## SDR 33 Survey Setup Procedure

- setting up a survey using **any**
**total station** and an
**SDR 33** electronic field book

## Purpose of this Discussion

- review a new survey setup using the 		SDR 33 electronic field book
- review moving the instrument to a 		new setup location using the SDR 		33	 electronic field book
- follow along with handout which goes 	 	through the procedure
- the procedure handout can be 			taken with you to the field

**enter backsight **
**point number**

- enter the backsight information, <OK>

**0001**

## the bottom of the screen will read
	 “BS azimuth not found”  

- 	 “BS azimuth not found”

- highlight Key in coordinates, <OK>

## WARNING!

- Do not select Key in azimuth or you will miss your chance to put in the backsight elevation!

## The Take BS reading screen appears, with confirmation of your setup orientation.

**	****	****0001**
**	****	****0100**

## Make sure your instrument is level, directly over your set up point, power on, index as necessary.  Aim the gun at your backsight point.

## 
When the crosshairs of the instrument eyepiece are lined up on the backsight point, press the Set Zero key on your total station.

This sets the azimuth of the line from point 1 to point 100 to 0o on the instrument, as you previously set it up in the data collector.

- This sets the azimuth of the line **from** point 1 **to** point 100 to 0o on the instrument, as you previously set it up in the data collector.

## With the rod person on the backsight point, sight the prism through the eyepiece of the instrument.

Take the shot using the <READ> key on the data collector.

## Your observations will appear on the screen once the shot is completed.  Fill in the target height (prism height).

- You are ready to collect shots for your survey.

**         ****91.3624°**
**          ****76.358**

**type in target height**

## After each shot, you may change the target height and/or the code (shot description).

By pressing the <Note> key on the data collector, you can add a note about the shots you are taking at any time during the survey.

This is a good place to note benchmark descriptions, errors, additional observations, what have you.

## Sometime during the survey, it is good practice to send the rod person in the direction of compass North and take a shot. 
This will help establish North on your plan map.

## Moving the instrument to a new station

From your first set up point, take a shot on a new hub stake (or other marker) to establish it’s location.

accept the last shot from the first set up 		by pressing <OK> on the data collector
shut down the instrument and data collector
move to the next set up point

## Even if you are occupying the same point on the next day, you must re-enter the station point number or the data collector will not know that you have changed your set up.
If you do not re-enter the station point number, you will not be asked for a Theo ht.

**If you do not re-enter the station point number, you will not be asked for a Theo ht.**

## the Confirm orientation screen is displayed
the BS pt field is highlighted and blank
enter the number of the point you will be 		backsighting on 
it must be a point that exists in your survey
it must be a point that can be located and 		re-occupied by the rod person in exactly 		the same place it was shot the first time
<OK>
