Setup Methods

There are several methods how a setup can be calculated.

These are:

These are:

Set Orientation:Instrument was set up on a known point and oriented to a known azimuth.
Known Backsight:Instrument was set up on a known point and oriented to a known backsight point.
Resection/Resection Helmert:Instrument was set up on an unknown point. Station coordinates and the orientation were calculated by measuring to known target points.
Multiple Backsights:Instrument was set up on a known point. The Orientation and/or height were calculated by measuring to known target points.
Local Resection:Station coordinates and Orientation were derived from measuring to two points which define a local coordinate system.
Height Transfer:Instrument was set up on a known point. The height was calculated by measuring to known target points.
