, doesn't it need a known or assumed point with coordinates and a backsite before you start taking any measurements? Is there a menu on the gun that allows you to take measurements without doing a station setup? That would be useful to know for first timers. Thank you. Great video.
Good day. How do you position your TS if you have 3 points(2known 1unknown) but there's something blocking your view at any one point? How can I get all 3 shots?
Anybody else notice at ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-m-ds6ZxQ_Ic.html he was working the rod and the instrument at the same time?? LOL
I must be missing something here... so you've taken all those angle and distance measurements to the various points... but now what? How do you actually calculate the coordinates of the occupied point? Edit: never mind. I didn't realise this was part of a playlist and the next video shows how to do the calculations. (Here, for anyone else wondering: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-pKzn2VWMkow.html )
That device is an RC (remote controller). What it does is emit an infrared beam which is found by a receiver on the handle of the robotic total station, it allows you to lock the robotic total station to the prism and track it as you move around.
@@RamiTamimi - my pleasure! I want to say I love your videos. I've worked for Sokkia as a technical support person for a long time now, and am considering becoming a land surveyor. Your videos are going to help me get there, so thank you.
Thank you Rami for the great videos. You have helped demystify concepts in surveying that I didn't understand. I am about 1.5 years in this field. I am only making 20 bucks an hour currently here in Sarasota Florida but I'm watching your videos to try to build up my knowledge so I can work more efficiently and ultimately make more money. I'm 40 so I also would like to learn CAD on Carlson software. Do you have any advice for me trying to learn and earn more. Also do you know have videos explaining how to get certifications to make myself more valuable. My crew cheif said he's going to talk to the boss to get me paid more. I show up early and have a good attitude and have started to prove myself indispensable. I really need the money because I am hardly able to save money supporting my wife that is new to America from Iran. Any advice you have is appreciated. Thank you and keep up the good work!
A great video, I have a question. How do you label West in your field book, is it Due West, or 000 degrees West, or 270 degrees West or 90 degrees West? I know all these work but which should be used in a field book. Every one seems to deal with this different ways. So what is the one best way?
There is no right answer, but in the field notes I will write West or Due West. In an actual drawing, I like to call it North 90 degrees 00 minutes 00 seconds West.
Hi Rami, thanks for these videos. Should we record the Horizontal distances rather than the slope distances? same through with traversing? am just confused mate..
Question, so I’m currently using a sokkia SRX5X with a RC -4. The data collector already has all the points I need and control points. In theory, because my CPs are too far apart. I would like to place the total station in between my two CPs and do a resection robotically. I’m locked in and walking to my first CP .. as soon as walk around 200ft it disconnects and yes “ far mood “ is turned on and lenses are facing each other. Why does this happen? Is it a setting or procedures are being done wrong or what ? Please help
That is interesting, even if you are far away, the RC is able to control the total station and make it rotate and find you provided the sensor on the RC is pointed towards the total station.
@@RamiTamimi yes it’s a bit frustrating. The only way it allows me to walk further is if I’m backsighting and tracking. But like I said CPs are too far apart. I’m not sure if you’re willing to help me out and see how you set u u system 1. I want to be able to sit the total situation anywhere on site as long as I can see the CPs 2. Walk to my CP read it and walk to my next one Without disconnecting. I would greatly appreciate it mr.Tamimi. Tech support has been much help
